A Critique of Digital Humanities

This lecture delves into the theoretical focus on culture's autonomy, the shift in normative meaning, and the impact on cognition. It explores Immanuel Kant's 'Copernican turn' and the concepts of 'Digital Hermeneutics', 'Beyond Expression', and 'Data Work vs Interpretation'. The discussion extends to the critique of computational and cultural aspects in Digital Humanities, emphasizing the complexities of data exploration and statistical methods in literary studies.
