Ordinary Digital Humanities: Video of symposium with Lesley Gourlay, Grace Halden and Tim Markham

Ordinary Digital Humanities: Video of symposium with Lesley Gourlay, Grace Halden and Tim Markham | Box of delight | Scoop.it

An edited video is now available for the ‘Ordinary Digital Humanities’ symposium that I organised during Birkbeck Arts Week in mid-May 2017. The event asked what might it mean to think about the digital humanities as ordinary, and focused on the implications of digitisation at the level of everyday academic life – beyond, or perhaps prior to, the ‘cutting edge’. In opens with a presentation by Dr Lesley Gourlay (UCL Institute of Education) on ‘Flickering texts and the writing body: Posthuman perspectives on the digital university’, followed by responses from Birkbeck’s Dr Grace Halden and Professor Tim Markham. The symposium was hosted by Satellite (website forthcoming), a working group in Birkbeck’s School of Arts focused on the critical, creative, academic and pedagogical dimensions of learning technologies.

Big Data and Digital Humanities: From social computing to the challenges of connected culture | CCCB LAB

Big Data and Digital Humanities: From social computing to the challenges of connected culture | CCCB LAB | Box of delight | Scoop.it

Big Data is the new medium of the second decade of the twenty-first century: a new set of computing technologies that, like the ones that preceded it, is changing the way in which we access reality. Now that the Social Web has become the new laboratory for cultural production, the Digital Humanities are focusing on analysing the production and distribution of cultural products on a mass scale, in order to participate in designing and questioning the means that have made it possible. As such, their approach has shifted to looking at how culture is produced and distributed, and this brings them up against the challenges of a new connected culture.
