EarhartAnn Arbor, Michigan :University of Michigan Press,[2015].©20151 online resource (161 pages) PDF, digital file(s)Editorial theory and literary criticismPrint version: 9780472052783 Includes bibliographical references and index.Digital Humanities remains a contested, umbrella term covering many types of work in numerous disciplines, including literature, history, linguistics, classics, theater, performance studies, film, media studies, computer science, and information science. In Traces of the Old, Uses of the New: The Emergence of Digital Literary Studies, Amy Earhart stakes a claim for discipline-specific history of digital study as a necessary prelude to true progress in defining Digital Humanities as a shared set of interdisciplinary practices and interests. Traces of the Old, Uses of the New focuses on twenty-five years of developments, including digital editions, digital archives, e-texts, text mining, and visualization, to situate emergent products and processes in relation to historical trends of disciplinary interest in literary study. By reexamining the roil of theoretical debates and applied practices from the last generation of work in juxtaposition with applied digital work of the same period, Earhart also seeks to expose limitations in need of alternative methods—methods that might begin to deliver on the early (but thus far unfulfilled) promise that digitizing texts allows literature scholars to ask and answer questions in new and compelling ways. In mapping the history of digital literary scholarship, Earhart also seeks to chart viable paths to its future, and in doing this work in one discipline, this book aims to inspire similar work in others.Editorial theory and literary criticism.Literature and the InternetLiteratureComputer network resourcesDigital librariesElectronic publicationsLiterature and the Internet.LiteratureComputer network resources.Digital libraries.Electronic publications.802.85Earhart Amy E.1969-801228UkMaJRU9910289337803321Traces of the old, uses of the new1908999UNINA
