Subject: humanities computing in an Institute of Science and
Technology
Dear Humanists,
Let me present the following scenario to you: a university is planning to
become an institute of science and technology where the humanities are
supposed to accompany the development in a critical way (impact on society,
ethic, envi- ronment etc.). Traditional linguistics and literature would
not really have a place, but languages would have to play a role in terms
of internationalisation.
Given this background my questions are:
Would this be the moment to bring humanities computing in and in which way?
Are there similar scenarios of which humanities computing is a part and how
does it work?
What sort of courses are you teaching and with which philosophy?
Which arguments did you use when you where pushing for humanities computing?
I am looking forward to your contributions
Elisabeth
