Call for proposals
Datafication and cultural heritage - provocations, threats, and design
opportunities
A workshop at ECSCW 2020, June 14, in Siegen, Germany.
Increasing digitization and the emergence of new data sharing practices are
likely to change how our understanding of history is negotiated. Archiving
practices are not only fundamental for our understanding of the past but vital
in navigating the present. We have to pay particular attention to the
consequences of the interfaces that curate history, especially in relation to
big data. Crowdsourcing, social media, linked open data, and other
participatory and open science practices challenge the archiving practices in
cultural heritage institutions, but they also open up new opportunities and
practices when it comes to understanding and defining our shared culture.
In this workshop we will bring together researchers who have studied these
issues or are working to develop critical perspectives on archiving practices.
Deadline for submissions is April 3, 2020.
The maximum length of a position paper is 2,000 words. The papers should follow
the CSCW formatting
guidelines<https://www.springer.com/journal/10606/submission-guidelines>.
Submissions and inquiries shall be sent to the following email address:
