Upcoming conference:
The University of Copenhagen's Institute of English, German and Romance Studies wishes to announce its upcoming conference on internet research in the humanities: Click-on-Knowledge.
http://engerom.ku.dk/clickonknowledge
The conference is a three-day event, comprising the presentation of papers, keynote speeches and panel discussions.
The conference will discuss a broad range of issues all concerning the interactions between research and study in the humanities and so-called web-based knowledge. We are seeking speakers who are interested in the production of knowledge and how this production has been affected by the development of the internet. Specifically, the areas we wish to explore involve e-text copyrights, new web-based learning techniques and pod-casting. In examining these subjects, however, our focus is not solely on what is new in the sense of technological developments, but how the new renovates the old. Therefore, another focus of the conference is on the history of knowledge as an idea that can be disseminated by way of such early media as the book, the class room and the library.
