Manifesto for the New Humanities : A Review of Digital _ Humanities

This is an exhilarating time for the digital humanities. There’s an infectious energy driving the development of new tools and new types of research, and a passion for collaboration and reaching across disciplinary boundaries. Digital humanities centers are multiplying at institutions around the world, digital projects are making their way into classrooms, and dedicated funding bodies, like the NEH Office of Digital Humanities, are lending their support to innovative work. Underlying this momentum, however, there’s also a sense of urgency. The digital humanities is, as yet, only partially constituted as a field, and strives for greater recognition within the larger academic ecosystem. This energy and this urgency are both evident throughout Digital_Humanities, a concise volume that aims to serve as a manifesto for the movement.
