Hi everybody,
Apologies for cross-posting. I think people on this list could be interested in this reflection -- with some anticipation of a forthcoming study: http://infolet.it/2015/07/12/monocultural-humanities/ I started to write it as response to Gregory Crane's article ("The Big Humanities, National Identity and the Digital Humanities in Germany"), but it came out too long, so I decided to make a blog post.
It would be great if a discussion here and in institutional places would produce some new proposals for changing this discouraging scenario (starting with the DH).
All the best
Domenico
