This book provides new critical and methodological approaches to
digital humanities, intended to guide technical development as well
as critical analysis. Informed by the history of technology and
culture and new perspectives on modernity, Smithies grounds his
claims in the engineered nature of computing devices and their
complex entanglement with our communities, our scholarly
traditions, and our sense of self. The distorting mentalite of the
digital modern informs our attitudes to computers and
computationally intensive research, leading scholars to reject
articulations of meaning that admit the interdependence of humans
and the complex socio-technological systems we are embedded in. By
framing digital humanities with the digital modern, researchers can
rebuild our relationship to technical development, and seek
perspectives that unite practical and critical activity. This
requires close attention to the cyber-infrastructures that inform
our research, the software-intensive methods that are producing new
knowledge, and the ethical issues implicit in the production of
digital humanities tools and methods. The book will be of interest
to anyone interested in the intersection of technology with
humanities research, and the future of digital humanities.
