When Humanities Become Digital: Philosophy and Algorithm
Philosophy and Algorithm
Abstract
Based on the concept of the cyberpunk librarian, we attempt to offer a cartography of the digital humanities in an attempt to move towards the defense of information as a public good in which access to it is a priority. In this paper, we consider that the Digital Humanities, beyond possible methodological, ontological and epistemological implications; we must identify all possible ethical, aesthetic and political issues that these humanities may contain.
