This article highlights three large uncertainties of the Micha Cardenas about the digital humanities: is queer new media rare or is analysis of it rare, if there is something "conservative, even sellable" that is present in the digital humanities, and can queer theory, new media, or the digital humanities "disturb hegemonic systems." Although the article does not answer any of these questions, it discusses the history of Queer Theory as "hip, trendy," and its potential reflection in the digital humanities. These questions also arise out of a concern that discussions in digital humanities, particularly CCS, "can run down a road that is very conservative."

The main topic of this article is criticism. Alan Liu posses the question where is cultural criticism and dies it even exist. Three ideas surround this: digital humanists have not created an effective critical discourse around their work, more rubrics need to be established and because of the uniqueness of the field a new kind of peer review should be utilized.

The author of this sort insert critiques Steven Marinos article entitled Literature is Not Data: Against Digital Humanites. In a sarcastic way the author argues against what Marino is saying he believes that Literature can be used is as Data ans suggest that everyone who is apart of the Humanites has encounter the same obstacles with people who love to read books. Reading books online does not take away the credibility of the work and Marino overlooks this issue.
