The speakers for Digital Humanities 2009 have been announced. And what a refreshing change to the Digital Humanities agenda. The first is Lev Manovich, Professor of New Media at UCSD, who wrote the brilliant ‘Language of New Media’ back in 2001. And the second is Chrsitine Borgman, Professor of Information Studies at UCLA who wrote Scholarship in the Digital Age: Information, Infrastructure, and the Internet (in my mind one of the most critical and scholarly enquiries into the CyberInfrastructure movement).
Also check out Lev’s new book ‘Software takes command‘ that he has generously released online for free (although the online formatting is appalling (it isn’t written for the medium; I can’t wait for the physical book) plus his web site needs a good re-build. What do others think?
