The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, especially in digital humanities and generative AI, has accelerated in response to the pandemic. This surge has significantly influenced the progress of humanities and social sciences in the "post-pandemic era." During this era, research in European language, literature, and culture not only encompasses the development and application of AI industries but also necessitates a continual reexamination of the essence of European cultural traditions. Therefore, there is a need for engagement in humanistic reflection and social concern. The objective of this conference is to explore reflections and development strategies for European language, literature, and cultural studies in the post-pandemic era, aiming to initiate discussions in relevant fields from a macro perspective and facilitate academic exchange among domestic scholars and experts.   Sub-topics（Call for Papers） The Themes of Confinement and War/Lockdown in European Literature Science Fiction and Social Justice in European Literature The Interdisciplinary Study on European Narrative in the Post-pandemic Era Social Reflections on the Study of European Literature and History in the Post-pandemic Era  Digital Humanities and European Literature, Language and Culture Multiculturalism and Identity in the European Union in the Post-pandemic Era Transformations and Applications of Artificial Intelligence in European Language Education in the Post-pandemic Era Transformations and Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Translation Teaching and Research of European Language in the Post-pandemic Era The Study of Illness in European Literature and Culture in the Post-pandemic Era Other Topics Related to the Study of European Language, Literature and Culture
