What is Digital Humanities

UCL Centre for Digital Humanities ldquoat the intersection of digital technologies and humanitiesrdquo httpwwwuclacukdh

UCLA DH ldquointerprets the cultural and social impact of new media and information technologiesmdashthe fundamental components of the new information agemdashas well as creates and applies these technologies to answer cultural social historical and philological questions both those traditionally conceived and those only enabled by new technologiesrdquo httpwwwcdhuclaeduaboutwhat-ishtml

Digital Humanities self defined

Digital Humanities is selfdefined

A Survey of Digital Humanities Centers in the USA

Where new media and technologies are used for humanities-based research teaching and intellectual engagement and experimentation The goals of the center are to further humanities scholarship create new forms of knowledge and explore technologyrsquos impact on humanities based disciplines

builds digital collections as scholarly or teaching resources

creates tools for authoring (ie creating multimedia products and applications with minimal technical knowledge or training)

building digital collections

analyzing humanities collections data or research processes

managing the research process

departments uses digital collections and analytical tools to generate new intellectual products

offers digital humanities training

conducts research in humanities and humanities computing (digital scholarship)

offers lectures programs conferences or seminars on digital humanities topics for general or academic audiences

has its own academic appointments and staffing

creates a zone of experimentation and innovation for humanists

serves as an information portal for a particular humanities discipline

serves as a repository for humanities-based digital collections

provides technology solutions to humanities

Typical DH centres ltgtHASTAC

Resource focused Centers are organized around a primary resource located in a virtual space that serves a specific group of members All programs and products flow from the resource and individual and organizational members help sustain the resource by providing content and in some instances volunteer labor

Center focused Centers are organized around a physical location with many diverse projects programs and activities that are undertaken by faculty researchers and students and that offer many different resources to diverse audiences Most of the centers surveyed operate under this model

Danish Research Road Map 21 Humanities and Social Sciences Humanities and social science researchers will to an increasing extent

need robust generally available and internationally geared research infrastructures based on modern information technology The development of these new tools will significantly advance studies and interpretations of human experiences actions and decisions and thus lay the foundation for an enlightened civil society competitive business and industry and an efficient public sector

Research infrastructures that support humanities research have traditionally been libraries archives and various museum collections consisting of historical documents books and periodicals maps artefacts art and other resources dispersed across different national institutions On a smaller scale there are the university laboratories which are used in humanities research of a more experimental nature for example in linguistics communication and media research

ldquoRESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURErdquo ERIC DEFINITION Legal framework for a European Research Infrastructure Consortium ndash ERIC Practical Guidelines Research

hellipfacilities resources and related services that are used by the scientific community to conduct top-level research in their respective fields and covers major scientific equipment or sets of instruments knowledge-based resources such as collections archives or structures for scientific information enabling ICT-based infrastructures such as Grid computing software and communication or any other entity of a unique nature essential to achieve excellence in research

Such infrastructures may be ldquosingle-sitedrdquo or ldquodistributedrdquo (an organised network of resources)

Do ideas go into Infrastructure

Andrew Prescott Kingrsquos College London UK 3 most important pieces of infrastructure are the network provision through JANET the collective licensing of commercial digital packages

through JISC Collections and the NESLI2 licensing of access to online journals

issues confronting digital scholarship in the humanities are less to do with the storage and curation of data and much more to with creating models which resist the commercialisation

Virtual Distance Learning Classroom lets students congregate online in virtual reality Once scanned into the system students will be able to join other avatars in an online classroom which could look like anything from a traditional learning space to a life-size model of a Grecian theater Distance units are the same in the virtual classroom and the real world so taking a step forward on camera translates to a step of the same size online Avatars can also interact with virtual objects

in brief DIGHUMLAB is a national consortium of four Danish universities

Aalborg University Aarhus University the University of Copenhagen and the University of Southern Denmark Together with the State and University Library and the Royal Library the lab will work to promote access to digital research resources the development of research tools and education as well as strengthening ties to international networks

The Ministry of Science Innovation and Higher Education has contributed a grant of DKK 30 million to the development of the Danish Digital Humanities Laboratory (DIGHUMLAB) The establishment of DIGHUMLAB was named as a priority in the ministrys roadmap for research infrastructure in 2010 and is intended to promote research in the humanities and social sciences education and knowledge exchange by providing access to digital resources and developing new research methods and practices

httpwwwdighumlabdk

rejuvenate fields of research within the humanities and social sciences

through broad access to digital sources and research data through development of software-supported analysis methods through collaborative forms of work and new research

concepts through internationalisation of classic specialist research skills

and emerging interdisciplinary fields of research DIGHUMLAB will enhance and facilitate Digital Humanities in

Danish research thereby contributing to greater interdisciplinary cooperation widespread knowledge transfer and global orientation and increased internationalisation of both research and education

Issues

how does one create a national focus while allowing academics and other researchers to pursue their own specific goals

what are the boundaries of the Digital Humanities pertinent to our researchers beyond which we should not tread

how to focus on key research areas without becoming cut off from international networks

how can one develop an infrastructure five years ahead based on catering for technology that we are not yet using

how can a distributed network allow for unified identity and individual planning

which resources are best managed centrally or distributed how one create a centre for something that has no physical

centre unifying traditionally disparate and skeptical disciplines without restricting them or discriminating between them

Questions I asked DH scholars

How can DH re-examine Humanities

What is a DH community

What has value to scholars beyond 5 years

What makes for high quality DH projects

NOW which tools and services are needed

Digital Humanities-Mark Kingwell The most important skill is critical thinking We say this a lot but donrsquot do much about it Herersquos what we need

courses in informal logic so students can recognize fallacies in public discourse in economic theory since economists think they rule the world and politicians believe them and in computer programming because you canrsquot see the biases of the system unless you know how it was codedthe widespread view that technology is value-neutral inevitable and always here to help needs to be exposed as the dangerous ideology it is
