Book Description
"Alternative Historiographies of the Digital Humanities examines the process of history in the narrative of the digital humanities and deconstructs its history as a straight line from the beginnings of humanities computing. By discussing alternatives histories of the digital humanities that address queer gaming, feminist game studies praxis, Cold War military-industrial complex computation, the creation of the environmental humanities, monolingual discontent in DH, the hidden history of DH in English studies, radical media praxis, cultural studies and DH, indigenous futurities, Pacific Rim post-colonial DH, the issue of scale and DH, the radical, indigenous, feminist histories of the digital database, and the possibilities for an antifascist DH, this collection hopes to re-set discussions of the DH straight, white origin myths. Thus, this collection hopes to reexamine the silences in such a straight and white masculinist history and how power comes into play to shape this straight, white DH narrative."--Page 4 of cover

Humanidades Digitales: recepción, institucionalización y crítica
Author: Isabel Galina Russell
Publisher: Bonilla Artigas Editores
ISBN: 6078560654
Category : Education
Languages : es
Pages : 106
Book Description
El crecimiento de las humanidades digitales en los últimos 10 años es incuestionable, como se puede ver en el incremento de miembros de la Red de Humanidades Digitales, así como en la cantidad de actividades académicas que se organizan todos los años al respecto. Sin embargo, entre los problemas identificados desde el inicio de la RedHD se encuentran la falta de literatura en español, la invisibilidad del trabajo que se realiza en latitudes en donde el idioma no es el inglés y la necesidad urgente de publicaciones formales que aborden las Humanidades Digitales desde otras perspectivas. Con este libro – Humanidades Digitales: Recepción, institucionalización y crítica– abrimos un proyecto de publicación que tiene como objetivo sumar voces y experiencias a la discusión global sobre éstas; enriqueciendo y añadiendo el entretejido de este campo en pleno crecimiento. Presentamos seis capítulos de distintos autores quienes abordan temas relacionados con el papel de las Humanidades Digitales en diversos contextos institucionales y culturales. Con este primer volumen hacemos una modesta contribución hacia el ideal de presentar y representar un universo más amplio del trabajo y las ideas de Humanidades Digitales. Esperamos que este libro interese tanto a los expertos como a los que apenas se inician en este campo y que sirva como testimonio del trabajo realizado en otras regiones.

Analytic Activism
Author: David Karpf
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190266155
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Among the ways that digital media has transformed political activism, the most remarkable is not that new media allows disorganized masses to speak, but that it enables organized activist groups to listen. Beneath the waves of e-petitions, "likes," and hashtags lies a sea of data - a newly quantified form of supporter sentiment - and advocacy organizations can now utilize new tools to measure this data to make decisions and shape campaigns. In this book, David Karpf discusses the power and potential of this new "analytic activism," exploring the organizational and media logics that determine how digital inputs shape the choices that political campaigners make. He provides the first careful analysis of how organizations like Change.org and Upworthy.com influence the types of political narratives that dominate our Facebook newsfeeds and Twitter timelines, and how MoveOn.org and its "netroots" peers use analytics to listen more effectively to their members and supporters. As well, he identifies the boundaries that define the scope of this new style of organized citizen engagement. But also raising a note of caution, Karpf identifies the dangers and limitations in putting too much faith in these new forms of organized listening.

I-Docs
Author: Judith Aston
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231851073
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
The history of documentary has been one of adaptation and change, as docu-mentarists have harnessed the affordances of emerging technology. In the last decade interactive documentaries (i-docs) have become established as a new field of practice within non-fiction storytelling. Their various incarnations are now a focus at leading film festivals (IDFA DocLab, Tribeca Storyscapes, Sheffield DocFest), major international awards have been won, and they are increasingly the subject of academic study. This anthology looks at the creative practices, purposes and ethics that lie behind these emergent forms. Expert contributions, case studies and interviews with major figures in the field address the production processes that lie behind interactive documentary, as well as the political, cultural and geographic contexts in which they are emerging and the media ecology that supports them. Taking a broad view of interactive documentary as any work which engages with 'the real' by employing digital interactive technology, this volume addresses a range of platforms and environments, from web-docs and virtual reality to mobile media and live performance. It thus explores the challenges that face interactive documentary practitioners and scholars, and proposes new ways of producing and engaging with interactive factual content.

World Anthropologies
Author: Gustavo Lins Ribeiro
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000184498
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
