One. Zero.: by Nishant Shah — published Sep 17, 2012 — last modified Apr 24, 2015 11:50 AM — filed under: Researchers at Work, Information Technology, Digital Natives
The digital world is the world of twos. All our complex interactions, emotional negotiations, business transactions, social communication and political subscriptions online can be reduced to a string of 1s and 0s, as machines create the networks for the human beings to speak. So sophisticated is this network of digital infrastructure that we forget how our languages of connection are constantly being transcribed in binary code, allowing for the information to be transmitted across the web.

P.P. Sneha - Mapping Digital Humanities in India: by Puthiya Purayil Sneha — published Dec 30, 2016 — last modified Dec 31, 2016 05:56 AM — filed under: Higher Education, Digital Knowledge, CIS Papers, Digital Humanities, Education Technology, Mapping Digital Humanities in India, Digitisation, Digital Scholarship, RAW Research, Researchers at Work
It gives us great pleasure to publish the second title of the CIS Papers series. This report by P.P. Sneha comes out of an extended research project supported by the Kusuma Trust. The study undertook a detailed mapping of digital practices in arts and humanities scholarship, both emerging and established, in India. Beginning with an understanding of Digital Humanities as a 'found term' in the Indian context, the study explores the discussion and debate about the changes in humanities practice, scholarship and pedagogy that have come about with the digital turn. Further it inquires about the spaces and roles of digital technologies in the humanities, and by extension in the arts, media, and creative practice today; transformations in the objects and methods of study and practice in these spaces; and the shifts in the imagination of the ‘digital’ itself, and its linkages with humanities practices.
