"While digital humanists develop tools, data and metadata critically ... rarely do they extend their critique to the full register of society, economics, politics, or culture." -- Alan Liu, Where Is Cultural Criticism in the Digital Humanities?
As exemplified in the above quote, the subject of digital humanities intersection with cultural theory has been the subject of heated online discussions, conference panels, various publications, Twitter wars and more. Today’s talks considers some variations on this ongoing debate in the digital humanities around the role of cultural theory within the digital humanities and its close analogs, in order to argue for a theoretically explicit form of digital praxis within the digital humanities.
