Какво е дигитална хуманитаристика и какво е нейното място в департаментите по английски език и литература?
What Is Digital Humanities and What’s It Doing in English Departments?

Summary/Abstract: The author states that digital humanities is more akin to a common methodological outlook than an investment in any one specific set of texts or even technologies. He says that we could attempt to refine this “outlook” quantitatively, using some of the very tools and techniques digital humanities has pioneered, or could choose to explore the question qualitatively, by examining sets of projects from self-identified digital humanities centers. M. Kirschenbaum insists that digital humanities is also a social undertaking. It harbors networks of people who have been working together, sharing research, arguing, competing, and collaborating for many years. He points out half a dozen reasons why English departments have historically been hospitable settings for this kind of work and emphasizes that digital humanities, which began as a term of consensus among a relatively small group of researchers, is now backed on a growing number of campuses by a level of funding, infrastructure, and administrative commitments that would have been unthinkable even a decade ago.
