Digital humanities: centres and peripheries

"This paper explores a history of humanities computing over the past decade as embodied in or represented by 'A Companion to Digital Humanities' (first published in 2004), methodologically, theoretically, and in terms of community practice. It explores digital humanities as an emerging discipline through changes in technology, as well as through evolving conceptions of the field, particularly through the lens of literary studies and new media. The article also explores how the field' s major conference Digital Humanities, but previously titled the Joint International Conference of the Association for Computers and the Humanities and the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ACH/ ALLC), reflects these changes, through not only the themes presented in conference papers, but in the change of the title of the conference itself."

3D Digital Scholarly Editions:The Text as Object

Digital scholarly editions have a long history in the area of digital scholarship. While the idea of treating a 3D model as the “text” of a digital scholarly edition is novel, it has the potential to re-imagine the role of these models within the scholarly ecosystem. Publishing 3D models as the central node within a scholarly knowledge site that includes apparatus, annotation, and paradata within an unbounded digital space, provides a new environment for 3D models to be studied within

Editorial Introduction to Issue 7 of the Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative

This is one of the smallest issues of the Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative, but its size belies its importance. This is the first issue of the Journal that had an open call for papers. Up to now, issues were either selected papers from the TEI conference (issues 1,2 4, and 6) or issues on a theme (issue 3: TEI and Linguistics and issue 5: TEI Infrastructures). This open call elicited articles that touch upon contemporary meta concerns within the community; evaluating and teach..

Other Edens

Other Edens is a long overdue retrospective on the life, work, and friendships of the poet and literary critic, Brian Coffey. Within an Irish context, Coffey’s work has typically been evaluated alongside that of his contemporaries, Denis Devlin and Samuel Beckett. Along with the slightly older Thomas MacGreevy, they have been labeled (or as more contemporary critics would have it, mislabeled) the Irish modernists. Keatinge and Woods, in their exemplary introduction, offer several reasons why ..

Editorial Introduction to the First Issue

On behalf of the Board of the Text Encoding Initiative and my co-editors, Markus Flatscher and Kevin Hawkins, I am delighted to announce the publication of the inaugural issue of the Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative. This Journal has been nearly three years in the making. It was a natural outgrowth of the expansion of the yearly members meeting into a conference format (beginning in 2007 with the University of Maryland meeting) that regularly attracts over 100 participants. It was felt..

Beyond Infrastructure -- Modelling Scholarly Research and Collaboration

International audienceThis paper explores what is needed to foster an acceptance of digital practices in the humanities beyond the creation of pure infrastructure, specifically in terms of understanding and technically modelling traditional scholarly research within a digital medium while enabling new modes of scholarly work that could only be carried out within a digitally-mediated environment
