A Glossary of DH Terms, in process…
-Computation: the act, process, or method of computing (https://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=computational)
-Computational device: also called “digital” device (Berry 1)
-Computationality: related to third wave of “digital humanities” (Berry 4); the transformation of information through computational techniques (Berry 5); an ontotheology (Berry 16)
-Computational medium:
-Computational technology:
-Digital humanities: research mediated through digital technology (Berry 1); the first wave was quantitative, mobilizing the search and retrieval powers of the database, automating corpus linguistics, stacking hypercards into critical arrays; the second wave is qualitative, interpretive, experiential, emotive, generative in character. It harnesses digital toolkits in the service of the Humanities’ core methodological strengths: attention to complexity, medium specificity, historical context, analytical depth, critique and interpretation (Berry 2-3); environments and tools for producing, curating, and interacting with knowledge that is ‘born digital’ and lives in various digital contexts, also called the second wave or “Digital Humanities 2.0” (Berry 3); tentative third wave: concentrated around the underlying computationality of the forms held within a computational medium (Berry 4)
-Digital humanities 2.0: environments and tools for producing, curating, and interacting with knowledge that is ‘born digital’ and lives in various digital contexts
-Digital humanist:
-Digital mediation:
-Digital scholar:
-Digital technology:
-Episteme: subtractive measures of understanding reality (Berry 2)
-Humanities computing: in the early days were often seen as a technical support to the work of the ‘real’ humanities scholars, who would drive the projects (Berry 2)
-Mediation:
-Object mediation: the process in which an object is translated into digital code that -Representation:
-Techne: new knowledges and methods for the control of reality (Berry 2)
-Technological infrastructure:
