Book part: At the intersection of computational methods and the traditional humanities
Author(s):
Abstract
Johanna welcomes governmental regulation on the internet
against ‘neoliberal entrepreneurialism,’ rejects new
grand narratives ‘reconfigured by the pseudo-authority of
computation’ and considers the sociality of contemporary
existence an obstacle for ‘interior life,’ innovation, and
zoophilia. She compares Digital Humanities with the ‘cook in the
kitchen’ and Digital Media Studies with the ‘restaurant critic,’
sees the platform and tool development in the Humanities
as a professional, not academic track, she calls for a visual
epistemology in times of Screen culture and diagrammatic
knowledge production and she explains how to contaminate the
world of quantitative and disambiguating underpinnings with
the virtues of relativism and multi-perspectivism.
