Debates in the Digital Humanities
"Is there such a thing as ‘digital’ humanities? From statistical crunches of texts to new forms of online collaboration and peer review, it’s clear something is happening. This book is an excellent primer on the arguments over just how much is changing—and how much more ought to—in the way scholars study the humanities." —Clive Thompson, columnist forWiredand contributing writer for theNew York Times Magazine "I look forward to the day when anxieties about the disruptive nature of ‘digital humanities’ fade into memory and the innovative methods, theories, and approaches championed by those who have contributed to this valuable volume are respected across academia for their rigor and utility. This book will go a long way toward clarifying the debates within and about digital humanities." —Siva Vaidhyanathan, author ofThe Googlization of Everything—and Why We Should Worry"ThoughDebates in the Digital Humanitiesis well over 500  pages in length, there is no fat in it; all essays contain important  information and concepts relating to DH.  Taken together, the book as a  whole and every essay in it is a must-read for anyone who claims to be a  digital humanist whether she or he works in theory, pedagogy, and/or  practice." —Leonardo Reviews"A substantial collection . . . [whose] contributors include most of the  scholars who have been most prominent in the emergence of digital  humanities over the past few years." —Times Literary Supplement
