DHARTI 2022 Conference The Digital Divides: Discontents, Debates andDiscussions Is the digital in the amorphous series of binary numbers on shapeless online clouds or in the submarine transatlantic cables that provide the offline infrastructures enabling our social, political, economic and networked materialities? The ubiquity of the word digital, however, has not allowed us to reach […]

Chapter 2 Digital humanities methods have seen increasing adoption both globally, and in non-textual media. While some DH approaches, such as the creation of digital “archives” (understood in many different ways) and “editions”, have been comparatively easy to translate into different cultural and institutional contexts, computational textual analysis is often seen as a bastion of […]

It is difficult to put a finger on a moment as the beginning of my interest in Digital Humanities- but maybe sometime around the writing of my dissertation in 2009- a postcolonial inquiry about canons and canon making in the discipline. However, life and tenure track sets its own priorities and directions but the interest […]

Any personal journey into a growingly universal medium and mode of living, which is what the Digital in an overarching and permeating manner has proven itself to be, becomes a monologue of the ‘self’ as a protagonist, that must be (and will be) read only with suspicion. We must be able to move from the […]

I started DH as an M.A. student in 2001 researching digital games and storytelling. Having faced much academic ostracism back then, it is heartening to see the interest in gaming cultures and (the) digital humanities, today. I completed my MPhil on videogames and narratives from Jadavpur University in 2005 (being probably the videogames researcher from […]

I have a keen interest in studying political communication through cultural texts. In my doctoral dissertation and my first book I explored the experiences of one of India’s most active theatre groups who have been practicing street theatre for almost five decades. One of the insights that emerged from this work was the need for […]

During graduate school I took a course called The Wired Historian which opened my eyes to the possibilities of technology for archiving. Subsequently as I worked on the Indian Emergency of 1975-77, a relatively recent historical event, the paucity of sources underlined the need to digitize the materials to make them accessible to a wider […]

Trying to craft a personal journey for DH (especially in India) is difficult since from Day Zero, I have seen it as a collective journey. If pressed for a year, I would say that my journey with Indian DH began in 2013 when as a PhD student from the US, I was part of a […]
