Making Things and Drawing Boundaries: Experiments in the Digital Humanities

Description

Foregrounding the interdisciplinary character of experimental methods and handson research, this collection asks what it means to "make" things in the humanities. Comprising almost forty chapters from ninety practitioners across twenty disciplines, Making Things and Drawing Boundaries speaks directly and extensively to how humanities research engages a growing interest in "maker" culture, however "making" may be defined.

Jentery Sayers is associate professor of English at the University of Victoria.

"Sayers is to be commended for giving space to queer and feminist makers, who are often overlooked in favor of discussions on technological innovations. The essays on the interplay of craft and circuitry highlight how academic institutions need to look beyond monograph and journal publication as keystones to academic careers. This is required reading for those interested in digital humanities and in the intersection of maker culture and academics."-CHOICE
