Digital Humanities

Vandaag een intrigerend overzicht van wat ‘Digital Humanities’ is op basis van een seminar hierover bij de Columbia University in april 2011. Volgens de bijgevoegde tekst gaat het seminar over het volgende:

‘Digital humanities scholars are a diverse group whose work is the result of cross-pollination among humanities scholarship, computer science, and digital media. Many well-known digital humanities projects apply tools borrowed from computer science—such as data-mining or geographic information systems—to works of literature, historical documents, and other materials traditionally in the domain of the humanities.

What do digital humanities scholars see as the potential of this interdisciplinary field?

And what are the important theoretical and methodological contributions digital humanities can offer to both the humanities and the sciences ?

Panelists: Daniel J. Cohen, Assoc. Professor of History and Director of the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University.

Federica Frabetti, Senior Lecturer in the Communication, Media, and Culture Program at Oxford Brookes University.

Dino Buzzetti recently retired from the Dept. of Philosophy at the University of Bologna’.

Een interessant uitstapje naar een multidisciplinair domein. Het duurt ongeveer 2 uren. Dat is een hele zit, maar het is absoluut de moeite waard!
