Digital Library Project

Digital humanities is an emerging discipline that has become increasingly popular in recent years, thanks to the implementation of numerous projects that aim at a dynamic dialogue between digital technologies and humanistic research. This is the scope of the project launched by the Biblioteca Estense Universitaria (BEU) di Modena in 2017, which, in collaboration with the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, included the study, cataloguing and digitization of the cartographic collection, along with the music collection and the Muratorian collection. This project led to the creation of a digital library, inaugurated in June 2020, which not only allowed the enhancement of the cartographic collection, still little known, and to make it available, albeit only virtually, to scholars, but also led to the adoption of the IIIF protocol that allows to compare, edit, annotate and share the documents of the Este collection and collections that participate in the same circuit, providing new useful tools for research. In this context, the contribution, starting from the presentation of the Estense Digital Library project, presents the cartographic collection of the BEU and offers a reflection on the potential that the new digital media provide for the study of cartography and, more broadly, of heritage in the digital age.

Local Materials

Ken Cooper and Elizabeth Argentieri discuss their collaborative project about the Genesee region of Western New York, Open Valley, which invites students not just to think and act locally, but, less obviously, to gather in one location otherwise unconnected types of knowledge: literary, economic, ecological, and historical. Engaging students in archival projects that stretch the possibilities of the academic term, OpenValley invites them to connect with institutions beyond the college campus by collaboratively analyzing commercial documents, building a digital map of nineteenth-century food infrastructure, and editing as-yet unpublished diaries from a local farming family. Combining in real life (IRL) experiences for students in the form of community-engaged service learning with digital humanities pedagogy, students bring local materials to new and wider audiences.

Text Reading

This article looks at Bible engagement in a digital age, focusing both on multimedia engagement with the Bible through the ages and on the changes that new technologies bring to the reading process, and asking some questions about our use of different technologies for different tasks. The article opens up the new possibilities afforded to scholars through the digitization of manuscripts and libraries, but also looks at the limitations of digital Bibles in their current forms. What new areas of research do the digital humanities open up for us?

Quantitative Approaches

This book’s conclusion explores the persistence of intellectual anxieties related to mathematics in current debates over computational and quantitative approaches to humanistic inquiry known as the digital humanities. The digital humanities offer broader access to cultural and aesthetic products and new insights into their composition, circulation, and interrelations. And yet those skeptical of the digital humanities—akin to Horkheimer and Adorno’s criticism of the Logical Positivists—accuse digital humanists of uncritically yielding to business and science, objecting that reorienting the humanities around technology and code forfeits politics and language, history and critique. Negative mathematics offers a third way for the humanities to move between naïve positivism and critical rejectionism. Drawing on Scholem, Rosenzweig, and Kracauer, this third way finds in mathematical-computational approaches to negativity new ways to retain the silences of marginalized ideas and erasures of minoritarian experiences in historical and aesthetic thought.

Isabel Galina is a researcher at the Instituto de Investigaciones Bibliográficas, a research institute for bibliographic studies at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM. The university is also home to the Biblioteca Nacional, Mexico’s national library. Isabel Galina discusses the emergence of digital humanities and her views on how DH works within this particular structure and related issues to do with understanding national bibliographical collections in the digital age, in particular regarding e-legal deposit and digital preservation. She discusses the difficulties in identifying, selecting, and incorporating born-digital materials. In the interview, Isabel Galina also describes how she got involved in DH, the creation of the Red de Humanidades Digitales (RedHD), and other DH developments in Mexico and Latin America. Finally, the conversation examines university and government support for DH as well as a look at DH works in Mexico in collaboration with other countries, and in particular hosting the international Digital Humanities conference in Mexico City in 2018.
