Book part:
Opening the depths, not sliding on surfaces

Abstract

N. Katherine Hayles discusses the advantages of social and algorithmic reading and reaffirms the value of deep reading; she doubts media literacy requires media abstinence; she underlines the importance of the Humanities for ‘understanding and intervening’ in society but questions the idolized ‘rhetoric of “resistance”’ and she weights the real problems facing the Digital Humanities against unfounded fears.
