“…Vanhoutte (2010) pone mucho menos énfasis en el componente crítico, describiendo la interfaz como "un conjunto de medios por los que el usuario puede interactuar con el texto, los comentarios y los materiales auxiliares". Ken Price (2008) entiende el componente científicoacadémico de la ECD como "el establecimiento de un texto sobre principios explícitos", pero admite que la proliferación moderna de repositorios digitales ha cambiado el significado del término para incluir aspectos tanto de la archivística como de la edición. Pierazzo también considera que la distinción entre repositorios -colecciones de textos presentados de forma acrítica-y ECD -es decir, críticas-no se ha confirmado en la práctica (2015a: 210).…”

Cuando ya la etiqueta “Humanidades Digitales” empieza a parecer un pleonasmo para algunos, como antes fue la astronomía y la astronomía digital, mientras a otros se les aparece aún como la gallina de los huevos de oro, es tiempo, más que nunca, de observar atentamente la transparencia y señalar todos los colores de la tecnología que tiñen cualquiera de nuestras prácticas epistémicas cotidianas. Molesta hacer notar que “digital” rima con “comercial” por fuera y por dentro, como también “tecnología” con “ideología” y “crítica” con “política” (gobierno de la polis). Nuestros estudiantes nos dicen que ese análisis no es profesionalizante… Otros, que la investigación nada tiene que ver… Nosotros trabajamos por construir una conciencia mediática en la era digital: desde las aulas y desde las pantallas, con análisis en silencio y a gritos. Por eso leemos siempre con atención las palabras de Domenico Fiormonte y ahora en este libro que retoma y actualiza algunos de sus grandes temas de reflexión: las construcciones epistémicas del Sur, la codificación como hermenéutica, la edición científica digital, el elogio y alabanza de una filología digital. Y es que “veinte años no es nada”, pero vingt ans après es necesario hacer balance de las promesas incumplidas por las llamadas Digital Humanities, más aún cuando se convierten de forma automática en “Humanidades Digitales” como imitación (simiesca), pura angustia de legitimación colonial, o más bien “hipercolonial”. El giro global de la big tent de las H.D. se inclina hacia el Norte: sus estándares resultan benéficos cuando ofrecen la posibilidad de la interoperabilidad y el intercambio, pero funcionan como una forma más o menos evidente de imposición cultural. Obediencia o exclusión.

“…An electronic scholarly edition has been defined as “the establishment of a text on explicitly stated principles and by someone with specialized knowledge about textual scholarship and the writer or writers involved. An edition is scholarly both because of the rigor with which the text is reproduced or altered and because of the expertise brought to bear on the task and in the offering of suitable introductions, notes, and textual apparatus” (Price, 2008). We assume that the establishment of the text (our transcription) has all the elements required in a scholarly edition.…”

Finding support for disruption: developing a digital humanities project in Mexico

Purpose -This paper seeks to provide a description and reflection on some of the structural problems and challenges faced when developing a digital humanities (DH) project in a Mexican public university. Design/methodology/approach -As DH is a relatively new field and practice in Mexican academia, this article is based on a case study of developing the Biblioteca Digital de Pensamiento Novohispano (Digital Library of New Hispanic Thought). This is one of the few DH at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), the largest public university in the country. Findings -It was found that there were three central problems for developing a DH project in a Mexican public university: existing technical knowledge and abilities at the UNAM will be challenged by DH projects; projects are the place to train human resources in DH methodology; and researchers need to consider different long-term infrastructure and hosting solutions, with or without using institutional infrastructure, at the same time researches need to work within the institution to establish a specific policy for research projects. Practical implications -The paper concludes that the structure, goals and products of DH projects need to be modified and expanded in order to also consider alternative goals and products such as: proposals of institutional policy, creation of infrastructure and academic and student training. DH projects must be regarded as disruptive, that is that the project needs to assume rupture as a part of the project itself. Originality/value -The experience of innovation and disruption is not necessarily the same in all fields and all institutions. This article documents for the first time the particular experiences of a public university in a developing country with DH projects. It has been found that the delay in using computers in the humanities in Mexico has led to the development of a specific paradox: a gap between institutional interest and disposition in the use of computers in humanities, and the lack of DH culture in those who have to develop the project.

“…While transitions of works from print to digital have been discussed, especially with regards to preserving and making accessible archival documents (Bornstein, 2011;Burns, 2014;Flanders, 1997;Hayles, 2005;Price, 2008), as has the growing convergence between digital and physical productions (Rowberry, 2020), the movement of digital works to print copies has not to my knowledge been explored. Similarly, while some studies have considered the nature of versioning and survival across technological changes in digital literature (Kirschenbaum, 2002), few discuss the consequences of porting.…”

Reproduce and adapt: Homestuck in print and digital (Re)Incarnations

Homestuck is a hypermediated webcomic adventure that tells its story through music, animation, gameplay and even the structural features of its Web site interface. But it has also been 1) published in print as a book series and 2) ported to a new host to preserve content that used Flash Player, which is now obsolete. Both print publication and digital port simultaneously reproduce and recreate the first iteration of Homestuck – that is, they do and do not adapt it. This article uses adaptation theory to approach the under-researched question of the transition of a work from a digital format to print and porting. It identifies key sites of adaptation in what might otherwise be called versions and discusses the consequences of changes in medium/mode. The article highlights areas where the interactive mode must be adapted to showing or telling and explores how new interactive modes can emerge from a codex. It argues that Homestuck’s metafictional narratives in particular must be adapted in these new versions because they arise from an interactive relationship with the reader. Because the earlier webcomic has now been wholly replaced by the port, understanding these changes as adaptation allows us to see what is at stake the preservation of digital-born works. Homestuck’s versions show adaptation theory to be a vital lens for understanding the consequences of the differences that arise when multimedia digital-born works are reproduced with other technologies, an occurence that will only grow more frequent over time.
