DH Futures: A conversation about archives, data, and the digital humanities |
|
||||||||
|
|||||||||
Featuring KATHERINE BODE (Australian National University) in conversation with Andrew Goldstone (Rutgers), Yohei Igarashi (UConn) and Francesca Gianetti (Rutgers). As humanities scholarship increasingly shifts from single works to larger archives, critics of literature and culture become critics of data. What are the challenges of cu- rating scholarly datasets and what are the perils of not doing so? How does the shift from text to archive alter the specifically humanistic stakes of the digital humanities? Does the scale of analysis affect ethical, aesthetic, and political perception? What can humanist data curation and data analytics contribute to understanding "Big Data" and its discontents both inside the academy and beyond it? The conversation takes off from Bode’s article, “Why You Can’t Model Away Bias,” a review essay on recent work in DH.
