Expanded Course Description
This course is the gateway to the English Department’s Digital Humanities Minor. The interdisciplinary field of digital humanities (DH) is concerned with the two-way relationship between digital technology and the humanities (academic disciplines that study language, literature, history, philosophy, religion, etc.). Digital tools allow humanities scholars to access, examine, and communicate about their materials in new ways and for new audiences. At the same time, critical approaches from the humanities can be used to analyze digital culture. A digital humanist could be someone who creates interactive maps of ancient cities with geolocation data, uses machine learning to discover patterns of characterization across thousands of novels, or theorizes how social media is changing representations of race in popular culture. Of course, no single course could introduce you to digital approaches in all the humanities at once! Instead, this course will focus on the relationship between literature and digital culture. How does digital technology enable innovations in the study of literary and cultural history? How might insights from literary and cultural studies be applied to better understand the possibilities, limitations, and dangers of technology? You do not need to identify as a tech whiz to succeed this class, but you must have an open mind about exploring these subjects. |
