>From the site:--
Every day the urge grows stronger to get hold of an object at very close
range by way of its likeness, its reproduction. --Walter Benjamin, 1936
The book examines the relationship of distance and knowledge in the
context of new technology. The book also discussed What is knowledge? What
can we know? What should we rely on as evidence?
Some of the confirmed contributors are Albert Borgmann, Hubert Dreyfus,
and many others.
Enjoy the reading on above site!
Kind Regards
Arun Tripathi

What's all the Hype in Hypertext About?
A Humanities Computing Colloquium
10-11 March 2000
University College Dublin, Ireland
Sponsored by the Computer Science English Initiative
Digital technologies are changing the way we teach and conduct
research. It changes the ways in which our students acquire
information, and challenges the power structures of traditional
publishing.
What's all the Hype in Hypertext About? provides delegates with an
opportunity of examining how the newer technologies are changing
humanities teaching and research. Invited speakers examine the
theoretical, pedagogical and interpretative dimensions, as well as
the challenges, opportunities, and limitations of this multi-
disciplinary genre. The colloquium is designed for those with little
experience of humanities computing as well as those already
working with digital technology. It begins on Friday evening, 10
March at 7:30, and continues on Saturday, 11 March. On Friday
10th an optional pre-colloquium workshop provides a hands-on
introduction to the basics of humanities computing. For further
details, including registration, see
