Accessibility and the Digital Humanities - 6 views

  •  
    Unlike the definitional experience with Wikipedia, we are given a hands-on approach with technology influencing the humanities for a specific issue. The article describes the relationship of technology incorperated to make hindered people more accesible with the general activity of reading and the role Digital Humanities plays in intrepurting this interaction. This is a more specialized and focus area for the study but the approach is more practical than theorized.

Examples of Spatial Humanites Projects - 4 views

  •  
    This article is one of my favorites! Ms. Knowles chose to ask a question that could not be aswered....until they found a way by means of digital humanities. The questions was simply this, "What could General Grant see in his view at Gettysburg?" This question sparked a menas to find an answer by digitally mapping the terrain at the time on the battle in coordination with Grant's height/ location. This success led to a Project wtih Knowles and Paul Jaskot concerning the concentration camp, Auschwitz, and another similar project done about the Salem Witch Trials by Benjamin Ray. Such great research and visual representations.

    Anne Kelly Knowles, a geographer at Middlebury College in Vermont, posed a simple question that could not be accurately answered before: What could the confederate general Robert E. Lee actually see during the battle of Gettysburrg. In order to answer this question Ms. Knowles team began by creating a digital map of the areas topography at the time of the battle. Then, the group as whole began to replicate the view Lee would have had by generating what is known as a viewshed from a point 75feeet above the terrain the distance from the ground to the cupid floor plus Lee's eye level standing in his.

centerNet - 1 views

  •  
    centerNet defines itself as an "International Network of Digital Humanities Centers." It has added over 200 members from about 100 centers in 19 countries since its foundation in 2007. Basically, they're attempting to centralize all of Digital Humanities into a single vast network. They aim to be inclusive and avoid defining digital humanities concretely. Instead, they only suggest that "a "center" should be larger than a single project, and it should have some history or promise of persistence." The projects can be found by a keyword search, by region, or by clicking on an interactive GoogleMap. The network isn't as flooded as you think; only 200 entries exist on the site as of today, but each one is of very high quality.

Digital Metaphors in Chatonsky's The Subnetwork - 0 views

  •  
    I linked this page from ADHO. It is a descriptive article of Gregory Chatonsky's project (?), The Subnetwork. A majority of the article focuses on the abstract relationships that Chatonsky uses to connect many aspects of his work, including participants' interaction (passive and active), animation, and general presentation of the work. It also notes that Chatonsky use of 'metaphor' goes beyond the accepted academic definition of the term, and uses it as an active 'member' or 'tool' to connect the text/concept to the presentation.
