Digital Humanities by David M Berry
As the twenty-first century unfolds, computers continue to change the way we think about culture, society and what it is to be human: areas traditionally explored by the humanities. In a world of Big Data, Google Books, digital archives, real-time streaming systems and smart phones, our use of culture has been changing dramatically."This important book addresses significant questions about the role of digital humanities in scholarship todayConcise and comprehensive, it is essential reading and a major addition to the emerging critical appraisal of the field."
Lorna Hughes, University of Glasgow
"This is a compelling and exciting analysis of the ways in which the encounter between the humanities and computers is reshaping and remediating our shared cultural and intellectual world. David Berry and Anders Fagerjord present an inspiring manifesto for a pluralistic and critical digital humanities and provide an essential roadmap for anyone seeking to understand our emerging digital cultures."
Andrew Prescott, University of Glasgow
"This book covers excellent ground. It draws together and analyses developments and critical moments in the growth of Digital Humanities in ways that clearly show their importance and impact."
Kathryn Eccles, University of Oxford
"As a clearly articulated, accurate, and concisely critical introduction, this book is exemplary. … I would recommend this volume to any newcomer who wanted a fair and true institutional history of the digital humanities. … a benignly deceptive introductory overview that also serves as a guiding critical compass for the future of the digital humanities."
