The Scale of Time: Rereading and Rethinking A Companion to Digital Humanities
摘要: 二十年前,《数字人文指南》(2004)集结了一群年轻学者们讨论、回顾和审视同样年轻的摘数字人文历史,由此创造了数字人文发展史上里程碑式的著作。它直面当时新兴领域的混沌迷雾,以600多页的谋篇布局呈现了跨学科理论和实践活动,新的学术生产、传播和策展过程等丰硕成果为数字人文学科的初学者和研究者提供了宝贵的理论支持和实践经验。文章重理《数字人文指南》重要思想,纵向勾连《新数字人文指南》(2016),发现西方数字人文十余年间在数据库、建模和机器人诗学等方面既有延续又有延展;继而对比《中国数字人文发展报告》(第一辑),发现中西方数字人文在数字学术、可视化和文化遗产等问题的探讨中和而不同,且中国数字人文研究在界面设计与美学问题上还有所忽略。
Abstract: Twenty years ago, A Companion to Digital Humanities (2004) brought together a group of young scholars to discuss, review, and examine the still-young history of Digital Humanities, creating a landmark work in the field’s development. Confronting the chaotic fog of the emerging discipline at the time, the book, with over 600 pages, presented interdisciplinary theories and practical activities, including new processes of academic production, dissemination and curatorship, offering valuable theoretical support and practical experience for both beginners and researchers in Digital Humanities. This article re-examines the key ideas in A Companion to Digital Humanities, linking them longitudinally to A New Companion to Digital Humanities (2016), and finds both continuity and extension in Western digital humanities over the past decade, particularly in areas such as Databases, Modeling, and Robot Poetics. It then compares these developments with The China Digital Humanities Development Report (Volume 1), revealing differences between Chinese and Western digital humanities in their discussions on digital scholarship, visualization, and cultural heritage. Furthermore, the article highlights that Chinese Digital Humanities research still neglects issues of interface design and aesthetics.
