Digital Humanities can be summarized in 3 sentences: Digital Humanities is a multidisciplinary field that uses digital technologies and computational methods to study the humanities. It can be understood through three lenses: as translation using technologies like machine translation to analyze texts, as technology and how it intersects with humanistic epistemology, and as case studies of its applications in areas like the Global South. The field is growing internationally with terms like "Digital Humanities" being adopted in countries beyond the US and UK where it originated.

10. DH as technology

11. How does technology
intersect with
epistemology in DH?

13. These digital and electronic technologies are of particular importance
because they are often perceived as being neutral, without any intrinsic
ethics of their own, when they are the result of material inequalities that
play out along racial, gendered, national, and hemispheric lines. Not only
are these technologies the result of such inequity, but they also
reproduce and reinscribe that inequity through their very proliferation
and use, which is dependent upon the perpetuation of global networks of
economic and social disparity and exploitation.
Anne Cong- Huyen

14. Latin America is an ethno-
geographic concept that groups (at
least) twenty countries that suffer
from wealth inequality, the impact
of labor-saving technological
change, and the lack of adaptation
to technological advances.

16. DH as use case study
