DIGITAL PRAXIS IN THE HUMANITIES: A DH@YALE CONVERSATION SERIES

ARCHIVING

Panelists: Christina Boyles (Michigan State University), Norah Karrouche (Free University of Amsterdam)
Respondent: Michael Faciejew (Yale)

Digital tools and praxis have reshaped the humanities. For decades, access to new data has challenged established methods, canons, and scope, and new digital tools have reconfigured cultural and historical interpretation. Yet some critics still look upon the “digital humanities” with skepticism.

In this series of conversations, leading DH scholars speak about how the digital reorganization of scholarship has triggered new research questions and outcomes. Centering four main practices—editing, archiving, mapping, databasing—these conversations highlight how digital projects begin, how their conclusions intersect with current critical discourses, and how their methods transform what it means to work in the humanities.
