Vakinhoudelijk
In this course, digital humanities – as a field that encompasses a humanities-informed approach that entails studying digital media and technology, engaging with processes of digital media production, practice and analysis – is approached through its entanglements with questions of subjectivity, identity, communities, knowledge, power, discourse, and cultural norms. These issues are addressed by introducing students to important conceptual tools and to hands-on engagement with the digital tools developed within what has been named the ‘computational turn’ in the humanities: quantitative and qualitative data analysis tools, network analyses and data visualizations and data management and textual analysis software.
The module specifically addresses how, in the study of cultural-social-geo-political phenomena (e.g., racialised and gendered algorithmic processing by governments or corporations, biometric surveillance, digital migrant and diasporic communities, online activism, distribution of human rights, transnational knowledge exchanges, development NGOs’ enterprises), the use of big data, the visualization of complex information, infrastructures and the workings of algorithms and large databases are increasingly becoming (1) a source of concern and (2) powerful tools to access and affect knowledges on a global scale.
Aanvullende informatie
The course offers the possibility to engage with cutting-edge scholarship in the digital humanities, which is helpful for shaping the students' future research profile on the academic job market and beyond.
