- Jerome McGann – one word to rule them all and in the darkness bind themI am about the text – theories of textual scholarship – about editing and display – about theories of knowledge creation and dissemination – about the ‘META’ what work does the text do in the world, how can I expose it ?– how can ‘explode’ my years of learning and scholarship about texts so for the benefit of others?
- Representation and writing is codified – bibliographic codes organise our attention – almost 2 millennia of the codex form of the book have trained our ways of thinking, our eyes and minds - expect a paragraph to yield a natural break – the screen however is different… as those who have spent millions developing Kindles, Nooks and other ereaders will tell you…
- My early work in textual scholarship, palaeography,codicology –book history… being a medievalist in fact really equips you well for a role as a DH – if you take psychology’s definition of understanding it is the apprehension of objects in their context – we are all new historicists… context, history, art, architecture, literature all inform our understanding of culture… Here is a A multimedia event – physical computing – taking the most innovative “new’ technology we know that by the early 7th century they had seen and copied the Codex Amiatinus a luxury book from the Mediterranean period --- this is political a statement of power – open data, team, collaborative work – and we are still interpreting it … that is the challenge

But on to 3D and newer forms of reading and representation
- Plato and Socrates – the Socratic dialogues accessible through writing – Socrates said that writing was not a legitimate ‘Son of Knowledge’ but that argument – working through thesis antithesis and synthesis is the only path to ‘truth’ (another contested term I know…) so that is what DH enables in terms of the scholarship…
