Digital Literature and Critical Theory

Digital Literature and Critical Theory

The aim at the core of this book is a synthesis of increasingly popular and culturally significant forms of digital literature on the one hand and established literary and critical theory on the other: reading digital texts through the lens of canonical theory but also reading this more traditional theory through the lens of digital texts and related media. In a field which has often regarded the digital as apart from traditional literature and theory this book highlights continuities in order to analyse digital literature as part of a longer literary tradition. Using examples from social media to video games and works particularly by postmodern and poststructuralist theorists Digital Literature and Critical Theory contextualises digital forms among their analogue precursors and traces ongoing social developments which find expression in these cultural phenomena including power dynamics between authors and readers the individual in (post-)modernity consumerism and the potential for intersubjective exchange.

Greek and Roman Painting and the Digital Humanities

Greek and Roman Painting and the Digital Humanities

This volume is a groundbreaking discussion of the role of digital media in research on ancient painting and a deep reflection on the effectiveness of digital media in opening the field to new audiences. The study of classical art always oscillates between archaeology and classics between the study of ancient texts and archaeological material. For this reason it is often difficult to collect all the data to have access to both types of information on an equal basis. The increasing development of digital collections and databases dedicated to both archaeological material and ancient texts is a direct response to this problem. The book’s central theme is the role of the digital humanities especially digital collection s such as the Digital Milliet in the study of ancient Greek and Roman painting. Part 1 focuses on the transition between the original print version of the Recueil Milliet and its digital incarnation. Part 2 addresses the application of digital tools to the analysis of ancient art. Part 3 focuses on ancient wall painting. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history classics archaeology and digital humanities. | Greek and Roman Painting and the Digital Humanities

Digital Research Methods and the Diaspora Assembling Transnational Networks with and Beyond Digital Data

Digital Research Methods and the Diaspora Assembling Transnational Networks with and Beyond Digital Data

The computational turn in the social sciences and humanities has generated much excitement about the potential to refresh our approaches to the study of the techno-social. From natively digital to digitised data researchers of digital diasporas increasingly find themselves working with a range of disparate digital objects. These digital objects can include anything from hyperlink to timestamps from platform behavioural metrics such as react share or retweet to different media formats such as text image pre-recorded or livestreamed videos. Taking these disparate objects into account this book introduces digital methods as research strategies not only for dealing with the ephemeral and unstable nature of tracing the diaspora with digital data but also for reconceptualizing digital diasporas as assemblages and networks of more-than-human actors. The book also introduces a range of theoretical perspectives and methodological techniques to studying digital diasporas as contingent and processual hybrid collectives of heterogeneous material cultural and practice-based assemblages. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars interested in the digital space and transnational communities. | Digital Research Methods and the Diaspora Assembling Transnational Networks with and Beyond Digital Data

Integrating Digital Literacy in the Disciplines

Integrating Digital Literacy in the Disciplines

Digital literacy has become the vital competency that students need to master before graduating. This book provides rich examples of how to integrate it in disciplinary courses. While many institutions are developing introductory courses to impart universal literacy (skills students need to know) and creative literacy (skills for creating new content) discipline-specific skills (skills needed to succeed within a specific discipline) are a vital extension to their learning and ability to apply digital literacy in different contexts. This book provides examples of how to integrate digital literacy across a wide variety of courses spanning many domains. Rather than a wholly new core institutional outcome digital literacy adds to the development of critical thinking communication problem-solving and teamwork skills by building students’ capacities to assess online information so they can ethically share communicate or repurpose it through the appropriate use of available digital technologies. In short it provides the vital digital dimension to their learning and the literacy skills which will be in increasing demand in their future lives. Following introductory chapters providing context and a theoretical framework the contributing authors from different disciplines share the digital competencies and skills needed within their fields the strategies they use to teach them and insights about the choices they made. What shines through the examples is that regardless of the specificity of the disciplinary examples they offer all readers a commonality of approach and a trove of ideas that can be adapted to other contexts. This book constitutes a practical introduction for faculty interested in including opportunities to apply digital literacy to discipline-specific content. The book will benefit faculty developers and instructional designers who work with disciplinary faculty to integrate digital literacy. The book underscores the importance of preparing students at the course level to create and be assessed on digital content as fields are modernizing and delivery formats of assignments are evolving.
