Dear list members,
I've been tied up with a number of things lately and been unable to complete a response to the earlier thread about multilingualism and globalization, which I hope to do soon, as I feel that some of the most important issues have not yet been addressed thoroughly enough.
While reading the live tweets (hashtag #rp13) of the re:publica 13 conference now taking place in Berlin, I ran across this abstract for a paper by Nishant Shah, who directs the research portfolio at the Centre for Internet and Society in Bangalore (http://cis-india.org/author/nishant). It seems to me to speak to some of the issues that have been raised as well as some that have not, and that I hope we can discuss more fully in the future.

"Say 'Digital Humanities' One More Time: Technology, affect and learning in emerging information societies"
Nishant Shah https://re-publica.de/en/users/nishantshah
One of the ironies of the local-global divide is that certain practices within the local sphere often precede the global nomenclatures that are assigned to them. ‘Digital Humanities’ is a prime example of this phenomenon where a clutch of practices which emerged with the rise of digital technologies and their integration into the national policies on higher education and learning, are now retrospectively understood as ‘Digital Humanities’. So even as the term was gaining currency in the European and North American context, becoming one of the buzzwords through which new conditions of pedagogy and education were imagined within the Universities in the North-West, it had almost no takers in the emerging knowledge industries of South Asia in general, and India in particular.
Within this context, it has now become natural, for all talks about education to eventually veer towards infrastructure. There is enough reason for that, when we look at the pitiful lack of resources in the country vis-à-vis the size of the population, and many of the larger problems endemic in higher education today, are tied down to this massive infrastructure deficit.Simultaneously, there has always been a severe fragmentation and compartmentalisation of knowledge systems within the academia, which is not restricted to only the Humanities which is increasingly facing the pressure to make itself relevant and produce work-forces for a global finance driven market.
The questions of professionalising and mainstreaming humanities and social sciences education are almost universal right now, and indeed, one of the ambitions of Digital Humanities projects which are seeking to find validity for education that does not prepare a global information work-force. The realignment of the market with the education system, has been critiqued by theorists of neo-liberal globalisation, who have pointed out how it enables state disinvestment from education and the privatisation of learning resources. However, even in these existing critiques of Digital Humanities (whether they use that term or not), there seems to be a consensual agreement that infrastructure building is necessary and must happen.
This talk, critically examines the implications of adopting Digital Humanities as a principle in emerging information societies, and drawing from experiments with students in 9 undergraduate colleges in India, examines the ways in which it needs to reconsider its relationship with the more accepted ideas of infrastructure, usage, adoption and learning.

Thanks very much indeed to David for sharing this link. I recall having read the title ""Say 'Digital Humanities' One More Time" previously, will try to dig out if it was the same paper.... the abstract sounds great. Hopefully this talk/paper will be made available in full soon? Otherwise, if we were not in Berlin, it seems we've missed it... ;-)

I think Ernesto brings up a good point. Is it possible to create a clearinghouse of sorts for these kinds of publications? I don't want to say "journal" but a place where we can encourage these kinds of presentations/papers to be shared and accessed.
I hesitate to say a Global DH blog, but basically I'm saying a Global DH blog.
I really appreciate getting these as well (especially b/c a group of us are in the process of writing our DH2013 presentation which touch on these very issues) and I want to be able to cite/refer to the most recent writings/musings on the issue.
Thanks everyone. Lee @readywriting

Hi Ernesto and Lee,
This is a great point. I'd be happy to help out on helping to create such a repository.
The paper has been given already, but Nishant has an academia.edu page with many other papers posted, many no doubt of interest to list readers ( http://cis-india.academia.edu/NishantShah); I'll try to find out if he plans to post it or is otherwise willing to distribute it.

I don't see why we can't use our site for this kind of thing: I'm not the webmaster, but I believe that this was very much what we were hoping to use it for. I think it might be really cool to set up a group of regular correspondents who report on this kind of thing, either directly on our webspace or through syndication of theirs on ours.
And in terms of a journal, let me say that DSCN (http://digitalstudies.org/) is /extremely /interested in publishing this kind of thing. It is an ADHO journal that was founded by the Canadian Society for Digital Humanities/Société canadienne pour les humanités numériques. It has recently begun a transition to a major focus on Global DH and Multicultural/Multilingual DH and is very interested in refereeable submissions on these topics (I'm also the newly confirmed Editor-in-Chief). With ADHO and the University of Lethbridge, DSCN is one of the three sponsors of the Global DH essay competition http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/global-outlookdigital-humanities-global-digital-humanities-essay-prize/, something I'm hoping we might be able to fund regularly going forward.

