The Bloomsbury Handbook to the Digital Humanities reconsiders key debates, methods, possibilities, and failings from across the digital humanities, offering a timely interrogation of the present and future of the arts and humanities in the digital age.
Comprising 43 essays from some of the field's leading scholars and practitioners, this comprehensive collection examines, among its many subjects, the emergence and ongoing development of DH, postcolonial digital humanities, feminist digital humanities, race and DH, multilingual digital humanities, media studies as DH, the failings of DH, critical digital humanities, the future of text encoding, cultural analytics, natural language processing, open access and digital publishing, digital cultural heritage, archiving and editing, sustainability, DH pedagogy, labour, artificial intelligence, the cultural economy, and the role of the digital humanities in climate change.
The Bloomsbury Handbook to the Digital Humanities:
Surveys key contemporary debates within DH, focusing on pressing issues of perspective, methodology, access, capacity, and sustainability.
Reconsiders and reimagines the past, present, and future of the digital humanities.
Features an intuitive structure which divides topics across five sections: "Perspectives & Polemics", "Methods, Tools & Techniques", "Public Digital Humanities", "Institutional Contexts", and "DH Futures".
Comprehensive in scope and accessibility written, this book is essential reading for students, scholars, and practitioners working across the digital humanities and wider arts and humanities.
Featuring contributions from pre-eminent scholars and radical thinkers both established and emerging, The Bloomsbury Handbook to the Digital Humanities should long serve as a roadmap through the myriad formulations, methodologies, opportunities, and limitations of DH. Comprehensive in its scope, pithy in style yet forensic in its scholarship, this book is essential reading for students, scholars, and practitioners working across the digital humanities, whatever DH might be, and whatever DH might become.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
James O'Sullivan's Handbook deserves to be read widely for its very approach to curation and conversation around a subject. Its relevance lies beyond digital humanities. If every volume were to conceptualize its subject to include critical reflections, only articulating the backlash it has received, it would be a healthy sign of knowledge production in every domain. Perhaps, that is the greatest takeaway from the book: [digital humanities] may have its naysayers but [digital humanities] itself does not naysay, as it were, even to its naysayers. * Digital Humanities Quarterly * Presents contributions about a wide range of topics, showing how digital humanities has matured and how it still pushes the boundaries in academia. A lot of attention is given to the difficulties, discussions, and other aspects of its 'dark side'. Greatly recommended! * Karina van Dalen-Oskam, Professor of Computational Literary Studies, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands * This remarkably varied collection of provocations, orientations, and reflections will be as useful for teaching as it will for spurring dialogue among those already immersed in digital humanities. A landmark and a valuable resource. * Julia Flanders, Professor of English and Director of the Digital Scholarship Group, Northeastern University, USA *
James O'Sullivan is Lecturer in Digital Arts and Humanities at University College Cork, Ireland.
