Description

For over a dozen years, the Vectors Lab has experimented with digital scholarship through its online publication, Vectors, and through Scalar, a multimedia authoring platform. The history of this software lab intersects a much longer tale about computation within the humanities, in addition to tensions concerning the role of theory in related projects.

Tara McPherson considers debates across the role of cultural theory inside the digital humanities and addresses Gary Hall’s claim that the goals of very important theory and of quantitative or computational analysis could also be irreconcilable (or on the very least require “way more time and care”). She then asks what it will mean to design―from conception―digital tools and applications that emerge from contextual concerns of cultural theory and, in particular, from a feminist concern for difference. This path leads back to the Vectors Lab and its ongoing efforts on the intersection of theory and praxis.
