Digital Production

The proliferation of screen media and the saturation of everyday life with digital culture led to dramatic shifts in public communication, challenging our sense of what it means to be a citizen in the 21st century. Digital technologies have expanded the capacity to author and circulate information in unforeseeable ways. Cell phone video recordings became evidence of an unprovoked police attack, leaving traditional news outlets with little original content. Shifts in online engagement and mobile recording patterns at the turn of the century have enabled people who exist outside of business, state, and mainstream media sectors to create visible documentary moving image discourse that circumvent traditional media content. The standardization of the internet at the turn of the century brought people together in new ways, paving the way for social media and newly formed social networks. Visibility through digital production, online self-publishing, and circulation through social networks offer more than the opportunity to gather an audience; these forms of communication consistently disrupt, contribute, penetrate, challenge, focus, and reframe important public conversations in our culture. This chapter focuses on accidental witnessing of racial struggle and representation of police brutality in documentary history. This chapter has implications for what bodies get to move freely through a documentary commons and what bodies do not.

Fundamental Shift

The recent rise of electronic media, and the move away from traditional reading and reading, are leading to a fundamental shift in the way in which the human brain processes information. This shift in patterns of human cognition has separate implications for new readers, individuals with reading disabilities, and children without access to schools. While this evolving method of reading may threaten the development of deep reading skills in new readers, it also promises to provide unprecedented access to information and instruction for children without access to formal schooling.

ABSTRACT The majority of media theorists who have applied their work in new technological contexts have eschewed formal experimentation to produce a print-oriented mode of discourse. Even in the digital humanities, scholars build and use tools that ultimately lead to the creation of traditional academic essays and monographs. Applied Media Theory (AMT) is a method that engages in formal experimentation with media to generate critical discourses and technologies. This article identifies a new applied critical practice that not only examines, but also intervenes, in the formation of digital culture, primarily by combining digital art practices with conventional research methods. AMT is outlined here through a description of projects underway in the Critical Media Lab at the University of Waterloo.RÉSUMÉ La plupart des théoriciens des médias qui situent leurs travaux dans de nouveaux contextes technologiques préfèrent un discours orienté vers l’imprimé plutôt que des expérimentations sur la forme. Même dans l’étude des médias interactifs, les chercheurs développent et emploient des outils qui mènent ultimement à la création de monographies et d’articles traditionnels. La théorie médiatique appliquée est une approche où l’on effectue des expériences formelles avec les médias afin de générer des technologies et des discours critiques. Cet article identifie à ce titre une nouvelle pratique critique appliquée qui examine non seulement la formation de la culture numérique mais intervient aussi dans cette formation, principalement en combinant les pratiques d’art numérique et les méthodes de recherche conventionnelles. Cet article présente aussi la théorie médiatique appliquée en décrivant des projets en cours dans le Critical Media Lab de l’Université de Waterloo.

Theoretical Developments

With the rapid increase in the number of available digital texts in schools, new methodological approaches to studying writing development in education are now emerging. However, with new methodological approaches follow new epistemological challenges. In this article, I examine some of these challenges and discuss how they affect the role of computational linguistics within the field of educational writing research. The article is structured around three main sections. First, I position computational linguistics within the wider field of educational writing research with particular focus on L1 writing and K12 education. Second, I discuss to what extent methods from computational linguistics can provide us with new insights into different aspects of educational writing. Third, I discuss the potential of the concept of affordance to bridge between technology-centered and human-centered methodological approaches, and I relate this idea to recent theoretical developments in the digital humanities. Based on this discussion, I conclude the article with suggestions for possible directions in future writing research.

