The Accumulation Technologies symposium comprises these two panels:

1) Digital Humanities: data, ‘Big Data’, Dataism
Some political and media events have led to the wide dissemination of the term ‘post-truth’ within the most varied areas, from art and culture to political philosophy. ‘Big Data’ has entered into our lives, opening unsuspected possibilities to control desire, and so to control future though the so-called ‘dataism’ (Byung-Chul Han, 2014). This panel seeks to expand the discussion around the actual willingness of the Humanities, which are running towards a technical actualization through the ‘Digital Humanities’.

2) Dissenting Archives: alter, deviate, hack
We usually give to the archival device a regulatory power, an active capacity to codify and normalize stories. Taking advantage of this power, some contemporary archives try to work in a decentered way: territorializing as they are addressed to the content and its context, and deterritorializing as they seek to carry the archive beyond itself. The structuring machine becomes a liberating machine able to generate counter-narratives.

We welcome paper submissions that address, but are not limited to, the
following themes:

- Dataism, ‘Big Data’ and their relations with the artistic field
- The passage from quantitative to qualitative analysis in databases and archives
- The ‘Digital Humanities’ phenomenon and its relation with the archival practices
- Perspectives from the archive: data technicians, archivists or artists taking these roles
- Critical and/or dissenting art practices in, on, from the archive
- Study Cases of archives modified by their content
- Anarchive, anti-archive, de-archive

PhD Students or other researchers, academics or not, are encouraged to send proposals for a communication of maximum 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of debate.

To submit a paper, please send an abstract of maximum 400 words, with title and three keywords, along with a brief biography of maximum 150 words. Please indicate the panel within which your proposal should be located.

Register, assistance and participation are free.
