Rooted in the day-to-day experience of teaching and written for
those without specialist technical knowledge, this is a new edition
of the go-to guide to using digital tools and resources in the
humanities classroom. In response to the rapidly changing nature of
the field, this new edition has been updated throughout and now
features: - A brand-new Preface accounting for new developments in
the broader field of DH pedagogy - New chapters on 'Collaborating'
and on 'Teaching in a Digital Classroom' - New sections on
collaborating with other teachers; teaching students with learning
differences; explaining the benefits of digital pedagogy to your
students; and advising graduate students about the technologies
they need to master - New 'advanced activities' and 'advanced
assignment' sections (including bots, vlogging, crowd-sourcing,
digital storytelling, web scraping, critical making, automatic text
generation, and digital media art) - Expanded chapter
bibliographies and over two dozen tables offering practical advice
on choosing software programs Accompanied by a streamlined
companion website, which has been entirely redesigned to answer
commonly asked questions quickly and clearly, this is essential
reading for anyone looking to incorporate digital tools and
resources into their daily teaching.
Humans at Work in the Digital Age explores the roots of
twenty-first-century cultures of digital textual labor, mapping the
diverse physical and cognitive acts involved, and recovering the
invisible workers and work that support digital technologies.
Drawing on 14 case studies organized around four sites of work,
this book shows how definitions of labor have been influenced by
the digital technologies that employees use to produce, interpret,
or process text. Incorporating methodology and theory from a range
of disciplines and highlighting labor issues related to topics as
diverse as census tabulation, market research, electronic games,
digital archives, and 3D modeling, contributors uncover the roles
played by race, class, gender, sexuality, and national politics in
determining how narratives of digital labor are constructed and
erased. Because each chapter is centered on the human cost of
digital technologies, however, it is individual people immersed in
cultures of technology who are the focus of the volume, rather than
the technologies themselves. Humans at Work in the Digital Age
shows how humanistic inquiry can be a valuable tool in the emerging
conversation surrounding digital textual labor. As such, this book
will be essential reading for academics and postgraduate students
engaged in the study of digital humanities; human-computer
interaction; digital culture and social justice; race, class,
gender, and sexuality in digital realms; the economics of the
internet; and technology in higher education.
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.

collaborative projects and groupwork, new features of the second
edition include: - A brand-new Preface - New chapters on 'Crafting
Your DH Pedagogical Philosophy' and 'DH Beyond the Classroom' - New
