Hi Frédéric,

I appreciated your blog post, and while I am in favor of vigorous criticisms from all directions, I hope that this list in particular can be a place where concerns about the global cultural implications and affordances of digital technology in the humanities can receive thorough and sympathetic consideration. These are issues of tremendous importance inside the academy and to some extent outside of it, and they need wide and careful discussion.

David

Dear all,

I'm new to the list - I knew I should have been member of it for a
while - and my first message will be an answer to an answer to a post
of mine.

Yes, my quantitative examples are flimsy. But my post is not based on
them. It's just an illustration to a feeling which is: there are many
non-english speaking DH projects that are somewhere on a hidden
continent, because they're not in English. And it would be great to
bring them a bit of light.

As for as action is concerned, I already participated to several
THATCamp Organisation committees (Paris (twice), Florence,
Luxembourg-Trier) and organised two conferences on history and the
digital era in Luxembourg (and the third is on its way). I also have
to deal with a team of enginers, documentalists and one historian
(myself) that work on the present and future of a multilingual digital
library (http://www.cvce.eu).

Beyond that, I never refuse a beer.

best,
Frédéric
