For over a dozen years, the Vectors Lab has experimented with
digital scholarship through its online publication, Vectors, and
through Scalar, a multimedia authoring platform. The history of
this software lab intersects a much longer tale about computation
in the humanities, as well as tensions about the role of theory in
related projects. Tara McPherson considers debates around the role
of cultural theory within the digital humanities and addresses Gary
Hall's claim that the goals of critical theory and of quantitative
or computational analysis may be irreconcilable (or at the very
least require "far more time and care"). She then asks what it
might mean to design-from conception-digital tools and applications
that emerge from contextual concerns of cultural theory and, in
particular, from a feminist concern for difference. This path leads
back to the Vectors Lab and its ongoing efforts at the intersection
of theory and praxis.
