Digital Humanities is not a unified field but an array of convergent practices that explore a universe in which: a) print is no longer the exclusive or the normative medium in which knowledge is produced and/or disseminated; instead, print finds itself absorbed into new, multimedia configurations; and b) digital tools, techniques, and media have altered the production and dissemination of knowledge in the arts, human and social sciences.

For readers, writers, artists, scholars, amateurs, and anyone else interested in how the humanities work.

ENGL 4709/5709: Digital Humanities will look at what happened and what's happening to the arts and sciences as analog invention, creation, and production give way to digital processes, creators, mindsets, and values. For readers, writers, artists, scholars, amateurs, and anyone else interested in how the humanities work.
We will survey the objects and artifacts created, the spaces, materials, tools, and processes of current digital humanities. A few recent writers will frame our survey, and we'll go looking online and off to find what else we can find as we consider what sense we can make of the current landscape. Maps provided. Exploration required. Here be monsters.

This course will explore what happens - has happened, is happening - when digital processes, creators, and mindsets enter the realm of the humanities.

Additions:
With changes in production and distribution come changes in humanities. Old masters give way to amateurs. The elite gives way to the mob. The unique gives way to mechanical and then digital reproduction. The individual creation gives way to the collaborative and communal, the remix and the mashup.

Wary of repurposing and remixing cultural icons? Michelangelo and DaVinci did it. Facebook and Google too powerful - too, um, Machiavellian? Where do you think they got their business plans?
Concerned that new technologies are destroying the beauty and individuality of art? Wanna buy a camera obscura? How 'bout some nice oils? Fine brushes. I got some rare German pigments right here. Can't tell the painting from the real thing. Takes a little practice, but your 'prentice will show you how. Those kids today know everything.
Is Wikipedia is calling into question the authority of experts? Hello Galileo. Hello Newton, Hello Whitehead, Einstein, Godel, Escher, Bach.
Concerned that YouTube gives the underclass access to media and the popular audience? That Twitter gives the unwashed a soapbox? Nothing new there. Talk to the eighteenth century British and French aristocracy - like they'll listen.
Aesthetics going to hell in a hand basket? [[http://dl.lib.brown.edu/repository2/repoman.php?verb=render&id=1143209523824844&view=pageturner&pageno=1 BLAST!]] those [[http://www.humanitiesblast.com/manifesto/Manifesto_V2.pdf new kids on the block]]. They don't care a fig about decorum.
And the next thing you know, computer programming will be a humanities subject! [[http://www.sdsc.edu/ScienceWomen/lovelace.html Ada, Countess of Lovelace]], meet [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds Linus of Linux]]. Flood gates are open. Send in the amateurs.
There's no denying that digital media have changed the sense of, content of, face of the humanities from something we were comfortable with to ... something else, not so comforting, not so familiar, not so exclusive. It isn't the first time, and it won't be the last.
Have a hand in defining where we'll go next.
