Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Humanities is becoming an increasingly popular focus of academic endeavour. There are now hundreds of Digital Humanities centres worldwide and the subject is taught at both postgraduate and undergraduate level. Yet the term ’Digital Humanities’ is much debated. This reader brings together, for the first time, in one core volume the essential readings that have emerged in Digital Humanities. We provide a historical overview of how the term ’Humanities Computing’ developed into the term ’Digital Humanities’, and highlight core readings which explore the meaning, scope, and implementation of the field. To contextualize and frame each included reading, the editors and authors provide a commentary on the original piece. There is also an annotated bibliography of other material not included in the text to provide an essential list of reading in the discipline. This text will be required reading for scholars and students who want to discover the history of Digital Humanities through its core writings, and for those who wish to understand the many possibilities that exist when trying to define Digital Humanities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of information technology is reviewed by scholars who are leading pioneers in the application of that technology to research in their disciplines. From both a general appreciation of their fields, and from their own personal research, they discuss whether this impact amounts to a paradigm shift, posing new research themes and new approaches. Stemming from a conference organized by the British Academy in October 1996, this volume gives a unique overview of IT across a wide range of disciplines in both the humanities and the social sciences and provides a benchmark of the situation in the late 1990s from which future progress can be assessed.

Download or read book Introduction to Digital Humanities written by Kathryn C. Wymer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Digital Humanities is designed for researchers, teachers, and learners in humanities subject areas who wish to align their work with the field of digital humanities. Many institutions are encouraging digital approaches to the humanities, and this book offers guidance for students and scholars wishing to make that move by reflecting on why and when digital humanities tools might usefully be applied to engage in the kind of inquiry that is the basis for study in humanities disciplines. In other words, this book puts the "humanities" before the "digital" and offers the reader a conceptual framework for how digital projects can advance research and study in the humanities. Both established and early career humanities scholars who wish to embrace digital possibilities in their research and teaching will find insights on current approaches to the digital humanities, as well as helpful studies of successful projects.

Book excerpt: Based on a qualitative case study at the Society for the Humanities (Cornell University), this project investigates how information and communication technologies (ICTs) support research and scholarly discourse by humanities scholars. The research is guided by the principles of grounded theory and social informatics in gathering and analyzing data about scholars' perceptions and accounts of technology use. The research strategy is built on the premise that technologies are mutually constituted by interactions between the properties of technological artifacts and their broader context. The study not only examines the practices of scholars who employ technologies but also attempts to understand the perspectives of those who choose not to integrate them into their workflows. Several themes emerge to illustrate the situated, fluid, and emergent nature of technology assessment and adaptation. They include the evolving notions of distance and place, the enduring value of the affordances of physical knowledge spaces, the increasing role of search engines in research, and changing patterns of reading and interdisciplinary collaborations. Also considered are the role of multimodal scholarship and social collaboration media in academic practices. The findings not only confirm well-established patterns of ICT use but also demonstrate how interactions with technologies might lead to multiple, unexpected, and paradoxical effects. There is an inherent tension as the informants' accounts also reveal negative perceptions of technologies and unintended consequences for their scholarship. The study was designed to interpret the notion of digital humanities from the informants' perspectives and to explore the meanings they associate with this evolving concept. As we envision a digital infrastructure for facilitating and enhancing humanities scholarship, the optimism about the transformative role of new media must be carefully balanced by aligning technological affordances with principal goals and norms of humanities scholarship. Understanding scholars' ICT use patterns and opinions requires a holistic approach that also factors in variances in their technological frames and the structural elements of the academy such as publishing systems, information policies, and institutional support services. The paper concludes with policy and design recommendations to facilitate the construction of e-scholarship systems and services that align with the needs and practice of scholars.

Download or read book Digital Technology and the Practices of Humanities Research written by Jennifer Edmond and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does technology impact research practices in the humanities? How does digitisation shape scholarly identity? How do we negotiate trust in the digital realm? What is scholarship, what forms can it take, and how does it acquire authority? This diverse set of essays demonstrate the importance of asking such questions, bringing together established and emerging scholars from a variety of disciplines, at a time when data is increasingly being incorporated as an input and output in humanities sources and publications. Major themes addressed include the changing nature of scholarly publishing in a digital age, the different kinds of ‘gate-keepers’ for scholarship, and the difficulties of effectively assessing the impact of digital resources. The essays bring theoretical and practical perspectives into conversation, offering readers not only comprehensive examinations of past and present discourse on digital scholarship, but tightly-focused case studies. This timely volume illuminates the different forces underlying the shifting practices in humanities research today, with especial focus on how humanists take ownership of, and are empowered by, technology in unexpected ways. Digital Technology and the Practices of Humanities Research is essential reading for scholars, students, and general readers interested in the changing culture of research practices in the humanities, and in the future of the digital humanities on the whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an informed view of how information technology is shaping the contemporary humanities. It specifically reflects five ideals: *humanities scholars with all levels of access are doing important work with technology; *humanities scholars' projects with technology reflect significant diversity, both across and within disciplinary bounds; *using information technology in the humanities is a continuous conversation; *information technology offers new options for humanities education; and *just as collaboration changes the nature of any project, so does information technology change the nature of collaboration--its speed, character, methods, and possible implementations. The first to explore new and important ways for humanities scholars to collaborate across disciplines via electronic media, this book redefines electronic collaboration; presents insightful models of student collaboration; provides important models of faculty collaboration with special emphasis on professional development; and offers a look at the future of electronic collaboration and the overall future of the humanities. Featuring the voices of humanities teacher-scholars at all stages of their professional careers, the chapters emphasize pedagogy, outlining contemporary issues and options. Electronic Collaboration in the Humanities speaks directly to anyone involved with interdisciplinary initiatives in colleges and universities, such as writing across the curriculum and communication across the curriculum programs, and to specific populations within the humanities, including literacy and technology, language and literature, literacy studies, professional writing, and English education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 21, 2010, Daniel J. Cohen and Tom Scheinfeldt posted the following provocative questions online: “Can an algorithm edit a journal? Can a library exist without books? Can students build and manage their own learning management platforms? Can a conference be held without a program? Can Twitter replace a scholarly society?” As recently as the mid-2000s, questions like these would have been unthinkable. But today serious scholars are asking whether the institutions of the academy as they have existed for decades, even centuries, aren’t becoming obsolete. Every aspect of scholarly infrastructure is being questioned, and even more importantly, being hacked. Sympathetic scholars of traditionally disparate disciplines are canceling their association memberships and building their own networks on Facebook and Twitter. Journals are being compiled automatically from self-published blog posts. Newly minted PhDs are forgoing the tenure track for alternative academic careers that blur the lines between research, teaching, and service. Graduate students are looking beyond the categories of the traditional CV and building expansive professional identities and popular followings through social media. Educational technologists are “punking” established technology vendors by rolling out their own open source infrastructure. Here, in Hacking the Academy, Daniel J. Cohen and Tom Scheinfeldt have gathered a sampling of the answers to their initial questions from scores of engaged academics who care deeply about higher education. These are the responses from a wide array of scholars, presenting their thoughts and approaches with a vibrant intensity, as they explore and contribute to ongoing efforts to rebuild scholarly infrastructure for a new millennium.
