The Humanities in Transition delves into the profound implications of the fundamental elements of the digital age on the esteemed theories of humanists. Over the past two generations, humanists have largely embraced postmodern theories concerning language, knowledge, and time, considering them as commonplace truths. However, it is important to note that Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and their counterparts developed their ideas during a time when the full impact of the digital world was yet to be envisioned. The digital realm, characterized by its reliance on algorithms and vast repositories of data, operates on entirely distinct principles.
This comprehensive volume aims to examine these disparities, highlighting the limitations of an aging postmodernism in keeping pace with the advancements of contemporary technologies. The book begins by exploring the profound influence postmodernism has had on global thought, before delving into the realm of algorithms, digital spaces, digital time, data visualizations, and the concept of digital forgeries. By closely examining these themes, the book establishes a foundation for developing more robust humanist theories that can effectively grapple with the complexities of the digital world.
This book will be of immense interest to graduate students and established scholars in the Digital Humanities who seek diverse and invigorating theoretical frameworks that can truly comprehend the digital realm. It offers a fresh perspective and a wealth of insights that will inspire scholars to explore new frontiers and develop innovative approaches to understanding the human experience in the age of technology.
