Steven E. Jones is DeBartolo Chair of Liberal Arts and Professor of Digital Humanities at the University of South Florida.
"Situated at the intersection of videogame studies, textual
studies, and digital humanities research, The Emergence of the
Digital Humanities is bold and exciting. Jones ties together
disparate strands of digital culture in a coherent way, helping us
to understand not only the present situation but also future
technological change." —Mark Sample, George Mason University "This
engaging book brings us the humanities everted, rendered
inside-out, attending critically to everyday life in a mixed
reality. Digital and physical materials converge as Jones carefully
unfolds the curious dimensions of games, maps, books, and other
media. A must-have for anyone new to or already familiar with
digital humanities." —Jentery Sayers, Department of English,
University of Victoria"An inspired, wide-ranging look at the
current state of the digital humanities—essential reading for
anyone interested in the past, present, and future of the field."
—Matthew K. Gold, City Tech and CUNY Graduate Center, Editor of
Debates in the Digital Humanities"I believe [Steve] Jones’s The
Emergence of the Digital Humanities to be a—perhaps the—fundamental
text on DH. As someone who has been part of the digital humanities
since my arrival as a Brittain Fellow at Georgia Tech in 2009, I
can say that no other book has so—I’ll say it—uncannily explained
my own experience and thinking to me. This book is a true gift, and
anyone interested in or concerned about the digital humanities
should read it." —Roger Whitson"The book's resistance to meditate
at length on the boundaries and definitions of DH, and instead
focus on the near historical contexts from and around which DH
emerged, is its greatest triumph." —Dr. James Baker, Reviews in
History"The Emergence of the Digital Humanities provocatively maps
the larger trajectory of digital humanities research and more
recent kinds of new digital humanities work. Jones maps the
"eversion" that characterizes our everyday lives, exploring the
metaphorical and material implications of the networks that
surround us. His book brings new insights about the networks that
make up our culture, our commerce, and our creativity." —Danny
Anderson, Dean, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of
Kansas"Jones’s book is an insightful and useful introduction to the
digital humanities. Jones explores the topic through a wide range
of examples that those familiar with media and video game studies
will recognize, but he also articulates his analysis through a
number of relatable objects like virtual maps, CAPTCHAs, and social
networks that thosewhoare new to media and technology studies can
relate to. He writes withanacute attention to the intersections of
technologyandculture, centering his analysis on the structural
metaphors that have shaped human understanding and the
incorporation of technology in our everyday lives." —Jessica Rudy,
