A Project Arclight talk - Digital Humanities: From Speculative To Skeptical

Presented by Media History Research Centre, Digital Humanities: From Speculative To Skeptical is Project Arclight "skeptical talk" led by Johanna Drucker, the Breslauer Professor of Bibliographical Studies in the Department of Information Studies at UCLA.

The challenge to Digital Humanities as a field is whether or not any of this activity has had an intellectual impact on any specific field or discipline. This skeptical talk looks at the methodological foundations of Digital Humanities, its development, and accomplishments, but poses a series of questions about what the future should or might look like, and whether there is an intellectual future for this field.
