About This Book
Across more than twenty chapters, Future Horizons explores the past, present, and future of digital humanities research, teaching, and experimentation in Canada. Bringing together work by established and emerging scholars, this collection presents contemporary initiatives in digital humanities alongside a reassessment of the field's legacy to date and conversations about its future potential. It also offers a historical view of the important, yet largely unknown, digital projects in Canada. Future Horizons offers deep dives into projects that enlist a diverse range of approachesâfrom digital games to makerspaces, sound archives to born-digital poetry, visual arts to digital textual analysisâand that work with both historical and contemporary Canadian materials. The essays demonstrate how these diverse approaches challenge disciplinary knowledge by enabling humanities researchers to ask new questions.The collection challenges the idea that there is either a single definition of digital humanities or a collective national identity. By looking to digital engagements with race, Indigeneity, gender, and sexualityânot to mention history, poetry, and nationhoodâthis volume expands what it means to work at the intersection of digital humanities and humanities in Canada today.Available formats: trade paperback, accessible PDF, and accessible ePub
