The Digital and the Human(ities) Texas Institute for Literary and Textual Studies 2010-2011 Lars Hinrichs & Matt Cohen, Co-directors, Nicole Gray, Coordinator
Contact: Andrea Golden, [email protected] TILTS 2011, Symposium One: Access, Authority, and Identity This symposium will focus on the threshold concepts of access, authority, and identity in the electronic mediation of humanness. What do innovations in the digital provision of access and maintenance of authority mean for human identity, and conversely, what do new ideas about, and forms of, identity mean for our evolving norms of access, authorship, and authorization? A number of high-visibility electronic experiments in radical access and the reconfiguration of authority have now come – and many have gone. What have we learned, and in what ways have these experiments changed humanities conversations broadly? All events are free and open to the public. http://tilts.dwrl.utexas.edu/symposia/i Friday, February 4, 2011 All panels will be held in University Teaching Center 4.124 9:30 - 10:00 a.m., coffee and snacks available 10:00 - 11:30 a.m., Session 1: Roundtable: What is Digital Humanities?
