• Title: Post-Digital Humanities: Computation and Cultural Critique in the Arts and Humanities
• Authors: David M. Berry,
• Abstract summary: The historical distinction between the digital and the non-digital becomes increasingly blurred. Just as the ideas of online or being online have become anachronistic as a result of our always-on smartphones and tablets and widespread wireless networking technologies, so too the term digital perhaps assumes a world of the past.

• Abstract: Today we live in computational abundance whereby our everyday lives and the environment that surrounds us are suffused with digital technologies. This is a world of anticipatory technology and contextual computing that uses smart diffused computational processing to create a fine web of computational resources that are embedded into the material world. Thus, the historical distinction between the digital and the non-digital becomes increasingly blurred, to the extent that to talk about the digital presupposes an experiential disjuncture that makes less and less sense. Indeed, just as the ideas of online or being online have become anachronistic as a result of our always-on smartphones and tablets and widespread wireless networking technologies, so too the term digital perhaps assumes a world of the past.

  In the domains of science and engineering that are relatively simple and firmly grounded in theory, these methods are indeed powerful. The rise of big data and machine learning pose new challenges to computation, while lacking true explanatory power. In the long-term, renewed emphasis on analogue methods will be necessary to temper the excessive faith currently placed in digital computation.
