Electronic Literature as Digital Humanities: Contexts, Forms &
Practices is a volume of essays that provides a detailed account of
born-digital literature by artists and scholars who have
contributed to its birth and evolution. Rather than offering a
prescriptive definition of electronic literature, this book takes
an ontological approach through descriptive exploration, treating
electronic literature from the perspective of the digital
humanities (DH)--that is, as an area of scholarship and practice
that exists at the juncture between the literary and the
algorithmic. The domain of DH is typically segmented into the two
seemingly disparate strands of criticism and building, with
scholars either studying the synthesis between cultural expression
and screens or the use of technology to make artifacts in
themselves. This book regards electronic literature as
fundamentally DH in that it synthesizes these two constituents.
Electronic Literature as Digital Humanities provides a context for
the development of the field, informed by the forms and practices
that have emerged throughout the DH moment, and finally, offers
resources for others interested in learning more about electronic
literature.
Technology in Irish Literature and Culture shows how such
significant technologies-typewriters, gramophones, print, radio,
television, computers-have influenced Irish literary practices and
cultural production, while also examining how technology has been
embraced as a theme in Irish writing. Once a largely rural and
agrarian society, contemporary Ireland has embraced the
communicative, performative and consumption habits of a culture
utterly reliant on the digital. This text plumbs the origins of the
present moment, examining the longer history of literature's
interactions with the technological and exploring how the
transformative capacity of modern technology has been mediated
throughout a diverse national canon. Comprising essays from some of
the major figures of Irish literary and cultural studies, this
volume offers a wide-ranging, comprehensive account of how Irish
literature and culture have interacted with technology.
This book uses the discipline-specific, computational methods of
the digital humanities to explore a constellation of rigorous case
studies of modernist literature. From data mining and visualization
to mapping and tool building and beyond, the digital humanities
offer new ways for scholars to questions of literature and culture.
With the publication of a variety of volumes that define and debate
the digital humanities, we now have the opportunity to focus
attention on specific periods and movements in literary history.
Each of the case studies in this book emphasizes literary
interpretation and engages with histories of textuality and new
media, rather than dwelling on technical minutiae. Reading
Modernism with Machines thereby intervenes critically in ongoing
debates within modernist studies, while also exploring exciting new
directions for the digital humanities-ultimately reflecting on the
conjunctions and disjunctions between the technological cultures of
the modernist era and our own digital present.
The Bloomsbury Handbook to the Digital Humanities reconsiders key
debates, methods, possibilities, and failings from across the
digital humanities, offering a timely interrogation of the present
and future of the arts and humanities in the digital age.
Comprising 43 essays from some of the field's leading scholars and
practitioners, this comprehensive collection examines, among its
many subjects, the emergence and ongoing development of DH,
postcolonial digital humanities, feminist digital humanities, race
and DH, multilingual digital humanities, media studies as DH, the
failings of DH, critical digital humanities, the future of text
encoding, cultural analytics, natural language processing, open
access and digital publishing, digital cultural heritage, archiving
and editing, sustainability, DH pedagogy, labour, artificial
intelligence, the cultural economy, and the role of the digital
humanities in climate change. The Bloomsbury Handbook to the
Digital Humanities: Surveys key contemporary debates within DH,
focusing on pressing issues of perspective, methodology, access,
capacity, and sustainability. Reconsiders and reimagines the past,
present, and future of the digital humanities. Features an
intuitive structure which divides topics across five sections:
"Perspectives & Polemics", "Methods, Tools & Techniques",
"Public Digital Humanities", "Institutional Contexts", and "DH
Futures". Comprehensive in scope and accessibility written, this
book is essential reading for students, scholars, and practitioners
working across the digital humanities and wider arts and
humanities. Featuring contributions from pre-eminent scholars and
radical thinkers both established and emerging, The Bloomsbury
Handbook to the Digital Humanities should long serve as a roadmap
through the myriad formulations, methodologies, opportunities, and
limitations of DH. Comprehensive in its scope, pithy in style yet
forensic in its scholarship, this book is essential reading for
students, scholars, and practitioners working across the digital
humanities, whatever DH might be, and whatever DH might become.
We live in an age where language and screens continue to collide
for creative purposes, giving rise to new forms of digital
literatures and literary video games. Towards a Digital Poetics
explores this relationship between word and computer, querying what
it is that makes contemporary fictions like Dear Esther and All the
Delicate Duplicates-both ludic and literary-different from their
print-based predecessors.
