  Dear DARIAH colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the PhD-seminar "Digital Humanities and
the Study of the Web and Web Archives”, which is jointly organized by
DIGHUMLAB<http://dighumlab.dk/> and NetLab<http://www.netlab.dk/>
Denmark. It will take place from 3rd until 5th of December 2012 at the
Hotel Vejleford<http://www.hotelvejlefjord.dk/en> in Denmark.


Today the Internet is the medium which holds the most multifaceted set
of materials documenting contemporary social, cultural, and political
life. It has become the fulcrum for the general development of media,
including mass media and a growing variety of digital devices. If the
communicative infrastructure of society in the late 20th century was
centered on television, it is today centered on the Internet.

As a variety of digital media penetrates all spheres in society, they
also play a still more dominant role for the social sciences,
humanities and arts. They do so in three respects: as archives for
contemporary life, as a toolbox for the study of all sorts of digital
collections, including digitized collections of non-digital materials
(often labeled cultural heritage), and as a means for enforced
communication within all spheres of society.

This course will concentrate on the role of the Internet and
particularly on online and archived web materials for scholars
studying contemporary political, social, and cultural phenomena.

Ele Kraft
