DHARTI 2022 Conference The Digital Divides: Discontents, Debates andDiscussions Is the digital in the amorphous series of binary numbers on shapeless online clouds or in the submarine transatlantic cables that provide the offline infrastructures enabling our social, political, economic and networked materialities? The ubiquity of the word digital, however, has not allowed us to reach … Continue reading DHARTI2022 Call for Papers
DHARTI Speaks!
Chapter 2 Digital humanities methods have seen increasing adoption both globally, and in non-textual media. While some DH approaches, such as the creation of digital “archives” (understood in many different ways) and “editions”, have been comparatively easy to translate into different cultural and institutional contexts, computational textual analysis is often seen as a bastion of … Continue reading DHARTI Speaks!
Nirmala Menon on marrying technology and the humanities
It is difficult to put a finger on a moment as the beginning of my interest in Digital Humanities- but maybe sometime around the writing of my dissertation in 2009- a postcolonial inquiry about canons and canon making in the discipline. However, life and tenure track sets its own priorities and directions but the interest … Continue reading Nirmala Menon on marrying technology and the humanities
Siddhartha Chakraborti on his DH Journey
Any personal journey into a growingly universal medium and mode of living, which is what the Digital in an overarching and permeating manner has proven itself to be, becomes a monologue of the ‘self’ as a protagonist, that must be (and will be) read only with suspicion. We must be able to move from the … Continue reading Siddhartha Chakraborti on his DH Journey

One of the insights that emerged from this work was the need for … Continue reading Arjun Ghosh: On conferences, political communication and DH
Maya Dodd: DH Through History, Archives and more
During graduate school I took a course called The Wired Historian which opened my eyes to the possibilities of technology for archiving. Subsequently as I worked on the Indian Emergency of 1975-77, a relatively recent historical event, the paucity of sources underlined the need to digitize the materials to make them accessible to a wider … Continue reading Maya Dodd: DH Through History, Archives and more
DH is a collective journey: Dibyadyuti Roy
Trying to craft a personal journey for DH (especially in India) is difficult since from Day Zero, I have seen it as a collective journey. If pressed for a year, I would say that my journey with Indian DH began in 2013 when as a PhD student from the US, I was part of a … Continue reading DH is a collective journey: Dibyadyuti Roy
