Each spring the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities gathers together friends and alumni to explore a topic through a humanities-and-arts lens. This year, “Log On to the Humanities: How New Technologies Expand the Humanities and How They Don’t” takes its lead from the institute’s just-completed Year of Digital Humanities. We explored profound shifts in scholarly practice, book publication, partnership across vast distances, changes in the global flow of knowledge, and relations between the humanities and the arts that have been emerging courtesy of the technological revolution. These changes expand the possible horizons of the humanities for a young generation and are here to stay. But they also bring the danger of flash over focus, tweet over narration, attention deficit over close scrutiny, and the aesthetics of absorption. Featuring digital artist Paul Kaiser, U-M School of Information faculty Finn Brunton, and former U-M Press director Phil Pochoda. Visit our website for complete details.
