The emergence of digital humanities has been heralded for its
commitment to openness, access, and the democratizing of knowledge,
but it raises a number of questions about omissions with respect to
race, gender, sexuality, disability, and nation. Postcolonial
digital humanities is one approach to uncovering and remedying
inequalities in digital knowledge production, which is implicated
in an information-age politics of knowledge. New Digital Worlds
traces the formation of postcolonial studies and digital humanities
as fields, identifying how they can intervene in knowledge
production in the digital age. Roopika Risam examines the role of
colonial violence in the development of digital archives and the
possibilities of postcolonial digital archives for resisting this
violence. Offering a reading of the colonialist dimensions of
global organizations for digital humanities research, she explores
efforts to decenter these institutions by emphasizing the local
practices that subtend global formations and pedagogical approaches
that support this decentering. Last, Risam attends to human futures
in new digital worlds, evaluating both how algorithms and natural
language processing software used in digital humanities projects
produce universalist notions of the "human" and also how to resist
this phenomenon.
