2. Digital humanities (DH) is an area of scholarly
activity at the intersection
of computing or digital technologies and the
disciplines of the humanities. It includes the
systematic use of digital resources in
the humanities, as well as the analysis of their
application.
It brings digital tools and
methods to the study of the
humanities with the
recognition that the printed
word is no longer the main
medium for knowledge
What is Digital Humanities ?
3. People who say that the last battles of the computer
revolution in English departments have been
fought and won don’t know what they’re talking about. If our
current use of computers in English
studies is marked by any common theme at all, it is
experimentation at the most basic level. As a pro-
fession, we are just learning how to live with computers, just
beginning to integrate these machines
effectively into writing- and reading-intensive courses, just
starting to consider the implications of the
multilayered literacy associated with computers.