Hi Dan,
I think that makes a lot of sense. Maybe the webmasters can set up another Working Group around this, or a page where we can work on it? I don't know whehter the CMS you are using can allow entries by multiple account holders, but in any case I'd definitely want to be involved & try to coordinate the efforts of others who are interested (and hopefully drum up some material for DSCN, too!)
I have messaged Nishant Shah through academia.edu earlier today both to see about copies of his paper and inviting him to join GO::DH, so hopefully we'll hear more from him soon.
As long as I'm here, I apologize for spelling Domenico Fiormonte's name incorrectly in one of my earlier messages today.

And in terms of a journal, let me say that DSCN ( http://digitalstudies.org/) is *extremely *interested in publishing this kind of thing. It is an ADHO journal that was founded by the Canadian Society for Digital Humanities/Société canadienne pour les humanités numériques. It has recently begun a transition to a major focus on Global DH and Multicultural/Multilingual DH and is very interested in refereeable submissions on these topics (I'm also the newly confirmed Editor-in-Chief). With ADHO and the University of Lethbridge, DSCN is one of the three sponsors of the Global DH essay competitionhttp://www.globaloutlookdh.org/global-outlookdigital-humanities-global-digital-humanities-essay-prize/, something I'm hoping we might be able to fund regularly going forward.

Dear list members,
I've been tied up with a number of things lately and been unable to complete a response to the earlier thread about multilingualism and globalization, which I hope to do soon, as I feel that some of the most important issues have not yet been addressed thoroughly enough.
While reading the live tweets (hashtag #rp13) of the re:publica 13 conference now taking place in Berlin, I ran across this abstract for a paper by Nishant Shah, who directs the research portfolio at the Centre for Internet and Society in Bangalore (http://cis-india.org/author/nishant). It seems to me to speak to some of the issues that have been raised as well as some that have not, and that I hope we can discuss more fully in the future.

"Say 'Digital Humanities' One More Time: Technology, affect and learning in emerging information societies"
Nishant Shah https://re-publica.de/en/users/nishantshah
One of the ironies of the local-global divide is that certain practices within the local sphere often precede the global nomenclatures that are assigned to them. ‘Digital Humanities’ is a prime example of this phenomenon where a clutch of practices which emerged with the rise of digital technologies and their integration into the national policies on higher education and learning, are now retrospectively understood as ‘Digital Humanities’. So even as the term was gaining currency in the European and North American context, becoming one of the buzzwords through which new conditions of pedagogy and education were imagined within the Universities in the North-West, it had almost no takers in the emerging knowledge industries of South Asia in general, and India in particular.
Within this context, it has now become natural, for all talks about education to eventually veer towards infrastructure. There is enough reason for that, when we look at the pitiful lack of resources in the country vis-à-vis the size of the population, and many of the larger problems endemic in higher education today, are tied down to this massive infrastructure deficit.Simultaneously, there has always been a severe fragmentation and compartmentalisation of knowledge systems within the academia, which is not restricted to only the Humanities which is increasingly facing the pressure to make itself relevant and produce work-forces for a global finance driven market.
The questions of professionalising and mainstreaming humanities and social sciences education are almost universal right now, and indeed, one of the ambitions of Digital Humanities projects which are seeking to find validity for education that does not prepare a global information work-force. The realignment of the market with the education system, has been critiqued by theorists of neo-liberal globalisation, who have pointed out how it enables state disinvestment from education and the privatisation of learning resources. However, even in these existing critiques of Digital Humanities (whether they use that term or not), there seems to be a consensual agreement that infrastructure building is necessary and must happen.
This talk, critically examines the implications of adopting Digital Humanities as a principle in emerging information societies, and drawing from experiments with students in 9 undergraduate colleges in India, examines the ways in which it needs to reconsider its relationship with the more accepted ideas of infrastructure, usage, adoption and learning.

Our CMS is just wordpress, so it shouldn't be an issue. There was a discussion about this I'm pretty sure, but I don't remember if there was any action to come out of it. I don't see us needing a huge bureaucracy to deal with it.
Tim, Barbara: any objections to perhaps even asking David to lead the development of a working group on this? As punishment for spelling Domenico's name wrong.

I just set you up with an account with editor privileges, because I think time zones and travel may mean that it would be a while before Barbara and Tim can get to it. But you should talk to them about the best way of handling things in terms of site layout and any ideas they've already had.