The long neglect of the work and influence of the Swiss designer Adolphe Appia has begun to be remedied in recent decades; but as Richard Beacham points out in the following article, Appia's own character was in part responsible for his ‘anonymity’. Where his friend Edward Gordon Craig was a tireless self-promoter, whose work remained influential despite being little utilized by practitioners in his lifetime, Appia tended to withdraw from contact with the wider world, and indeed chose to spend the last years of his life in the seclusion of a sanatorium. Here Beacham traces the twin threads which for long kept Appia's life a sealed book – the problems and delays over the publication of his writings, and the misplaced ‘discretion’ of those controlling the rights concerning Appia's homosexuality, a ‘condition’ which, in the early twentieth century, caused him much distress, and contributed to the long periods of deep depression, lassitude, and debilitation in his life. With the dedicated Appia scholar Walther Volbach, Beacham himself was at last able to edit and publish Adolphe Appia: Essays, Scenarios, and Designs in 1989. He contributed earlier studies of Appia to this journal in the two-part ‘Adolphe Appia, Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, and Hellerau’, in NTQ 2 and 3 (May and August 1985), and ‘“Brothers in Suffering and Joy”: the Appia-Craig Correspondence’, in NTQ 15 (August 1988). Richard Beacham was one of the founders of the Department of Theatre Studies, University of Warwick, and besides his work on Appia has published extensively on ancient theatre practice. He has implemented ways of visualizing the study of theatre history as founding director of the King's Visualization Lab in the Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London, where he served as Professor of Digital Culture.

Mafteaḥ Shelomoh, the Hebrew adaptation of the Clavicula Salomonis, contains a remarkably large number of visual elements, including images and other text-structuring means. This article compares the use of images and image captions of one segulla (an instruction for a magical procedure) in two different manuscripts of the Sefer Mafteaḥ Shelomoh: the ms Oriental 14759 (The British Library, London), and the ms Gollancz. It tries to show how the scribes of the manuscripts were involved in a kind of meta-textual criticism when arranging the textual material anew, adding captions to images and obtaining missing material from alternative sources.

Mais especificamente, argumento que a pesquisa de línguas se serve da cultura digital para o desenvolvimento e a atualização de sua pesquisa. Este ensaio integra o estudo, em andamento, que é parte do projeto Language Acts and Worldmaking;e permite concluir que é preciso um maior engajamento multilíngue dentro das humanidades digitais e o entendimento de como estas duas áreas de contato se comunicam e colaboram entre si.Palavras-chave: Cultura Digital; Pesquisa; Línguas Modernas; Humanidades Digitais.ABSTRACT This article examines the contact boundaries between modern languages research and the digital culture. These boundaries extend between the analogue and digital environment in the production of knowledge and research in Brazil. More specifically, I argue that modern languages research draws on the digital culture for the development of its discipline and range of investigation. This essay is part of the ongoing study carried out by the Language Acts and Worldmakingproject and concludes that greater multilingual engagement is required within the Digital Humanities, as well as a more extensive understanding of how these two areas of contact communicate and collaborate.Keywords: Digital Culture; Research; Modern Languages; Digital Humanities.

This contribution to a special issue on “Computer-aided processing of intertextuality” in ancient texts will illustrate how using digital tools to interact with the Hebrew Bible offers new promising perspectives for visualizing the texts and for performing tasks in education and research. This contribution explores how the corpus of the Hebrew Bible created and maintained by the Eep Talstra Centre for Bible and Computer can support new methods for modern knowledge workers within the field of digital humanities and theology be applied to ancient texts, and how this can be envisioned as a new field of digital intertextuality. The article first describes how the corpus was used to develop the Bible Online Learner as a persuasive technology to enhance language learning with, in, and around a database that acts as the engine driving interactive tasks for learners. Intertextuality in this case is a matter of active exploration and ongoing practice. Furthermore, interactive corpus-technology has an important bearing on the task of textual criticism as a specialized area of research that depends increasingly on the availability of digital resources. Commercial solutions developed by software companies like Logos and Accordance offer a market-based intertextuality defined by the production of advanced digital resources for scholars and students as useful alternatives to often inaccessible and expensive printed versions. It is reasonable to expect that in the future interactive corpus technology will allow scholars to do innovative academic tasks in textual criticism and interpretation. We have already seen the emergence of promising tools for text categorization, analysis of translation shifts, and interpretation. Broadly speaking, interactive tools and tasks within the three areas of language learning, textual criticism, and Biblical studies illustrate a new kind of intertextuality emerging within digital humanities.
