Encompassing new technologies, research methods, and opportunities
for collaborative scholarship and open-source peer review, as well
as innovative ways of sharing knowledge and teaching, the digital
humanities promises to transform the liberal arts-and perhaps the
university itself. Indeed, at a time when many academic
institutions are facing austerity budgets, digital humanities
programs have been able to hire new faculty, establish new centers
and initiatives, and attract multimillion-dollar grants. Clearly
the digital humanities has reached a significant moment in its
brief history. But what sort of moment is it? Debates in the
Digital Humanities brings together leading figures in the field to
explore its theories, methods, and practices and to clarify its
multiple possibilities and tensions. From defining what a digital
humanist is and determining whether the field has (or needs)
theoretical grounding, to discussions of coding as scholarship and
trends in data-driven research, this cutting-edge volume delineates
the current state of the digital humanities and envisions potential
futures and challenges. At the same time, several essays aim
pointed critiques at the field for its lack of attention to race,
gender, class, and sexuality; the inadequate level of diversity
among its practitioners; its absence of political commitment; and
its preference for research over teaching. Together, the essays in
Debates in the Digital Humanities-which will be published both as a
printed book and later as an ongoing, open-access website-suggest
that the digital humanities is uniquely positioned to contribute to
the revival of the humanities and academic life. Contributors:
