Subject: CFP: 10th Anniversary Issue of the Journal of Cultural Analytics
CFP Ten-Year Anniversary Issue: Reflections on a Decade of Seeing the Forest and
the Trees
The Journal of Cultural Analytics was founded a decade ago to advance original
arguments about studying culture at scale. In this special issue, we intend to
take stock of our progress in this endeavor as well as to open up new
perspectives for future research. What have we learned from exploring the
relationship between the forest and the trees using computational approaches? To
what degree have these insights emerged from evolving theoretical or
methodological frameworks in the humanities? To what extent should developments
in computer science, especially the rise of transformer-based machine learning,
inflect research in the humanities? Looking ahead, what changing paradigms might
define the next ten years of cultural analytics? We welcome contributions on any
relevant topic but are especially interested in the following areas and
questions:
• Specific contributions of cultural analytics within a broader DH framework
• Changing notions of scale and the value of studying culture “at scale”
• Rethinking the relations among quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, and
computational approaches.
• Cultural analytics as a recuperation of earlier trends in literary and
cultural studies
• Advances in the study of non-textual materials, i.e. sound, images, 3D,
material culture
• Cultural heritage preservation, digital archives and counter-archives
• Developments in the study of non-English and non-Western languages
• Cultural analytics and pedagogy
• Cultural analytics in the age of generative AI
