Annual meeting of the Association of Digital Humanities in the German-speaking world, organized by the University of Marburg. 1. to 5. March 2027 in Marburg. Submission deadline: 1. August 2026.
Gaps are constitutive of knowledge. They mark blank spaces, raise new questions and drive processes of knowledge. The DHd 2027 focuses on these productive, problematic and responsible dimensions of gaps, uncertainties and differences – and thus also surveys implicit ideals of completeness and ambiguity of data as well as the underlying interpretation processes. She asks how blank spaces, practices and procedures shape digital humanities, as an epistemic precondition, methodological challenge, ethical responsibility and the starting point for new interpretations. The focus is on both material and historical absences as well as algorithmic intransparencies, data gaps, modeling decisions and unequal approaches to knowledge and infrastructure.
