THE DIGITAL HUMANITIES: BEYOND COMPUTING
edited by Federica Frabetti
The field of the digital humanities embraces various scholarly
activities in the humanities that involve writing about digital
media and technology as well as being engaged in digital media
production. Perhaps most notably, in what some are describing as a
'computational turn', it has seen techniques and methods drawn from
computer science being used to produce new ways of understanding and
approaching humanities texts. But just as interesting as what
computer science has to offer the humanities is the question of what
the humanities have to offer computer science. Do the humanities
really need to draw so heavily on computer science to develop their
sense of what the digital humanities might be? These are just some
of the issues that are explored in this special issue of Culture Machine.
