On commence donc par les Digitals Humanities, avec la figure du père Roberto Busa. On peut en effet dire que la naissance des Digital Humanities correspond à la rencontre, à la fin des années 40, entre la Scolastique et IBM ; entre un jésuite féru de Saint Thomas d’Aquin et un autre Thomas : Thomas J. Watson, un des fondateurs d’IBM (International Business Machines).

A Look at the Reading Habits of E-Reader Owners - WSJ.com - 0 views
-
A study of 1,200 e-reader owners by Marketing and Research Resources Inc. found that 40% said they now read more than they did with print books. Of those surveyed, 58% said they read about the same as before while 2% said they read less than before.

Some 11 million Americans are expected to own at least one digital reading gadget by the end of September, estimates Forrester Research. U.S. e-book sales grew 183% in the first half of this year compared with the year-earlier period, according to the Association of American Publishers.

Amazon, the biggest seller of e-books, says its customers buy 3.3 times as many books after buying a Kindle

because e-book gadgets are portable, people report they're reading more and at times when a book isn't normally an option: on a smartphone in the doctor's waiting room; through a Ziploc-bag-clad Kindle in a hot tub, or on a treadmill with a Sony Reader's fonts set to jumbo.

Mystery and thriller author Michael Connelly says he has about 30 e-books on his Kindle, Sony Reader and iPad
-
Compared with print, iPad readers were 6.2% slower and Kindle readers were 10.7% slower, though the difference between the iPad and Kindle results wasn't statistically significant
-
In creating the Kindle, Jeff Bezos, Amazon's chief executive, says he set out to develop technology that could encourage long-form reading, instead of just snippets.

men are bigger consumers of e-books than women by a narrow margin. Among e-book buyers, 52% were men compared with 48% for women—a reversal of print books, where women buy more. E-reader users also say that 52% of their e-books were ones they purchased, while 48% of their e-books were free because they were sample giveaways or out-of-copyright.

Pages may be antiquated, but they're very helpful for making sure reading-club participants or students in a classroom are all on the same page. No page numbers also means there's no skipping ahead to sneak a peek at a page near the end of a book. Most e-readers have tried to replace page numbers by showing the percentage of the book read.

La fonction architecturante du livre » Article » OWNI, Digital Journalism - 2 views
-
Nous pouvons penser le livre papier comme un lieu aménageable et fermé. Une maison par exemple. Ou un petit jardin. Ou une imposante église. Ou une scène de théâtre. Cela dépend évidemment du livre que l’on a à l’esprit. Si l’on suit cette métaphore, la fonction d’un livre papier serait d’organiser dans l’espace un ensemble de documents textuels et graphiques et ainsi de présenter à ses lecteurs la mise en scène d’un système de pensée. L’auteur du livre joue le rôle de l’architecte. Il compose, dispose, bref, aménage le lieu.

Intéressant comme est ici condensé un imaginaire américain de la lettre. A remarquer que cet attachement au livre et à la chose écrite ne se double d'aucun intellectualisme, au contraire. La situation française est bien différentes et à plusieurs égards opposée. Au point qu'on peut se demander si la crise de la culture française ne s'explique pas, en partie et à ce niveau, par une contradiction entre ses éléments structurants et ceux de la culture américaine telle qu'elle est transmise par les médias de la culture populaire, cinéma et télévision au premier chef.

This new platform is very visual, and it is gradually merging words with moving images

it seemed weird five centuries ago to see someone read silently
-
Propaganda is less effective in a world of screens, because while misinformation travels fast, corrections do, too.
-
In books we find a revealed truth; on the screen we assemble our own truth from pieces
-
On networked screens everything is linked to everything else.

Ici le coeur de la contradiction chez Kelly: la révolution numérique est appréhendée depuis le paradigme américain pré-révolution numérique qui oppose autorité et individualisme. Or la RN redistribue ici (peut-être plus qu'ailleurs) les cartes en contestant, en même temps que le rôle de l'autorité, l'individualisme libéral dont les historiens de la lecture ont montré qu'il s'est construit, depuis Augustin mais particulièrement à la Renaissance par le commerce singulier avec le livre.

Being able to read silently to yourself was considered an amazing talent. Writing was an even rarer skill. In 15th-century Europe only one in 20 adult males could write.

Vision technicisée et progressiste des pratiques de l'écriture, où il est assez naturel de retrouver relayé le mythe de la rareté de la lecture silencieuse dans l'Antiquité. Je crois avoir lu quelque part, et même en plusieurs endroits, que la connaissance et la pratique au moins rudimentaire de l'écriture était très répandue dans l'antiquité classique (grecque et romaine) au rebours de ce que soutient Kelly ici. Mais il s'appuie vraisemblablement sur des études sérieuses valant pour le 15e s. et dans sa vision linéaire d'un progrès fondé sur la succession des innovations techniques cela implique qu'on ne savait généralement pas écrire dans l'antiquité.Il n'est pas difficile de deviner combien une vision aussi simpliste, aussi simplement orientée de l'évolution des pratiques de la lettre est aujourd'hui, au moment où il nous faut évaluer une révolution nouvelle de ces pratiques est sinon nuisible au moins handicapante.

Les analphabètes ne seraient pas même capables de supprimer ou remplacer une syllabe entière au début ou à la fin d'un mot. D'où l'idée (VH) que l'apprentissage de la lecture doit avoir pour effet (et but) premier d'améliorer la maîtrise de la langue à l'oral. Ce qui permettra ensuite d'améliorer la pronostic d'amélioration des compétences en lecture.

Isidore, the bishop of Seville, remarked how reading “the sayings” of thinkers in books “render[ed] their escape from memory less easy.”
-
Books provide a supplement to memory, but they also, as Eco puts it, “challenge and improve memory; they do not narcotize it.”

Erasmus, in his 1512 textbook De Copia, stressed the connection between memory and reading. He urged students to annotate their books
-
He also suggested that every student and teacher keep a notebook, organized by subject, “so that whenever he lights on anything worth noting down, he may write it in the appropriate section.”
-
Memory, for Seneca as for Erasmus, was as much a crucible as a container.
-
Far from being a mechanical, mindless process, Erasmus’s brand of memorization engaged the mind fully
-
“We should imitate bees,” Seneca wrote, “and we should keep in separate compartments whatever we have collected from our diverse reading, for things conserved separately keep better. Then, diligently applying all the resources of our native talent, we should mingle all the various nectars we have tasted, and then turn them into a single sweet substance, in such a way that, even if it is apparent where it originated, it appears quite different from what it was in its original state.”
-
“a gentleman’s commonplace book” served “both as a vehicle for and a chronicle of his intellectual development.”
-
The arrival of the limitless and easily searchable data banks of the Internet brought a further shift, not just in the way we view memorization but in the way we view memory itself.

“I had thought that the magic of the information age was that it allowed us to know more,” he writes, “but then I realized the magic of the information age is that it allows us to know less. It provides us with external cognitive servants—silicon memory systems, collaborative online filters, consumer preference algorithms and networked knowledge. We can burden these servants and liberate ourselves.”
-
“Why memorize the content of a single book when you could be using your brain to hold a quick guide to an entire library? Rather than memorize information, we now store it digitally and just remember what we stored.”
-
Don Tapscott, the technology writer, puts it more bluntly. Now that we can look up anything “with a click on Google,” he says, “memorizing long passages or historical facts” is obsolete.

When, in an 1892 lecture before a group of teachers, William James declared that “the art of remembering is the art of thinking,” he was stating the obvious.
