项目摘要

The Digital Humanities are important. They are a mechanism for interrogating and contributing to digital transformation. But just as that transformation has often reproduced or intensified inequalities, so has DH. Through a series of workshops, this project will develop an approach that confronts and challenges these limitations to DH's positive impact on society and culture. Drawing on intersectional feminism, its goal is to build an inclusive and responsive DH able to grapple with complex social needs.DH responds to digitally driven transformations of society, culture, and knowledge production. It can allow us to research differently, identify what is at stake as we change ourselves and our world. We can respond to contemporary concerns that digital technologies are toxic by exploring new forms the digital could take and by building new understandings of digital possibilities. But to do this successfully, inclusively, and to its full potential, we have to change technological cultures. That means we have to change DH. In response to these concerns, our network explores feminist thinking as a necessary resource for DH; not an add on but something that needs to be intrinsic. Feminist approaches are needed to shape DH so it can respond to structural inequality beyond its boundaries. DH needs intersectional feminism to develop practices with these inequalities in mind. Much has already been achieved within DH, but not enough. By building a network of concerned practitioners, we seek to create a DH sensitive to gender issues in the academy and beyond; one that can intervene in the cultural industries, work with communities, respond to new media forms and share new practices. This matters now and for the future. A sustained engagement with the politics of technology means feminist thinking is well placed to explore questions raised by artificial intelligence, increasingly lively algorithms, and machine learning as they develop. An intersectional feminist framework offers a set of lenses and new models to critique the practices, policies and objects produced by existing and future DH projects. Our network gathers a diverse range of theorists, practitioners, scholars at all career stages, digital librarians, technicians, artists and archivists to explore how to build a different - and better - technology-gender relation. Our activities cross the following challenge areas:Coding and Programming Praxis: Data injustice is part of a larger formation including the devaluing of women's labour in tech industries and in the academy. These injustices shape the nature of coded objects and the practices of coding. We will explore these inequalities in Ireland and the UK through critical coding workshops, performance and collaborative writing work. Intersectional Feminist Theory: Intersectional feminism can conceptualize emerging forms of digital scholarship as new technologies challenge traditional assumptions (of authorship, ownership, mastery, explainability, memory, the archive). We ask what feminist theory is needed today and how we can build it. Feminist Digital Methods: How do feminist and critical interventions into the digital disrupt hegemonic practices (e.g. community archives, decolonizing projects, coding initiatives)? How do we generate these disruptions and what and how can DH learn from these?These questions will be explored in a series of 3 workshops, a collaborative writing project and a public talk. We will produce a manifesto to guide DH to more inclusive and critical futures, develop new research projects, and build a community of critical practitioners and scholars.

数字人文很重要。它们是一种询问和促进数字化转型的机制。但是，正如这种转变经常复制或加剧不平等一样，DH也是如此。通过一系列研讨会，该项目将开发一种方法来面对和挑战DH对社会和文化的积极影响的这些限制。其目标是利用交叉女权主义，建立一个能够应对复杂社会需求的包容性和响应性DH。DH响应数字驱动的社会，文化和知识生产变革。它可以让我们进行不同的研究，确定当我们改变自己和世界时，什么是危险的。我们可以通过探索数字技术可能采取的新形式和建立对数字可能性的新理解来回应当代对数字技术有毒的担忧。但要成功地做到这一点，包容性，并充分发挥其潜力，我们必须改变技术文化。这意味着我们必须改变DH。为了回应这些问题，我们的网络探索女权主义思想作为DH的必要资源;不是附加的，而是需要内在的东西。需要女权主义的方法来塑造DH，使其能够应对其边界之外的结构性不平等。卫生部需要交叉的女权主义来制定考虑到这些不平等的做法。在卫生部内部已经取得了很大成就，但还不够。通过建立一个有关从业人员的网络，我们寻求在学院内外建立一个对性别问题敏感的卫生部;一个可以干预文化产业，与社区合作，应对新媒体形式和分享新做法的卫生部。这对现在和未来都很重要。与技术政治的持续接触意味着女权主义思想能够很好地探索人工智能、日益活跃的算法和机器学习所提出的问题。一个跨部门的女权主义框架提供了一套镜头和新的模式来批评现有的和未来的DH项目产生的做法，政策和对象。我们的网络聚集了各个职业阶段的理论家、实践者、学者、数字图书馆员、技术人员、艺术家和档案管理员，探索如何建立不同且更好的技术与性别关系。我们的活动跨越了以下挑战领域：编码和编程实践：数据不公正是一个更大的形成的一部分，包括在科技行业和学术界贬低妇女的劳动力。这些不公正塑造了编码对象的性质和编码的实践。我们将探索这些不平等在爱尔兰和英国通过关键的编码研讨会，性能和协作写作工作。交叉女权主义理论：交叉女权主义可以概念化新兴形式的数字奖学金，因为新技术挑战传统的假设（作者，所有权，掌握，可解释性，记忆，档案）。我们问今天需要什么样的女权主义理论，以及我们如何建立它。女权主义数字方法：女权主义和批评性干预如何破坏数字霸权的做法（例如社区档案，去殖民化项目，编码倡议）？我们如何产生这些破坏，卫生署可以从中学到什么？这些问题将在一系列的3个研讨会，一个合作写作项目和一个公开演讲中进行探讨。我们将制定一份宣言，引导卫生署走向更具包容性和批判性的未来，开发新的研究项目，并建立一个批判性实践者和学者的社区。
