Digital Cultural Heritage as a Research Field: Innovative Approaches between Semiotics and Memory Studies

We are delighted to announce a second workshop of the DIGHT-Net project on 13 October 2024 at Tallinn University, which will focus on innovative approaches to digital cultural heritage, bridging the fields of semiotics and memory studies. This event will offer fresh perspectives on how we understand and engage with archives and memory in the age of digital culture. It offers an excellent opportunity to explore how semiotic approaches can enrich our understanding of digital cultural heritage and its interaction with memory in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
