Surfing the web, algorithmic criticism and Digital Humanities

Author(s): Favro, DianeKomar, KathleenPresner, ToddWendrich, Willeke

Abstract

The interviewees address the fear of ‘derailment’ on the digital highway, the ‘lack of deep thinking’ among their students and the worry of humanists (and especially the ‘old folks’) to be devalued as thinkers by technological advances. They speak about the pluriformism of the Digital Humanities movement, about visualized thinking and collaborative theorization, about the connection between cultural criticism and Digital Humanities, they share their mixed experiences with the Digital Humanities program at UCLA, explain why most innovative work is done by tenured faculty and muse about the ideal representative of Digital Humanities.
