#DayofDH – How do you define DH? 457 active members Dalia GuerreiroÉvora University Digital humanities includes the set of research and experiments that aim to facilitate the use of digital resources, making them more intuitive and accessible.

Ed. David M. Berry. n.p.: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012. 172-190. Print.)Ben BrumfieldSharon Webb An Foras Feasa The exercise of defining digital humanities can often leave us with more questions, lingering theories and answers that allude to some aspect of the question but which inevitably lead to assertions that perhaps, digital humanities, is open to interpretation. Essentially, what it is or is not is based on “your” interpretation and perspective as either a practitioner, theorist or an observer. In its simplest guise, digital humanities (from my perspective) is the provision and development of technology for the humanities, which is itself focused on artifactual evidence to theorise and explore human culture, thought and society.Andrew Prescott King’s College LondonWhat happens when you start using computers to study humanities subjects.Charlene McGoohanAn Foras Feasa, NUI Maynooth, IrelandThe amalgamation of the humanities and computer science to create digital tools and resources that allow further research in the discipline of Humanities.Andrea Rapp TU Darmstadt, Institut für Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft, Germanistische Computerphilologie DIgital Humanities should be “Humanities” working on humanities research questions with old and new methods, old and new questions, old and new media in a new way.Tara L Andrews University of Bern DH is the digital study of cultural heritage, or the study of digital cultural heritage, or something in between.

Ideally innovation in this process should happen both on the Humanities and the technology side.DH group at FBKFondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, ItalyDH is the field in which Humanities and Information Technologies can interact and support each other. On one side Humanistic competences can help Human Language Technologies to tackle one of the most difficult challenges of the discipline, which is the handling of the semantics of human language texts. On the other side Information Technologies can support research activities where the analysis of texts and images plays a crucial role and that are traditionally qualified as Humanistic (e.g. Historical and Literary Studies; Cultural Heritage).Shawn DayUniversity College CorkPeering further into the shadowsPaul SpenceKing’s College LondonA space for collaboration, creativity and critical reflection on the use and application of digital technology in the humanitiesJ.

With that in mind, could Oscar Wilde be right – “To define is to limit”? [1] Based on the work I do, DH is the application of digital technologies to traditional data and artefacts in order to make new interactive resources for those who are teaching and learning history. [1] (Wilde, Oscar. The Picture of Dorian Gray, (1891), 217. CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts, Retrieved: April 3, 2014.)Sara KerrNoneDH is where the traditional fields of the humanities meet the technological advances, and increased accessibility, made possible by computers. It enables researchers to combine traditional methods with the processing power of computers.ProfessMoravecEthan WatrallMichigan State UniversityWho the hell knows….I certainly don’tMatteo RomanelloMichael J MaguirePatrick SahleCologne Center for eHumanities (CCeH) at University of Cologne; Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE)DH in a narrower sense is a discipline in its own right. It is a metadiscipline to the humanities. DH in a wider sense regards the digital transformation of the disciplines within the humanities and thus takes place within these disciplines as well.Joshgun SirajzadeThomasKollatzSteinheim-Institute for German-Jewish HistoryH w/ more or less DJürgen KnauthTrier Center for Digital HumanitiesPersonally, I don’t define DH. Definitions should be done by others than myself. But I have a pretty clear understanding what I think DH is: DH is the “place” where various disciplines meet, especially informatics and humanities. There are numerous of problems that can only be solved if those expertises are brought together. The project I’m working on – SeNeReKo – is a great example for such co-operation of multiple disciplines.María Dolores Martos PérezUNED, MadridNew tools for new Studies.Kristin KoptiuchArizona State UniversityDH breaks open opportunities to ask and research new questions in humanities, stimulates novel approaches and visualizations of humanities work, and gives us a chance to make more effective relevant interventions to broader publics.LaurenUniversity of British ColumbiaA realm of digital creations made by experts and amateurs in the humanities field.Katherine PandoraUniversity of OklahomaDigital Humanities for me is what happens when we plug humanities into computationally powered amps, and an audience that was expecting the comforts of communal affirmation has to decide whether or not to pick up new instruments and to experiment and push the limits.Naomi FraserCentre for Literary and Linguistic Computing (CLLC), University of NewcastleThe Digital Humanities is an environment that encourages scholars to develop and apply digital tools to new and old questions.ETC...
