Golumbia likes to say that DH has no real place in the humanities. \u00a0That it is a foreign group invading a group already settled in their ways. \u00a0Golumbia says, “That literary scholars need not defer to DHers when deciding what work qualifies as part of our discipline and meets our own disciplinary standards.” \u00a0Literary study is the core in humanities. \u00a0Digital humanities is just a thin outer shell. \u00a0Digital humanities does not have the final say in what is considered either digital humanities or traditional humanities. \u00a0They are the newest addition into a complex system. \u00a0Just because DH does use many of the same methods as traditional literary studies, does not mean that they know what is and what isn’t.<\/p>\n
Because most of what DH does comes from traditional literary studies, the use of ‘digital’ in front of humanities can be off putting and possibly insulting to those in the humanities discipline. \u00a0It is already a well developed discipline with traditions in study that go back decades, and haven’t changed. I think digital humanities is trying to change the humanities is a good way. \u00a0They are trying to branch out and create something new. \u00a0But by having ‘digital’ in front of humanities presents the problem of taking over the humanities discipline. \u00a0The digital humanities in its own right is a discipline, but because they go off of traditional study, it can be seen as an invasion into the humanities discipline.<\/p>\n
Create. \u00a0It is essentially what digital humanists do. \u00a0They create and build things for others to use and not so much to use other technology. \u00a0It is said that anybody who uses technology is to be considered a digital humanist, but I disagree. \u00a0Being a digital humanist requires a person to use technology that they wouldn’t use on a daily basis, such as emails, apps on a phone, or word. \u00a0Those are all very basic technology tools that everybody uses and therefore should be eliminated from the pool in what you can use to call yourself a digital humanist. \u00a0There needs to be a more specific definition for who and what is considered a digital humanist. With no clear definition, the digital humanities has been allowed to leak into the humanities. The digital humanities, when involved with the humanities discipline, is a sub category. \u00a0The humanities is the core. The digital aspect is a new way to shed light on the humanities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
