Conference Schedule & Topics
The program will take place on Monday, July 14, 2025, from 13:30 to 20:00 WET. It will feature lightning talks and demos on topics including:

Distant reading techniques in a comparative literary context.

Multilingual literary archives and text digitization.

The transformation of books and reading in the digital age.

GIS and data visualization in comparative literature.

Machine translation and AI in literary studies.

Language models in comparative literature.

To celebrate the concurrent creation and conclusion of these two sister projects, the SIG-DLS (now renamed “Digital Literary Studies”) organizes a mini-conference at DH2025 in Lisbon, dedicated to all applications of digital and computational methods in the study of literature.

Comparative Literature Goes Digital
In September 2024, a new Research Committee on “Digital Comparative Literature” (DCL) was formed as part of the International Comparative Literature Association (ICLA). In September 2025, the Computational Literary Studies Infrastructure (CLS-INFRA), part of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, will conclude its activities.

The ICLA DCL Committee is organizing a mini-conference at DH2025 (Lisbon, July 14-18, 2025), in collaboration with the ADHO Special Interest Group in Digital Literary Studies (SIG-DLS) and the Computational Literary Studies Infrastructure (CLS-INFRA). If you are interested in submitting a proposal, you can find the Call here below.
