Slide with title Digital Humanities for a World Unmade, blue background with stylized images of a Dutch windmill, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Hagia Sofia, Big Ben, and the Singaporean lion.

Here's a write-up of my keynote from #DH2025, since academic publishing is slow and this was written for right now. roopikarisam.com/talks-cat/dh...

RR: Minimal computing not as a technology or a method, but as a mode of thinking. #DH2025

@roopikarisam.bsky.social is giving a great keynote on multiple fronts, but I really appreciate her calling out the tendency towards going for the latest shiny new toy for analysis just bc it’s new versus solid, traditional methods that work and may be more practical and sustainable #DH2025

Removing content and moving to static sites remain popular solutions. "Those in charge of infrastructure are also determining, particularly in the long term, the scholarly worth of a project, whether it should remain online, and in what form." Shameless plug: books.sup.ac.uk/sup/catalog/... #dh2025

Hearing from Jessica Otis at @rrchnm.bsky.social about their monumental effort to reduce technical debt and figure out what to do with several DH projects since 2014. Similar situation was faced by MITH and @kingsdigitallab.bsky.social among others. #dh2025

So much amazing information in this session on TEI and digital editions, I can barely keep up with listening, much less summarizing here! Read these abstracts, you won't be sorry! www.conftool.pro/dh2025/index...

LP-07. What Happens When "Hacking" Becomes Easy? Teaching Python in 2025

Filipa Calado, Patrick Smyth, Stephen Zweibel, Rafael Davis Portela

also this was a fun *final* response from an agentic AI, as reported by Stephen Zweibel, CUNY #dh2025

Really interesting session about teaching programming in 2025.
"It feels harder to not use AI in 2025"
"Using AI slips you into a mindset of scarcity" (as if the world wasn't already abundant)
"You need technical literacy to get results"
"We're becoming more code readers than code writers"

Narrator: Sadly, the DH project ran out of grant funding before meaningfully returning to infrastructure. #DH2025

Hello from #DH2025

In more publishing news, this article I co-authored with @epyllia.bsky.social Helena Bermúdez-Sabel ans @janellejenstad.bsky.social just came out as well. Very #TEI specific, but it has fun literary examples in it journals.openedition.org/jtei/5705

It's 2025 and I just removed JQuery from the TEI Guidelines 😅 as part of the new (of course multi-authored) TEI release tei-c.org/release/doc/...

New project alert! I'm joining forces with Prof Beliaeva Solomon at UMD French to work on a digital edition of a 19th c. global antislavery periodical. It'll be TEI-powered and all-static with long term preservation front and center. More info: arhu.umd.edu/news/assista...

Till Grallert identifies minimal computing principles as a way to counter issues such as linguistic imperialism -- but as means to an end: minimal computing as _meaningful_ computing #teimec23

Searching through transliterated text is equally frustrating giving the variety of standards combined with uneven "normalization" to ASCII for indexing. #teimec2023

Photo of Till Grallert with in the background a slide showing the many Unicode combinations for the workd "Meccan"

At his #teimec23 keynote, Till Grallert explains how there are 32 possible Unicode combinations for writing "Meccan" -- they all look the same to human eyes, but they don't coincide for computers! Searching becomes challenging or impossible. It often depends on the keyboard you have in front of you

@jamescummings.bsky.social has been teaching TEI starting with the "abstract model" and by directing students to roma.tei-c.org first. Someone from the audience highlights how this can help non-English speakers to learn TEI, before digging into the more intimidating English-only Guidelines #teimec23

Relatedly, Kiyonori Nagasaki points out the need for publishing a _print_ book introduction to the TEI was a necessary step to gain recognition of TEI in the wider Japanese speaking academia #teimec23
