Description

The digital humanities offer powerful theories and methods for exploring our changing relationship with culture in the digital age. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the history and intellectual work of this emerging field, as well as an important critique of its potential and limitations. David M. Berry and Anders Fagerjord examine how computing is transforming our understanding of society and human experience, and how the humanities can be enriched through this process. They discuss key arguments and ideas in the digital humanities, and suggest ways in which cultural critique can inform and transform this field. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in the digital humanities, as well as those working in related fields such as media and communications, sociology, and informatics.
