Notes

1 I use the term essay here somewhat uneasily. I am not sure there is a good term yet for the kinds of multi-textual documents we will produce in place of the traditional scholarly essay as academic publishing evolves within the digital realm.

2 The Digital Humanities is a key area of research and experimentation at the intersection of traditional humanities research and computing/technology. It is not a unified field but it does offer a range of interesting modes of scholarship as well as critical writing on how synergies are evolving in this area. Key journals include: Digital Humanities Quarterly, Southern Spaces, and Journal of Digital Humanities.