This is a fantastic development. Sorry for the boring caveat but any file/text deposited/shared via our site should be done so with the rights owners' written permission, unless they were made available with a CC license. I would also like to see all original contents of the site licensed under a CC BY license.
On a related note, you may have seen this, which speaks volumes of the need to work on creating a new culture of online sharing in academia that recognises copyright and creative commons licenses seamlessly: http://www.abc.es/cultura/libros/20130506/abci-cedro-201305061759.html

So even as the term was gaining currency in the European and North American context, becoming one of the buzzwords through which new conditions of pedagogy and education were imagined within the Universities in the North-West, it had almost no takers in the emerging knowledge industries of South Asia in general, and India in particular.
Within this context, it has now become natural, for all talks about education to eventually veer towards infrastructure. There is enough reason for that, when we look at the pitiful lack of resources in the country vis-à-vis the size of the population, and many of the larger problems endemic in higher education today, are tied down to this massive infrastructure deficit.Simultaneously, there has always been a severe fragmentation and compartmentalisation of knowledge systems within the academia, which is not restricted to only the Humanities which is increasingly facing the pressure to make itself relevant and produce work-forces for a global finance driven market.
The questions of professionalising and mainstreaming humanities and social sciences education are almost universal right now, and indeed, one of the ambitions of Digital Humanities projects which are seeking to find validity for education that does not prepare a global information work-force. The realignment of the market with the education system, has been critiqued by theorists of neo-liberal globalisation, who have pointed out how it enables state disinvestment from education and the privatisation of learning resources. However, even in these existing critiques of Digital Humanities (whether they use that term or not), there seems to be a consensual agreement that infrastructure building is necessary and must happen.
This talk, critically examines the implications of adopting Digital Humanities as a principle in emerging information societies, and drawing from experiments with students in 9 undergraduate colleges in India, examines the ways in which it needs to reconsider its relationship with the more accepted ideas of infrastructure, usage, adoption and learning.

I agree and certainly support the original contents of the site being covered by a CC-BY license.
As for the bibliography, I was definitely planning to start with a simple list, including links (where available) to material hosted elsewhere, which would avoid the issue, but I agree that if and when we find anything we want to host on the site, we need to be careful about rights.
By the way, if anyone else wants to participate/help out, please contact me either on- or off-list.

Hi Dan,
I think that makes a lot of sense. Maybe the webmasters can set up another Working Group around this, or a page where we can work on it? I don't know whehter the CMS you are using can allow entries by multiple account holders, but in any case I'd definitely want to be involved & try to coordinate the efforts of others who are interested (and hopefully drum up some material for DSCN, too!)
I have messaged Nishant Shah through academia.edu earlier today both to see about copies of his paper and inviting him to join GO::DH, so hopefully we'll hear more from him soon.
As long as I'm here, I apologize for spelling Domenico Fiormonte's name incorrectly in one of my earlier messages today.

I agree: this is a fantastic development! We might look at the dh+lib website (http://acrl.ala.org/dh/) as a potential model in this regard. They enlist at-large editors to help discover, nominate, and sort content by category: http://acrl.ala.org/dh/eal-instructions/. Imagine having at-large editors contributing from all over the world (we may need to start translating TO English). This seems like an opportune time to think about and discuss the GO::DH Web presence and how to make it more engaging.

The dh+lib model is inspired by Digital Humanities Now ( http://digitalhumanitiesnow.org/how-this-works/), but I particularly like the way they have presented their RSS-feed-based workflow.

Hi Dan,
I think that makes a lot of sense. Maybe the webmasters can set up another Working Group around this, or a page where we can work on it? I don't know whehter the CMS you are using can allow entries by multiple account holders, but in any case I'd definitely want to be involved & try to coordinate the efforts of others who are interested (and hopefully drum up some material for DSCN, too!)
I have messaged Nishant Shah through academia.edu earlier today both to see about copies of his paper and inviting him to join GO::DH, so hopefully we'll hear more from him soon.
As long as I'm here, I apologize for spelling Domenico Fiormonte's name incorrectly in one of my earlier messages today.

I really think we should go this way. As I've probably said, we had pretty good success with it at digitalmedievalist when we pushed it.
It is a great thing for graduate students to do, for example, because it involves keeping up on the literature--and so is something that allows them to make dual use of something that is often their main task anyway.
And I think your point about language is also excellent: the one difficulty in a context like digitalmedievalist is that the expectation is that the correspondence is in English. Especially for junior grad students who are perhaps just getting used to working with academic writing in English, that can be quite intimidating. Being able to write in your home language is a nice way of easing into the process of writing about research--and there is nothing that stops one from translating into English or eventually even writing in it if that is what one likes.
I'm all in favour!

Sorry to join in so late. I think this is a great idea. At RedHD we regularly publish our blog http://humanidadesdigitales.net/blog/ which is in Spanish. If there is anything GO:DH related I will make sure to let you know and will happily participate in adding any other content that I come across. I will be giving the closing keynote on this subject at DH13 and I am VERY interested in gathering as many different perspectives as possible. Best wishes, Isabel

I really think we should go this way. As I've probably said, we had pretty good success with it at digitalmedievalist when we pushed it.
It is a great thing for graduate students to do, for example, because it involves keeping up on the literature--and so is something that allows them to make dual use of something that is often their main task anyway.
And I think your point about language is also excellent: the one difficulty in a context like digitalmedievalist is that the expectation is that the correspondence is in English. Especially for junior grad students who are perhaps just getting used to working with academic writing in English, that can be quite intimidating. Being able to write in your home language is a nice way of easing into the process of writing about research--and there is nothing that stops one from translating into English or eventually even writing in it if that is what one likes.
I'm all in favour!

