we can anticipate the direction of critical studies to be radically altered by the sheer size of the economic stakes implied by a new kind of text, the industrial text which lies at the centre of an information society.

He develops a topology of computer games and a theory, based on Bakhtin's poetics of the novel, that views them as rhetorical artifacts well-suited for critical study.

She surveys the shift from humanist, to anti-humanist, to posthumanist assumptions in literary critical circles and questions whether today's computing environments can still be approached through late twentieth century anti-humanist theories or whether electronic texts demand new, media-specific analyses.

Drawing on contemporary performance theory, literary criticism, and communication theory, he proposes that technologists, academics, and artists are developing idiomatic rhetorics to explore the technical and expressive properties of the new "language machines" and their hypertextual environments.

Presentation: What is DH and A New Computer Assisted Literary Criticism.

4 points

He correctly points out that the computer can only augment the critics' judgment, not replace it, but he makes a convincing case that such augmentation is of value.

He succinctly expresses a division of literary critical and scholarly work into two chief categories: what he terms "Lower Criticism," which is chiefly textual and bibliographical in nature, and "Higher Criticism, “which is typified by interpretive studies.

He explores the notion of the "performance crux"- a moment, puzzling to the director and actors, that calls for some kind of stage business to justify or explain action - in the surviving texts of many of Shakespeare's plays.

she continues concern with the scholarly electronic edition, beginning with the observation that the majority of literary archives in electronic form within have been conceived more as digital libraries than disquisitions that utilise the medium as a site of interpretation- tracing this situation to the underlying philosophy of texts and textuality

11. Which of the following are the reasons given by Matthew G. Kirschenbaum to explain what is DH doing in English Departments?

5 points

English teachers are techno-friendsly

The widespread means to implement electronic archives

Reading world literature in English has widened mental horizons of English literature teachers and students

we see the simultaneous explosion of interest in e-reading and e-book devices like the Kindle, iPad, and Nook and the advent of large-scale text digitization projects, the most significant of course being Google Books

The openness of English departments to cultural studies, where computers and other objects of digital material culture become the centerpiece of analysis.

a modest but much-promoted belle-lettristic project around hypertext and other forms of electronic literature that continues to this day and is increasingly vibrant and diverse

There is the long association between computers and composition, almost as long and just as rich in its lineage

After numeric input, text has been by far the most tractable datatype for computers to manipulate. Unlike images, audio, video, and so on, there is a long tradition of text-based data processing that was within the capabilities of even some of the earliest computer systems and that has for decades fed research in fields like stylistics, linguistics, and author attribution studies, all heavily associated with English departments.
