Alternative Historiographies of the Digital Humanities examines the process of history in the narrative of the digital humanities and deconstructs its history as a straight line from the beginnings of humanities computing. By discussing alternatives histories of the digital humanities that address queer gaming, feminist game studies praxis, Cold War military-industrial complex computation, the creation of the environmental humanities, monolingual discontent in DH, the hidden history of DH in English studies, radical media praxis, cultural studies and DH, indigenous futurities, Pacific Rim postcolonial DH, the issue of scale and DH, the radical, indigenous, feminist histories of the digital database, and the possibilities for an antifascist DH, this collection hopes to re-set discussions of the straight, white origin myths of DH. Thus, this collection hopes to reexamine the silences in such a straight and white masculinist history and delineates how power comes into play to shape this straight, white DH narrative. A number of the pieces in this volume go back to the origin myth of the digital humanities to reassess the hagiography of Father Busa by reconsidering and recontextualizing his legacy and his work in relation to media archaeology, politics, Cold War maneuvers, mechanized genocide, the Third Reich, and the military-industrial complex as it has organized various fields, including Asian Studies. This reassessment of comparative genealogies ? vis-à-vis Foucault ? undergirds an alternative history of the Jesuit hagiography we have so far been unwilling to reexamine for its narrative use in embellishing an origin hagiography/historiography for digital humanities. Other pieces intertwine the digital humanities with other fields ? area studies, Asian American Studies, cultural studies, literary studies, and environmental studies ? in order to reexamine how the intersections and juxtapositions reveal silences in these histories. And finally, a number of pieces considers alternative praxes in rethinking these histories, whether it is an essay that is a game or a reevaluation of feminist media praxis." 606 $aInternet: general works$2bicssc 606 $aCultural studies$2bicssc 610 $acultural studies, digital humanities, feminism, indigenous studies, postcolonialism, queer gaming, radical media 615 7$aInternet: general works 615 7$aCultural studies 700 $aKim$b Dorothy$4edt$01023058 702 $aKoh$b Adeline 702 $aKim$b Dorothy 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910488738403321 996 $aAlternative Historiographies of the Digital Humanities$93577193 997 $aUNINA
