THE DIGITAL HUMANITIES: BEYOND COMPUTING
edited by Federica Frabetti

The field of the digital humanities embraces various scholarly 
activities in the humanities that involve writing about digital media 
and technology as well as being engaged in digital media production. 
Perhaps most notably, in what some are describing as a ‘computational 
turn’, it has seen techniques and methods drawn from computer science 
being used to produce new ways of understanding and approaching 
humanities texts. But just as interesting as what computer science has 
to offer the humanities is the question of what the humanities have to 
offer computer science. Do the humanities really need to draw so heavily 
on computer science to develop their sense of what the digital 
humanities might be? These are just some of the issues that are explored 
in this special issue of Culture Machine.
