Digital Humanities Exam With Complete Solutions Latest UpdateDigital humanities - correct answers The intersection of digital tools (videos, images, archives, maps) with the
humanities, using technology to answer humanities questions. In the best cases, the two fields bring there
differences together to create a bigger field than the two usually separated entities. We can expect there to be
a tension between "the digital" and "the humanities," but ideally, it's a productive tension.
humanities - correct answers deals with the study of what makes us human, which encompasses art, culture,
communication, morals, and philosophy.
sources - correct answers raw materials, including files, images, texts, and sounds, used in the course of
research
processing - correct answers getting your source into a computer and making it analysable (computationally
tractable)
presentation - correct answers How do you present all the stuff that you've done to your sources. The design
or other digitized work, the "face" that the viewer (or listener) encounters
, narrative - correct answers The story used to convey a set of information. Many stories are possible in the
telling of history. Narrative forms the connective tissue between facts and documents.
positivism - correct answers Within the discipline of history, the belief that the truth of a matter is something
that can be objectively and tangibly quantified. Michel-Rolph Trouillot objects to an entirely positivist
approach because telling history involves a process of selection, and that process of selection involves power.
constructivism - correct answers Within history, the notion that truth is constructed by a community over time
and via a diversity of methods. The meaning we attribute to what happens. Michel-Rolph Trouillot critiques
constructivism because sometimes the people telling the story won't understand their own power biases, and
it's important to him as a moral issue that certain events took place.
archive - correct answers A collection of records (representations of human activity that travel across time and
space).
community archive - correct answers An archive that is put together outside of traditional institutional
authorities. Institutional authorities might be motivated by goals that aren't consistent with the community
being documented. A way for communities to retain their own control over records while also preserving
them.
