Dear All,
It gives us great pleasure to publish the second title of the Centre for Internet and Society [CIS] Papers series, a report on 'Mapping Digital Humanities in India'. The study undertook a detailed mapping of digital practices in arts and humanities scholarship, both emerging and established, in India. Beginning with an understanding of Digital Humanities as a 'found term' in the Indian context, the study explores discussions and debates about changes in humanities practice, scholarship and pedagogy that have come about with the digital turn. Further it inquires about the spaces and roles of digital technologies in the humanities, and by extension in the arts, media, and creative practice today; transformations in the objects and methods of study and practice in these spaces; and the shifts in the imagination of the 'digital' itself, and its linkages with humanities practices. This report comes out of an extended research project supported by the Kusuma Trust. Please see: http://cis-india.org/papers/mapping-digital-humanities-in-india
CIS Papers The CIS Papers series publishes open access monographs and discussion pieces that critically contribute to the debates on digital technologies and society. It includes publication of new findings and observations, of work-in-progress, and of critical review of existing materials. These may be authored by researchers at or affiliated to CIS, by external researchers and practitioners, or by a group of discussants. CIS offers editorial support to the selected monographs and discussion pieces. The views expressed, however, are of the authors' alone.
Best wishes,
