Digital Humanities at the Intersection of Three Approaches to Data Visualisation: Statistical Graphics, Data Humanism, and Humanistic Interpretation

Digital Humanities at the Intersection of Three Approaches to Data Visualisation: Statistical Graphics, Data Humanism, and Humanistic Interpretation

Digital humanities has a critical role in the progress of the data visualisation field. First, humanities scholars engage with the concept of knowledge as interpretation. Second, they leverage computational tools and statistical methods to analyse and visualise data and metadata. Finally, Digital Humanities projects are a space for experimentation where different epistemic cultures (which often go beyond the Humanities and Computer Science) negotiate new forms of knowledge.

Toxic Maintenance: The Use of Creosote for Telephone Pole Impregnation

Toxic Maintenance: The Use of Creosote for Telephone Pole Impregnation

Today, extending the lifespan of technology—defined as the period during which a particular technology is in actual use—through maintenance and repair is often regarded as an act of environmentalism.

Six Memos for the New Millennium : A Dialogue with Andreas Fickers on Epistemic Virtues in the Digital Humanities

Taking Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium as a starting point for a conversation about the epistemic virtues in the Digital Humanities, Andreas Fickers and Annie van den Oever discuss a rejection of the normative tradition of honing an ideal-typical definition of what makes “good science” in favor of an exploration in the phenomenological descriptive tradition of epistemic norms (values) as internalized by scientists. They reflect on the six epistemic virtues that could be instrumental in prompting

Introduction

Introduction

This chapter outlines the conceptual framework of the book and the variety of viewpoints related to the use of the notion of scale and zooming in digital history and humanities. The contributions included in the volume encompass different degrees of theoretical assumptions, practical insights and middle-ground reflections, symbolically expressed through the three conceptual levels: bird’s-eye view, overhead view and ground view.
