*Digital Humanities: Knowledge and Critique in a Digital Age *


David M. Berry,

As the twenty-first century  unfolds, computers challenge the way in 
which  we think about culture, society and what it is  to be human: 
areas traditionally explored by  the humanities.

In a world of automation, Big  Data, algorithms, Google searches, 
digital  archives, real-time streams and social networks,  our use of 
culture has been  changing dramatically. The digital humanities give  us 
powerful theories, methods and tools  for exploring new ways of being in 
a digital  age. Berry and Fagerjord provide a  compelling guide, 
exploring the history, intellectual  work, key arguments and ideas of 
this  emerging discipline. They also offer an  important critique, 
suggesting ways in which  the humanities can be enriched  through 
computing, but also how cultural critique  can transform the digital 
humanities.

/Digital Humanities/ will be an essential  book for students and 
researchers in this new  field but also related areas, such as media and 
communications, digital media,  sociology, informatics, and the 
humanities  more widely.
