Johanna Drucker at NEH Vectors institute
The NEH-Vectors seminar "Broadening the Digital Humanities" just wrapped up at USC's Institute for Multimedia Literacy last week. One of the highlights for me was Johanna Drucker's talk on the role of design in the digital humanities. Drucker has been an inspiration to me for many years via her work with SpecLab at the University of Virginia and their work with computational literature that goes far beyond conventional text encoding to imagine literary game spaces (e.g., the Ivanhoe project). This video presents Drucker's setup to a much longer talk about the potentials of creating an online research and publication space that would take advantage of all the affordances of networked scholarship.
