The symposium ‘The Avatars of Colonial Discourse: Computational Approaches to Colonial Media History’ is organised in collaboration with the Impresso project and brings together historians and digital humanities researchers working on colonial archives, media history, computational methods, digitisation, and the politics of knowledge. The programme includes a keynote lecture by Matthew G. Stanard (Past President of the French Colonial Historical Society), “Fiction in the Tropics of Discourse,” followed by three thematic sessions:
- “Critical computational approaches to colonial history,” with Cindy Ahn Nguyen and Ashley Sanders
- “Rebuilding the colonial archive: infrastructures, silences, and access,” with Ruselle Meade, Leon van Wissen and Kay Pepping, and Julia Göke
- “Media, power, and discourse in colonial times,” with Jiaqi Zhu, Ferdaous Affan and Vy Cao
The symposium will take place at the Maison des Schiences Humaines (Black Box Room, ground floor)
