Abstract
Abstract:Black digital humanities, or Black DH, is less an easily defined field and more a practice or a call to study: how we read, how we think, and how and why we become invested in supporting the ongoing anti-Black systems of the world. In this article, longtime Black DH collaborators Liz Murice Alexander and Kimberly Bain reflect on Black DH's conscientiousmissuses of technology and traditional technoculture. They move from Samuel Delany's Afrofuturist formulations to Alexander's myweakframe digital essay project to think through the work of building new worlds: new spaces, new archives, new collectives for Black thought.
期刊介绍:
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
