Talk 7 in the Digital Humanities Series
Talk Title:
The Tibetan Himalayan Digital Library: Digital Humanities and New
Approaches to Area Studies
Speaker:
David Germano,
Associate Professor of Tibetan and Buddhist Studies, University of
Virginia
When:
Thursday, March 13, 2008; 4:00pm
Where:
Barker Center, Room 133
Abstract:
How does digital technology enable new practices and visions in the
humanities? What would happen if universities and colleges took to
heart distributed knowledge production and publication in this
context? What social reconfigurations of the Academy might be
brought into being through use of such technologies? David Germano
will discuss experiments relying upon texts, visualizations, spatial
representations, audio-video, social networking and more in relation
to Tibet as a base to discuss emergent answers to these questions in
the field of digital humanities.
