Advancing Digital Humanities: Research, Methods, Theories

by Katherine Bode (Editor), P. Arthur (Editor)

Advancing Digital Humanities moves beyond definition of this dynamic and fast-growing field to show how its arguments, analyses, findings, and theories are pioneering new directions in the humanities globally. Contributions cover digital methods, critical curation, and research futures, with theoretical and practical chapters framed around key areas of activity, including modelling collections, data-driven analysis, and thinking through building. These are linked through the concept of 'ambitious generosity', a way of working to pursue large-scale research questions while supporting and enabling other research areas and approaches, both within and beyond the academy.

It's such a broad spectrum!

Takeaway thoughts:

The info on Harlequin Romances was fascinating. But what does it really tell us about people?

The call for better tools is appropriate.

The chapter on authorship is encouraging in some matters and disappointing in others.
