Digital Humanities Projects - Competition
A new competition entitled “the AFHE Prizes in Digital Humanities” is organized in Paris to reward digital humanities projects in the field of economic history. The competition, organized and funded by the Association Française d’Histoire Économique (AFHE) under the patronage of the IEHA, is open to all researchers and institutions.
A special session will give the opportunity for each selected candidate or team to present their project during 15min presentation on their project. Furthermore, candidates will have the opportunity to display their projects on a large video screen in the Grand Équipement Documentaire on Campus Condorcet
The competition is divided into 2 categories: “Science Outreach” and “Research”. It offers the opportunity to promote ongoing and achieved projects involving new technologies in economic history.
Science outreach. We welcome all propositions based on a digital support dedicated to the popularization of knowledge, data and heritage collections for large audiences in the field of economic history. Accepted supports are: blogs & websites, videos, serious games, computer graphics, academic documentaries, digitisation projects, apps or other digital supports.. Each candidate will have to submit a 2 000 words essay presenting the research and to provide access to the digital product. Accepted supports should fit an on-screen presentation.
Digital Innovation & Research. We welcome all propositions from researchers using new digital tools (websites, software, apps, databases, etc.) and methods (mapping and spatial technologies, data visualisation, text encoding and analysis, network analysis, digitisation projects… etc) in the field of economic history. All kinds of academic research : published papers, dissertations, funded projects… etc will be accepted. Each candidate will have to submit a 2000 words essay presenting the research and to give access to the digital product. Accepted supports should fit an on-screen presentation.
The AFHE jury will assess the proposals that will be presented during the Congress and give a 400-euro award to the best project of each category.
