Welcome to Introduction to the Digital Humanities! In this course, we will explore just a few of the many topics and practices in the diverse, complex and rapidly changing field of the digital humanities. We’ll think critically about the digital artifacts we consume, produce, and share, while learning digital production and analytic skills in relation to literary examples. The central objectives of the course are to apply humanities questions to digital media, and to apply digital methods to literary texts, with a main focus on the image, digital storytelling, textual analysis, and artificial intelligence. At the same time, we will examine the ethical and methodological issues that arise from using digital tools and methods in the humanities within a global context.
