Exploring the intersections of digital humanities and African diaspora studies  

How can scholars use digital tools to better understand the African diaspora across time, space, and disciplines? And how can African diaspora studies inform the practices of digital humanities? These questions are at the heart of this timely collection of essays about the relationship between digital humanities and Black Atlantic studies, offering critical insights into race, migration, media, and scholarly knowledge production.

The Digital Black Atlantic spans the African diaspora’s range—from Africa to North America, Europe, and the Caribbean—while its essayists span academic fields—from history and literary studies to musicology, game studies, and library and information studies. This transnational and interdisciplinary breadth is complemented by essays that focus on specific sites and digital humanities projects throughout the Black Atlantic. Covering key debates, The Digital Black Atlantic asks theoretical and practical questions about the ways that researchers and teachers of the African diaspora negotiate digital methods to explore a broad range of cultural forms including social media, open access libraries, digital music production, and video games. The volume further highlights contributions of African diaspora studies to digital humanities, such as politics and representation, power and authorship, the ephemerality of memory, and the vestiges of colonialist ideologies. 

Grounded in contemporary theory and praxis, The Digital Black Atlantic puts the digital humanities into conversation with African diaspora studies in crucial ways that advance both.

Описание: Coined by Kimberle Crenshaw in the late1980s, intersectionality makes the case thatdimensions of identity, such as gender andrace, cannot be understood in isolation fromeach other because they work together toshape lived experience. As digitalhumanities has expanded in scope andcontent, questions of how to negotiate theoverlapping influences of race, class, gender,sexuality, nation, and other dimensions thatshape data, archives, and methodologieshave come to the fore. Taking up theseconcerns, the authors in this volume explore their effects on the methodological, political,and ethical practices of digital humanities.Essays examine intersectionality from arange of positions: the influence ofoverlapping identities on scholars within thedigital humanities community; how the fieldsin which they work are subject to competingtensions created by intersecting powerstructures within digital humanities andacademia; and the methodologicalpossibilities and scholarly potential forintersectionality as a framing theory in digitalhumanities scholarship.
