Reviews

"Ten years ago I asked what digital humanities was and what it was doing in English departments. This volume reveals the limits of that questiondisciplinarily, methodologically, politically, and imaginatively. The Debates in the Digital Humanities series continues to define the field in the most expansive and provocative ways possible."Matthew Kirschenbaum, University of Maryland

"This latest installment in the Debates in the Digital Humanities series continues the important work of prising open computational black boxes and of connecting code to culture. The essays collected here are sharp, smart, and political as they tackle crucial issues of race, gender, sexuality, affect, ethics, and more. They also point the way toward a more vibrant and inclusive Digital Humanities."Tara McPherson, author of Feminist in a Software Lab: Difference + Design
