Querido Ernesto y querid@s tod@s,

creo que antes de decidir si el enlace al vídeo de 2 horas que envié es relevante para GO::DH o menos habría que mirarlo y escucharlo. De echo, si me he permitido enviarlo es porque lo consideré de relevancia en el contexto de nuestro grupo. Esta claro que vamos a tener distintas ideas sobre lo que seria o menos apropriado para este proyecto, dependiendo de la experiencia de cada uno. Hay que asumirlo, y aceptarlo. Yo también estoy sumergido de correos electrónicos en varios idiomas, pero participar en estas aventuras es también aceptar el riesgo de 'information overload'. Ademas, creo que enviar información es un acto de generosidad y no una manera de molestar.

Personally, I accepted to be involve in GO::DH because I wanted (and needed) to share my experiences on gloabl issues concerning education and culture. Before considering myself a digital humanist, I am a teacher, a scholar and an educator. I confess that at present more than 50% of my research time goes to an Italian ONG that ten years ago helped a group of local people in Southern India to set up a school (http://www.ilmondodelleidee.it/?lang=en). We work together for creating new teaching and learning methodologies, and above all to expand our cultural consciousness. Technology sometimes is important, but is only a very small portion of the entire process (especially in the context where we work). All these experiences, among other things, have changed the way I approach scientific work. I am less and less interested in academic disputes, and more and more in cultural challenges and interdisciplinary dialogues. I hope that these experiences could be interesting for the GO::DH project, but I am prepared to withdraw from the list if this is not interesting for most its members.

BTW: I will be in Southern India for a month starting from late February, and I'd be very happy, if it would be possible, to meet Indian colleagues involve in DH. Please interested

Domenico

Reciban un cordial saludo
