Research Without Borders: Defining the Digital Humanities April 6, 2011
Digital humanities scholars are a diverse group whose work is the result of cross-pollination among humanities scholarship, computer science, and digital media. Many well-known digital humanities projects apply tools borrowed from computer science—such as data-mining or geographic information systems—to works of literature, historical documents, and other materials traditionally in the domain of the humanities. What do digital humanities scholars see as the potential of this interdisciplinary field? And what are the important theoretical and methodological contributions digital humanities can offer to both the humanities and the sciences Panelists: Daniel J. Cohen, Assoc. Professor of History and Director of the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University. Federica Frabetti, Senior Lecturer in the Communication, Media, and Culture Program at Oxford Brookes University. Dino Buzzetti recently retired from the Dept. of Philosophy at the University of Bologna.
Risk and Humanities
Darwin College Lecture Series 2010. "Risk and Humanities". Professor Mary Beard (Cambridge). Was there risk before modernity? This lecture explores how we might tell the ancient history of risk—from oracles (an ancient form of risk assessment) through gambling and agricultural strategies to the parade of Luck and Chance in sculptural form. In Greece and Rome (and other pre modern societies) is it misleading to think in terms of risk? Is it more helpful to ask simply, What did people worry about?—a question to which we find some surprising answers. At the same time, there is another agenda underlying this lecture: an exploration of the risks facing research and teaching in the Humanities. What do academics need to be worried about today and for the future? The lecture will include the first consultation of the Oracles of Astrampsychus for many centuries. Biography Mary Beard is one of Britains best-known Classicists Fellow of Newnham College and a distinguished Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge where she has taught for the last 25 years. She has written numerous books on the Ancient World, including the 2008 Wolfson Prize-winner, Pompeii: The Life of a Roman Town which portrays a vivid account of life in Pompeii in all its aspects from food to sex to politics. Previous books include The Roman Triumph, Classical Art from Greece to Rome and books on the Parthenon and the Colosseum as part of a series on wonders of the world. Her interests range from the ...

The Yanomami tribe of the Amazon Rainforest are an important case study for the Culture and Beliefs module of GCSE Humanities. The Yanomami are a tribe who lived until recently without contact with the outside world. Now their world is threatened by gold miners, their pollution, their way of life and their diseases. The Yanomami norms and values are very different to those we hold in the developed world, as the video shows, young boys play with bows and arrows to learn how to hunt, and an entire village lives together in one Maloka or communal hut.

Three years after the near collapse of global financial markets, America is still struggling with unemployment, debt, and foreclosure, European governments are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy—and the world's billionaires are getting richer faster than ever before. The current situation is not sustainable. But what changes need to be made to overcome this mounting crisis of our world economic system? How radical an adaptation will be required?

Colson Whitehead: How to Write and the Art of Writing
chicagohumanities.org - See more Chicago Humanities Festival events. A treat for readers and writers alike, Colson Whitehead, author of such fictional dazzlers as Sag Harbor (2009) and Apex Hides the Hurt (2006), reads from his parody how-to anthology, How to Write and the Art of Writing Writers Write About Writing. As Whitehead touches on everything from writers block to the perfect sentence, from Saul Bellow to TS Eliot, he proves that writing is a sport without rules. His collection of essays, alternately based on real people or written under pseudonym, is funny and provocative. Whitehead, a master performer, enhances his reading selections with animated storytelling.

Humanity's Expression
As the pace of change in the world accelerates and more and more people are waking up in a spectacular global awakening out of the illusion thrust upon us since birth, we may find that some people are too far gone down the false-rabbit hole consciousness to ever truly wake up. So many of us work for the powers that be; so many of us consider ourselves the resistance. There will be friction, but good always wins in the end over tyranny. Never lose the belief that what we are doing is right. We must wake up as many people as possible. Nothing is more beautiful than the truth. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT Man's struggle for freedom is one of the greatest tests and gifts we have as a sentient species. Nothing feels as good as fighting the good fight. Some things really are worth life itself. An ideal, a belief, and a love. The resistance is now. You are free. - The cveitch channel Thrusting a rusty sword into the bowels of evil since May 2009
