Digital Humanities and Performance

Hi, I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Performance Studies. I am currently working on a project about performance practices and politics in the Americas. This project has a hemispheric focus and I am developing it on a platform called “Scalar.” I am interested on how the digital humanities and new technologies of networked scholarship and culture allow us to go back to issues about live, embodied culture and archives, how to interrelate different epistemic systems such as written, oral and now the digital. In what ways can the semantic web help us to demonstrate a conceptualization of the Americas as a terrain of interrelated performance practices. So, my take on the digital humanities is around questions of performativity, memory, and event, as well as explorations on new forms of scholarship alongside archives. Looking forward to our conversation tomorrow!
