Q : 1 Define Digital Humanities?
At its core digital humanities is more akin to a common methodological outlook than an investment in any one specific set of texts or even research, arguing, competing, and collaborating for many years. A c
The digital humanities, also known as humanities computing, is a field of study, research, teaching, and invention concerned with the intersection of computing and the disciplines of the humanities. It is methodological by nature and interdisciplinary in scope. It involves investigation, analysis, synthesis and presentation of information in electronic form. It studies how these media affect the disciplines in which they are used, and what these disciplines have to contribute to our knowledge of computing.
Q : 2 what is it doing in English Departments?
First, after numeric input, text has been by far the most tractable data type for computers to manipulate. Unlike images, audio, Video, and so on, there is a long tradition of text -based data processing that was within the capabilities of even some of the earliest computer systems and that has for decades fed research in fields like stylistics, linguistics, and author attribution studies, all heavily associated with English departments.
Second , of course, there is the long association between computer and composition, almost as long and just as rich in its lineage.
Third is the pitch -perfect convergence between the intense conversation around editorial theory and mathod in the 1980s and the widespread means to implement electronic archives and editions very soon after; Jerome McGann is a key figure here, with his work on the Rossetti Archive, which he has repeatedly describe as a vehicle for applied theory, standing as paradigmatic.
