This book examines new forms of representation that have changed
our perception and interpretation of the humanities in an Asian,
and digital, context. In analyzing written and visual texts, such
as the use of digital technology and animation in different works
of art originating from Asia, the authors demonstrate how
literature, history, and culture are being redefined in spatialized
relations amid the trend of digitization. Research studies on Asian
animation are in short supply, and so this volume provides new and
much needed insights into how art, literature, history, and culture
can be presented in innovative ways in the Asian digital world. The
first section of this volume focuses on the new conceptualization
of the digital humanities in art and film studies, looking at the
integration of digital technologies in museum narration and
cinematic production. The second section of the volume addresses
the importance of framing these discussions within the context of
gender issues in the digital world, discussing how women are
represented in different forms of social media. The third and final
section of the book explores the digital world's impacts on
people's lives through different forms of digital media, from the
electromagnetic unconscious to digital storytelling and digital
online games. This book presents a novel contribution to the
burgeoning field of the digital humanities by informing new forms
of representation and interpretations, and demonstrating how
digitization can influence and change cultural practices in Asia,
and globally. It will be of interest to students and scholars
interested in digitization from the full spectrum of humanities
disciplines, including art, literature, film, music, visual
culture, media, and animation, gaming, and Internet culture. "This
is a well-written book, and I enjoyed reading it. The first
impression of the book is that it is very innovative - a
down-to-the-earth academic volume that discusses digital culture."
- Professor Anthony Fung, Professor, Director, School of Journalism
and Communication, The Chinese University of Hong Kong "This book
has contributed to the existing field of humanities by informing
new forms of representation and interpretations, and how
digitization may change cultural practices. There is comprehensive
information on how the humanities in the digital age can be applied
to a wide range of subjects including art, literature, film, pop
music, music videos, television, animation, games, and internet
culture." - Dr Samuel Chu, Associate Professor, The Faculty of
Education, The University of Hong Kong
