Introduction
The contemporary world is witnessing rapid civilizational and digital transformations that have reshaped patterns of thought, knowledge production, and human communication. These developments have compelled the humanities and social sciences to reconsider many of their traditional concepts, methodologies, and tools. Human and social phenomena are no longer studied within closed disciplinary boundaries; rather, they increasingly intersect with emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, digitalization, cognitive sciences, digital media, and cultural studies.
This shift calls for moving beyond single-discipline approaches toward interdisciplinary perspectives capable of engaging with current civilizational and digital transformations and assessing their contribution to sustainable development, in which the human being remains both the central concern and the ultimate purpose.
These transformations raise profound questions about the future of research, the influence of artificial intelligence on topics and methodologies, the reliability of information, privacy, algorithmic bias, ethics, and the protection of heritage and cultural memory. They also highlight the need to represent linguistic and cultural particularities adequately in digital environments.
The conference therefore seeks to establish a scholarly forum for dialogue across disciplines and to explore prospects for renewing the humanities and social sciences. It aims to combine theoretical depth with practical relevance and harness modern technology to produce more open and effective human and social knowledge in support of meaningful sustainable development.
Conference Problematic
How can the humanities and social sciences reconstruct their concepts, methodologies, and tools in light of accelerating civilizational and digital transformations, in ways that foster interdisciplinary interaction and ensure the production of knowledge capable of understanding human beings, society, and culture while anticipating future transformations?
Conference Question
- What transformations has digitalization introduced into the subjects and methodologies of the humanities and social sciences?
- How can interdisciplinary approaches be developed to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries?
- What role can artificial intelligence play in advancing research in the humanities and social sciences?
- How can technology be balanced with the humanistic and ethical dimensions of knowledge?
- How does the digital environment affect language, culture, identity, memory, and social practices?
- How can the humanities and social sciences contribute to understanding and guiding civilizational transformations?
- What are the prospects for an interdisciplinary knowledge model that responds to the digital age while preserving the distinctive character of these disciplines?
Conference Vision
From Disciplinarity to Interdisciplinarity: Toward a New Model for the Humanities and Social Sciences in the Digital Age
This vision directly connects civilizational transformation, digitalization, artificial intelligence, and methodological renewal, giving the conference a clear and distinctive scholarly identity.
