ObjectiveandScope:
Recent developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
and interactive applications are creating new social tools and conditions for
people to connect and interact; therefore changing the ways we communicate,
socialize and collaborate. These new forms of digital enhanced communication
and collaboration have been rapidly adopted and integrated into people’s
everyday lives. Understanding the nature and consequences of these new
interactionsandsocialtransformationsiscrucialifwewanttodesignandshape

life. One major challenge we have identified is the exploration of the two-way
interactions between society and ICT with a focus on the Humanities. This
particular orientation has the potential to become a key success factor for the
valuesandcompetitivenessofmanyNordiccountrieshavinginmindrecentEU
andSwedishpoliticaldiscussionsinthefieldofDigitalHumanities.
The 1st International Digital Humanities Symposium will take place in Växjö,
Sweden, 7-8 November. The symposium invites and challenges Nordic and
European researchers and practitioners in related disciplines to Digital Humanities
(DH) to present, discuss and demonstrate different possibilities, current efforts and
upcoming trends in this emergent field.
