Reviews
"Is there such a thing as 'digital' humanities? From statistical crunches of texts to new forms of online collaboration and peer review, it's clear something is happening. This book is an excellent primer on the arguments over just how much is changing--and how much more ought to--in the way scholars study the humanities." --Clive Thompson, columnist for Wired and contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine, "I look forward to the day when anxieties about the disruptive nature of 'digital humanities' fade into memory and the innovative methods, theories, and approaches championed by those who have contributed to this valuable volume are respected across academia for their rigor and utility. This book will go a long way toward clarifying the debates within and about digital humanities." -Siva Vaidhyanathan, author of The Googlization of Everything-and Why We Should Worry, "A substantial collection . . . [whose] contributors include most of the scholars who have been most prominent in the emergence of digital humanities over the past few years." -- Times Literary Supplement, "Though Debates in the Digital Humanities is well over 500 pages in length, there is no fat in it; all essays contain important information and concepts relating to DH. Taken together, the book as a whole and every essay in it is a must-read for anyone who claims to be a digital humanist whether she or he works in theory, pedagogy, and/or practice." -- Leonardo Reviews, "Though Debates in the Digital Humanities is well over 500 pages in length, there is no fat in it; all essays contain important information and concepts relating to DH.

[whose] contributors include most of the scholars who have been most prominent in the emergence of digital humanities over the past few years."-- Times Literary Supplement "The essays in Gold's collection demonstrate the positive effects of a cross-fertilization of ideas, as the authors often refer to one another in their work. The result is an anthology that reads like a conversation--dynamic, capacious, and at times diffuse, but one that always returns to core concerns about the meaning, function, and future of this emerging field."-- American Quarterly "Provides not only a valuable primer for any newcomer interested in exploring digital humanities, but also a detailed exploration and critique. . . Gold has managed to balance the need to provide a detailed survey of the subject with an incisive look at the complexities inherent in both the 'making' aspect and the 'thinking' aspect of digital humanities."-- Information, Communication Society "This collection of some fifty articles and blog posts by leading scholars in the field, elegantly printed, provides a rich exploration by way of self-reflection on the field as it has emerged in academic departments in the humanities, particularly in English and History, in recent years."-- The Key Reporter "Gold's anthology is absolutely the necessary starting point for those who want to catch up on debates in the field, learn about the history of digital humanities, and contemplate a future application to their art historical work. Gold should be highly commended, given that he gives us a book so far reaching but also honest about its moment. "-- Visual Resources "This book provides a crucial introduction to current topics for new scholars and graduate students within the field, while also making sure to address instructors with regards to needs for pedagogy for the future."-- Hyperrhiz: New Media Cultures, "Though Debates in the Digital Humanities is well over 500 pages in length, there is no fat in it; all essays contain important information and concepts relating to DH.

Synopsis
Encompassing new technologies, research methods, and opportunities for collaborative scholarship and open-source peer review, as well as innovative ways of sharing knowledge and teaching, the digital humanities promises to transform the liberal arts--and perhaps the university itself. Indeed, at a time when many academic institutions are facing austerity budgets, digital humanities programs have been able to hire new faculty, establish new centers and initiatives, and attract multimillion-dollar grants. Clearly the digital humanities has reached a significant moment in its brief history. But what sort of moment is it? Debates in the Digital Humanities brings together leading figures in the field to explore its theories, methods, and practices and to clarify its multiple possibilities and tensions. From defining what a digital humanist is and determining whether the field has (or needs) theoretical grounding, to discussions of coding as scholarship and trends in data-driven research, this cutting-edge volume delineates the current state of the digital humanities and envisions potential futures and challenges. At the same time, several essays aim pointed critiques at the field for its lack of attention to race, gender, class, and sexuality; the inadequate level of diversity among its practitioners; its absence of political commitment; and its preference for research over teaching. Together, the essays in Debates in the Digital Humanities --which will be published both as a printed book and later as an ongoing, open-access website--suggest that the digital humanities is uniquely positioned to contribute to the revival of the humanities and academic life.