Dear David (and All), What a wonderful surprise! I have been a part of the list from the early days, but have been a self-confessed lurker so far. I just got back from the madness of Re:Publica (the nice kinds, the one where you see pink elephants and visit tea parties) and discovered this thread and the message on academia. Thank you very much for the interest in the talk and for the work we are doing at Centre for Internet & Society in Bangalore, India. We have been very curious/anxious about the global digital humanities rhetoric that has been slowly trickling into India, shaping new policies and practices for Higher Education in the country. Over the last 5 years, we have been working closely with different policy actors as well as undergraduate colleges and other academic partners, to examine what DH can look like in a country that does not necessarily have to bear the same historical and political contexts as the Global North where DH seems to have emerged in.
My talk at Re:Publica was trying to capture the terms of the debate and its implications, moving away from the infrastructure-obsessed dialogue and looking at other kinds of infrastructure that become exciting and interesting for India (and perhaps the rest of the world). I think the talk will be made public in a couple of days and I would be happy to share it with the group. In the meantime, I was also a part of a panel discussing Open Access and Digital Humanities along with Mercedes Bunz, David Berry and Cornelius Puschman which is available for a viewing here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9d0KM1I0aw
I have also just written a book chapter for a forthcoming book edited by David Theo Goldberg and Patrick Svenson for MIT Press on the state of Digital Humanities in a global context, and will be sharing it on my Academia page as soon as I can.
Thank you, once again, for the shout out and for making me un-lurk.
Warm regards Nishant P.S. Please excuse any typos - I am writing this on a very tired train journey on my way back home.

Dear list members,
I've been tied up with a number of things lately and been unable to complete a response to the earlier thread about multilingualism and globalization, which I hope to do soon, as I feel that some of the most important issues have not yet been addressed thoroughly enough.
While reading the live tweets (hashtag #rp13) of the re:publica 13 conference now taking place in Berlin, I ran across this abstract for a paper by Nishant Shah, who directs the research portfolio at the Centre for Internet and Society in Bangalore (http://cis-india.org/author/nishant). It seems to me to speak to some of the issues that have been raised as well as some that have not, and that I hope we can discuss more fully in the future.

"Say 'Digital Humanities' One More Time: Technology, affect and learning in emerging information societies"
Nishant Shah https://re-publica.de/en/users/nishantshah
One of the ironies of the local-global divide is that certain practices within the local sphere often precede the global nomenclatures that are assigned to them. 'Digital Humanities' is a prime example of this phenomenon where a clutch of practices which emerged with the rise of digital technologies and their integration into the national policies on higher education and learning, are now retrospectively understood as 'Digital Humanities'. So even as the term was gaining currency in the European and North American context, becoming one of the buzzwords through which new conditions of pedagogy and education were imagined within the Universities in the North-West, it had almost no takers in the emerging knowledge industries of South Asia in general, and India in particular.
Within this context, it has now become natural, for all talks about education to eventually veer towards infrastructure. There is enough reason for that, when we look at the pitiful lack of resources in the country vis-à-vis the size of the population, and many of the larger problems endemic in higher education today, are tied down to this massive infrastructure deficit.Simultaneously, there has always been a severe fragmentation and compartmentalisation of knowledge systems within the academia, which is not restricted to only the Humanities which is increasingly facing the pressure to make itself relevant and produce work-forces for a global finance driven market.
The questions of professionalising and mainstreaming humanities and social sciences education are almost universal right now, and indeed, one of the ambitions of Digital Humanities projects which are seeking to find validity for education that does not prepare a global information work-force. The realignment of the market with the education system, has been critiqued by theorists of neo-liberal globalisation, who have pointed out how it enables state disinvestment from education and the privatisation of learning resources. However, even in these existing critiques of Digital Humanities (whether they use that term or not), there seems to be a consensual agreement that infrastructure building is necessary and must happen.
This talk, critically examines the implications of adopting Digital Humanities as a principle in emerging information societies, and drawing from experiments with students in 9 undergraduate colleges in India, examines the ways in which it needs to reconsider its relationship with the more accepted ideas of infrastructure, usage, adoption and learning.

Thank you, Nishant. I am listening as I write, and that video is also very exciting and definitely worth watching for our fellow listmembers.
"Think of 'open people' instead of 'open access'": so well said and so important.
Very much looking forward to more.
David
