2. In the digital humanities, then, we are most
definitely at the crossroads, and indeed, we
have been here for some time. We occupy an
intersection between humanities disciplines,
with their traditional and developing interests
and concerns, and emerging new ways of
approaching those interests and concerns, and
from this convergence new directions emerge.
(Nelson, 2014)

12. The operating mechanism can even be thrown into action
independently of any object to operate upon (although of
course no result could then be developed). Again, it might act
upon other things besides number, were objects found
whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by
those of the abstract science of operations, and which should
be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the
operating notation and mechanism of the engine. Supposing,
for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds
in the science of harmony and of musical composition were
susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine
might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of
any degree of complexity or extent (Lovelace en Menabrea,
1842).

16. We define humanities as broadly as possible. Our
interests include literature of all times and countries,
music, the visual arts, folklore, the non-mathematical
aspects of linguistics, and all phases of the social
sciences that stress the humane. When, for example, the
archaeologist is concerned with fine arts of the past,
when the sociologist studies the non-material facets of
culture, when the linguist analyzes poetry, we may define
their intentions as humanistic; if they employ computers,
we wish to encourage them and to learn from them.

Humanities, 1966: 1).

18. A Companion to Digital Humanities

19. The real origin of that term [digital humanities] was in
conversation with Andrew McNeillie. […] Ray [Siemens]
wanted “A Companion to Humanities Computing” as that
was the term commonly used at that point; the editorial
and marketing folks at Blackwell wanted “Companion to
Digitized Humanities.” I suggested “Companion to Digital
Humanities” to shift the emphasis away from simple
digitization.
(Kirschenbaum, What is Digital Humanities…)

20. Hayles, N. K. (2011) How We Think: Transforming Power and Digital Technologies, in
Berry, D. M. (ed.) Understanding the Digital Humanities.
(…) changing to the term ‘“Digital Humanities”
was meant to signal that the field had emerged
from the low-prestige status of a support service
into a genuinely intellectual endeavour with its
own professional practices, rigorous standards,
and exciting theoretical explorations’.

• Liu, Alan, 2012. “Where is cultural criticism in the
Digital Humanities?” Debates in the Digital
Humanities .
http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/debates/text/20
Beyond acting in an instrumental role, the digital humanities can
most profoundly advocate for the humanities by helping to
broaden the very idea of instrumentalism, technological, and
otherwise. This could be its unique contribution to cultural
criticism

31. Indeed, I think that we need to further explore both
first and second wave digital humanities, but also start
to map out a tentative path for a third wave of digital
humanities, concentrated focus around the
underlying computationality of the forms held within a
computational medium (I call this the computational
turn in the Arts and Humanities)

“Do you have to know how to code? …I say ‘yes.’ …Personally, I
think Digital Humanities is about building things. I’m willing to
entertain highly expansive definitions of what it means to build
something…. If you are not making anything, you are not …a
digital humanist”

36. I don’t know exactly how it happened (I suspect the creation of
the Office of Digital Humanities at neh played a role), but at
some point “digital humanities” broke free of its status as a
community label, and became a signifier both for a very broad
constellation of scholarly endeavors, and for a certain
revolutionary disposition that had overtaken the academy.
Media studies practitioners were digital humanists; people who
had devoted several decades to digital pedagogy were digital
humanists; cultural critics who were interested in Internet
culture were digital humanists (…) (Ramsay, 2012)

82. A digital humanities center is an entity where new media and technologies are used
for humanities-based research, teaching, and intellectual engagement and
experimentation. The goals of the center are to further humanities scholarship, create
new forms of knowledge, and explore technology’s impact on humanities
based disciplines".
