Moderator: Penelope Papailias (University of Thessaly)
Participants: Mitsos Bilalis (University of Thessaly) | Despina Catapoti (University of the Aegean) | Maria Cecire (Bard College, New York) | Agata Lisiak (Bard College Berlin) | Manolis Patiniotis (University of Athens) | Petros Petridis (University of Thessaly) | Despoina Valatsou (Research Centre for the Humanities)
#1 HUMANITIES IN THE AGE OF THE DERIVATIVE (Intro)
Post-structuralism proclaimed the “death of the author”, postmodernism the “end of grand narratives” and digital humanities the “end of the book”. In contemporary network culture, fan fiction, fake news, micro-genres, memes and GIFs push against core humanities ideas -- and the social hierarchies built up around them -- including authorship, legitimacy, the work, audience, reading, logocentrism, originality, provenance, meaning, publication/the public, etc. This roundtable will bring together scholars across a range of humanities and social science disciplines (literary studies, history, archaeology, anthropology, media studies) who have been working actively with paradigms such as ‘digital humanities’, ‘public humanities’ and ‘experimental humanities’ to consider the state of the field.
#2 ALGORITHM AS AUTHOR
This roundtable will challenge experts in the theory, history and ethnography of technology to consider the impact of the ‘datalogical turn’ and algorithmic culture on conceptions of subjectivity, narrative, author/ity and value in contemporary society.
