Abstract

Berry and Fagerjord propose to debate the genealogies of the Digital Humanities (DH) from the transition from "computing in the humanities" to the so-called "digital humanities". The book unfolds in dynamic argumentations from the multiplicity of authorial voices that will constitute the mapping, in order to foster epistemic and methodological criticality about DH, but also in relation to the practical issues of the field and the development of computing tooling.
