Digital Humanities and Digital Media

Digital humanities

“Digital Humanities and Digital Media: conversations on politics, cultures, aesthetics, and literacy” is a book written by Roberto Simanowski. Unlike the previous item additions that we have added to the archive, this one is fairly new, being published in the year 2016. It is defined by critics as “exceptionally relatable” and a “very lively and engaging” take; turning an overcomplicated matter to one of very simple divided parts. Simanowski takes a very different approach in his novel than we have seen in many others in this category. He interviews many different “key figures” in the Digital Humanities field from different eras in time to show the quickly progressive and always changing state of digital media. Not only is Simanowski a writer, but he is a skilled journalist with many years of experience in interviewing others in a professional but easily relatable manner. He ensures that all his interviews share the same common key points and fields while also asking very key specific questions that relate to each individual interviewee. This text would be an important addition to the archiving website because it is in a style that is different than many others, adding a new potential way for students to learn.
