Living in the Archival Moment: by Puthiya Purayil Sneha — published Dec 14, 2015 — last modified Jun 30, 2016 05:08 AM — filed under: Digital Knowledge, Mapping Digital Humanities in India, Research, 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 fifth among seven sections.
