Abstract
The International Research Center on Slaveries and Post-Slaveries (CIRESC) creates a new digital journal of international standing, Slaveries and Post-Slaveries/Esclavages et Post-esclavages, supported by the Institut des sciences humaines et sociales (InSHS). Its third issue deals with Digital Humanities' topic.
Announcement
Special Issue “Best Practices and Methods for Digital Humanities: Projects on the History of Slavery and the Slave Trade” [temporary title]
Editors
- Jane Landers,
- Jean-Pierre Le Glaunec,
- Henry Lovejoy
- Paul Lovejoy.
Argument
An increasing number of digital humanities projects have emerged in the field of slavery studies, and new initiatives seek to connect data among and between these silos of information via Linked Open Data. This requires scholars to re-evaluate best practices and methods, in particular, how to use, operate, cite, give credit for intellectual and technological input, and make available data sustainable. Digital humanities projects require interdisciplinary teams of people and are challenging to manage. They are continuously evolving and expanding, undergoing ongoing technological updates and incorporating a wide-range of multimedia sources. Unlike the printed book or article, knowing how to cite digital projects is a concern because it is not always clear who contributed what and when. Preserving digital legacies also requires additional discussion and analysis.
The co-editors of the special issue welcome contributions from digital humanities projects related to the history of slavery and the slave trade and from all researchers in the field. Because Slaveries & Post-Slaveries is an online journal, contributions can take several forms including full-length articles, short reports and opinion pieces on digital sources and website construction, podcast development and interviews about the experiences of directing digital humanities projects, and website reviews.
