Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the publication of the special issue
/Digital Resilience Within a Hypermediated Polycrisis
<https://www.cogitatiopress.com/mediaandcommunication/issue/view/499>/,
published in /Media and Communication/.

The issue brings together 15 articles spanning more than 17 countries
and addressing a wide range of digital resilience phenomena, from
Bangladeshi women’s responses to disinformation and online harassment,
to community‐led
technologies countering environmental injustices in Brazil, to the
navigation of digital surveillance in later life in Spain. Together, it
offers an interdisciplinary, multimethod, and global approach that
highlights both the opportunities and challenges involved in fostering
digital resilience.

All articles are open access and freely available to read and download
(see the table of contents below and the attached editorial).

Best,
Marc Esteve del Valle, Ansgard Heinrich and Anabel Quan-Haase

Themed issue description

Art history is a discipline shaped from the outset by imaging technologies. Yet
debates ensue over whether digital approaches have led merely to methodological,
epistemic and ontological shifts. Might today’s computational techniques be said
to “reconfigure our fundamental understanding of what constitutes a work of art”
(Drucker 2013)? In what ways are computational methods affirming, challenging,
and/or shifting computational formalism (Wasieleski)? To what degree are
approaches such as distant viewing (Arnold and Tilton, 2023) and digital art
history as critical AI (Impett and Offert2024) opening, closing, and expanding
the study of art? How might computational analyses illuminate the hidden
networks of meaning and influence that underpin visual culture? What other
directions might computational methods afford for the analysis and creation of
“art”? These are just several questions that we invite researchers to engage.

Rather than viewing art as a static archive, computational approaches invite us
to reimagine it as a dynamic site where meanings are constructed, contested, and
circulated. By tracing patterns and connections imperceptible to traditional
methods—patterns that might reveal, for instance, the interplay between image,
audience, and context—these approaches surface visual culture as an active
process shaped by the forces of production, mediation, and reception.
Accordingly, we also invite submissions that demonstrate how combining methods
such as image and network analysis offer a methodological approach into the
study of art. 

This themed issue aims to explore the ways in which advanced computational
techniques are reshaping the methodologies, research questions, and epistemic
frameworks within the fields of art history and related disciplines. This issue
seeks to highlight how computational humanities contribute to our understanding
of art across periods, geographies, and media, and we also welcome work that
demonstrates the limits of computational approaches. 


Topics of interest

We invite researchers to submit papers that address computational approaches to
the study of art or visual culture, broadly understood. We welcome both new
contributions as well as extended versions of papers presented at previous CHR
conferences. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

  *   Computational techniques for the analysis of art
  *   AI/Computer vision methods for art, including clustering and
classification
  *   Visualisation strategies for art corpora
  *   Computational approaches to the history of art, including photography
  *   3D and non-flat art culture: architectural history, sculpture, etc. 
  *   The gaze of computer vision and GenAI with, through, and creating art
  *   Computational approaches to areas such as restoration and conservation,
digital reconstruction, and art markets and audiences
  *   Cross-disciplinary work bridging and expanding art history with other
fields

Ethical, political and legal questions.


Submission process

All submissions should be made via the CHR online peer review system(opens in a
new tab)<https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ch-research>. Authors should consult
