“The Endless Scroll: Digital Approaches to Medieval Time”
Sponsored by @mshl-cdha.bsky.social

How can digital methods help us study or represent medieval ideas of time?

Submit by 1 Sept 2025

CfP for IMC Leeds, 6-9 July 2026

The Endless Scroll: Digital Approaches to Medieval Time

Sponsor: Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts, Iceland
Submission deadline: 1 September 2025

The Icelandic Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts invites contributions that explore how digital methods and tools can illuminate, represent, and reinterpret medieval temporalities. While we particularly welcome research with a focus on the Northern World, this call is open to comparative or globally situated projects across disciplines, periods, and geographies that approach time as both a subject of inquiry and a structuring principle.

Possible topics may include (but are not limited to):

Visualising medieval perceptions or structures of time
Tools and technologies for measuring, representing, or distorting medieval time
Digital editions of computus texts
Digital reconstruction of objects or texts, lost or transformed over time
Manuscript temporality (e.g. mise-en-page, palimpsests, gloss traditions, marginalia) using computational approaches
Modelling temporal rhythms in liturgy, agriculture, politics, or narratives
Analysis of long-term temporalities in environmental, climatic, or landscape data
Artificial intelligence and the automation of temporal interpretation
Temporal modelling in metadata, databases, markup languages, and DH infrastructures
Interface design and user experience in projects that convey or manipulate medieval temporalities
Re-mediating or reimagining medieval time in games or immersive digital environments
Temporal poetics and the aesthetics of time in digital medievalism

Please submit an abstract of around 200 words, a short bio including affiliation and contact information, and indicate your preferred mode of participation (in-person or virtual).
Proposals and queries should be sent to Katrín Lísa L. Mikaelsdóttir (kll@hi.is) no later than 1 September 2025.

Did you know about our two public @transkribus.bsky.social models for Icelandic historical handwriting? 📝🇮🇸

Both were trained by Emil Gunnlaugsson, supported by MSHL/CDHA, with source material from the National Archives of Iceland and the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies 👇

What a ride it’s been. Organising the @antidote-network.bsky.social event took blood, sweat, tears, laughter, and love, and it’s been such a memorable experience to see it all come together successfully!

Grateful for everyone who made it happen. I'm already looking forward to next year 💙
