Revisiting Techno-euphoria: by Nishant Shah — published Jul 11, 2012 — last modified Apr 24, 2015 11:53 AM — filed under: Digital subjectivities, Researchers at Work, Digital Natives
In my last post, I talked about techno-euphoria as a condition that seems to mark much of our discourse around digital technologies and the promise of the future. The euphoria, as I had suggested, manifests itself either as a utopian view of how digital technologies are going to change the future that we inhabit, or woes of despair about how the overdetermination of the digital is killing the very fibre of our social fabric.

Digital Humanities in India?: by Puthiya Purayil Sneha — published Nov 12, 2015 — last modified Jun 30, 2016 05:05 AM — filed under: Digital Knowledge, Mapping Digital Humanities in India, Research, Featured, Digital Humanities, Researchers at Work
An extended survey of digital initiatives in arts and humanities practices in India was undertaken during the last year. Provocatively called 'mapping digital humanities in India', this enquiry began with the term 'digital humanities' itself, as a 'found' name for which one needs to excavate some meaning, context, and location in India at the present moment. Instead of importing this term to describe practices taking place in this country - especially when the term itself is relatively unstable and undefined even in the Anglo-American context - what I chose to do was to take a few steps back, and outline a few questions/conflicts that the digital practitioners in arts and humanities disciplines are grappling with. The final report of this study will be published serially. This is the first among seven sections.
