會議緣起

  「數位典藏與數位人文國際研討會」(International Conference of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities, DADH,以下簡稱DADH)自 2009 年由國立臺灣大學數位人文研究中心發起,至今已舉辦十三屆年度學術會議,是亞洲地區最早舉辦之數位人文相關國際會議。我國數位人文領域研究與發展於國際已富盛名,歷年透過DADH逐漸吸引相關人文與資訊研究者投入,至今方興未艾。DADH亦於此潮流中,發展為備國際矚目之重要研討會,每屆會議吸引美國、德國、英國、日本、新加坡與中國大陸等地之研究學者共同與會。即使過去三年新冠肺炎疫情嚴峻,仍由中央研究院數位文化中心承辦,以線上會議方式完成第十一屆年度會議,獲得豐碩成果與好評。

  初期DADH由國立臺灣大學主辦,爾後隨臺灣數位人文研究社群擴大,及數位人文研究方法逐漸於各領域獲得認同。臺灣數位人文學會於 2016 年成立後,DADH成為臺灣數位人文學會年會,並成為臺灣數位人文學界最重要年度聚會。2017年首次委由國立政治大學主辦第八屆DADH,並自此開啟每年由不同單位承辦會議之慣例。2018年第九屆會議由法鼓文理學院主辦、2019年第十屆會議由國立臺灣師範大學主辦、2020年由中央研究院數位文化中心主辦第十一屆會議、2021年由國立彰化師範大學文學院主辦第十二屆會議、2022年由國立中興大學文學院主辦第十三屆會議。2021年與2022年是DADH首次離開臺北市至中臺灣召開,象徵數位人文研究跨越地域之別,往臺灣不同區域與縣市進行推廣與發展,此份意義格外重大。

  第十四屆會議將由國立成功大學文學院主辦,國立成功大學中國文學系、國立成功大學多元文化研究中心承辦,希冀透過國際各界專家學者於會議互動與交流,讓數位人文活水充分灌溉南臺灣土地,孕育更多數位人文研究種苗,持續開枝散葉、繽紛綻放。


“International Conference of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities”, hereinafter referred to as DADH).  Initiated by the Research Center for Digital Humanities of National Taiwan University in 2009, it has held thirteen annual academic conferences and is the earliest digital humanities-related international conference held in Asia.  The research and development in the field of digital humanities in Taiwan is already well-known in the world. Over the years, DADH has gradually attracted the investment of relevant humanities and information researchers, and it is still in the ascendant.  In this trend, DADH has also developed into an important seminar that attracts international attention. Each session attracts researchers from the United States, Germany, Britain, Japan, Singapore, and mainland China to participate.  Even though the COVID-19 epidemic has been severe in the past three years, the Academia Sinica Center for Digital Cultures still hosted the 11th Annual Conference in the form of an online conference, which has received fruitful results and praise.

Initially, DADH was sponsored by National Taiwan University. Later, with the expansion of the digital humanities research community in Taiwan, digital humanities research methods gradually gained recognition in various fields.  After the Taiwan Association for Digital Humanities (TADH) was established in 2016, DADH became the annual meeting of TADH and the most important annual gathering of the Taiwan Digital Humanities community.  In 2017, the National Chengchi University was appointed to host the 8th DADH for the first time, and since then, it has started the practice of hosting meetings by different units every year.  The 9th DADH hosted by Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts in 2018; the 10th was National Taiwan Normal University in 2019; the 11th was Academia Sinica Center for Digital Cultures in 2020; the 12th was College of Liberal Arts, National Changhua University of Education in 2021; the 13th was College of Liberal Arts, National Chung Hsing University in 2022.  In 2021 and 2022, DADH held in Central Taiwan. That was the first time outside of Taipei City, which symbolizes the promotion and development of digital humanities research across different regions and counties in Taiwan, which is of great significance.

The 14th DADH will be hosted by College of Liberal Arts, National Cheng Kung University. Department of Chinese Literature, NCKU and Center for Multi-cultural Studies, NCKU will be responsible for it. It is hoped that through the interaction and exchange of international experts and scholars from all walks of life at the conference, the digital humanities will be fully irrigated to the land of southern Taiwan, and more digital humanities research seeds will continue to bloom and bloom colorfully.
