Digital technologies and new media are changing the nature of
research, teaching, and learning in humanities. Interdisciplining
Digital Humanities sorts through definitions and patterns of
practice over roughly 65 years of work, providing an overview for
specialists and the general audience alike. It depicts both the
ways this new field is being situated within individual domains and
dynamic cross-fertilizations that are fostering new relationships
across academic boundaries. It also accounts for digital
reinvigorations of "public humanities" in cultural heritage
institutions of museums, archives, libraries, and community forums.
This volume is ideal for a wide audience interested in the digital
humanities, from a literary studies scholar designing a digital
collection for one author, an anthropologist or historian creating
a computer visualization of a site, a musical instructor mapping
sound patterns in the canon of a composer, an artist mounting a
multimodal installation, a foreign language professor producing a
digital archive of a period, a women's studies scholar researching
the relationship of the body and technology, to a librarian
building an online research guide to the field. Understanding its
contours will enable them to situate their activities within its
large expanse while sharpening their understanding of
interdisciplinarity.
