Interesting article on the digital humanities movement in the New York Times today. Check out the following link (or read the hard copy in the “Arts” section):
Basically, the argument is that technology has stimulated a revolution comparable to what occurred in the late 19th and early 20th century, and is moving scholarship toward a “post-ideological” age that will focus less on theory and more on evidence and data. Something to consider, wherever you stand on the issue.
