Conference on the Ethics of Information & Knowledge Organization

Date:	08 June 2023 to 09 June 2023
Location:	Hybrid & Lille, France

Fourth International Conference on the Ethics of Information & Knowledge Organization and First International Conference of the International Thematic Network on Ethics in SHS (founded at UDL in 2021)

(Hybrid Conference)

The KO special issue’s objective is to renew research in the Ethics of Information & Knowledge Organization and broaden its scope to Social and Human Sciences (SHS). Ethics in SHS is a challenging issue and in line with the era of a society mediated by information and communication technology, and where we started living with technology, not only using it. In the field of Humanities, for instance, the notion of ethics is quite relevant to our stance. It is taken into account in as many different ways as the humanities are: we can deal with ethical questions in literature or philosophy by approaching criticism of texts production, in cultural history with the analysis of images regarding the misappropriation of images for example, and so on. What seems interesting to focus on, is that all the sciences –experimental or human - share questions, interrogations, and ethical issues which, of course, converge or, at the very least, resonate one with the other. Rather than assuming an ethical dimension specific to each science, it seems that the ethical questions are addressed in a more global way, and that all of them participate in the ethics of Science in general.

We would like to focus on the theoretical characteristics and approaches that can build a methodological and efficient model for examining Ethics and to highlight the various recurring issues related to the ethical dimensions of Information processing and organization.

From an interdisciplinary perspective, this CFP aims to bring together researchers and teachers from different SHS disciplines working on Ethics: computer science, archives, artificial intelligence, business and engineering, humanities (literature, linguistics, archeology, museology, theology…) etc. This CFP invites practitioners and researchers to reflect on the Ethics of Information with a special focus on KO, in an interdisciplinary perspective.
