Digital Humanities by David Berry

Knowledge and Critique in a Digital Age

A concise, critical overview of the emerging field that traces its historical roots, methodological practices, and key debates while examining how computational techniques reshape humanities research and scholarly knowledge. It explores the politics and labor of digital infrastructures, tensions between tool-building and interpretation, and institutional pressures such as neoliberalism, arguing for reflective, interdisciplinary engagement with code, data and platforms and calling attention to ethical concerns like access, preservation, and the social impacts of algorithmic knowledge production.
