Intersections: Feminism, Technology and Digital Humanities

数字人文很重要。它们是一种审问和促进数字转型的机制。但是，就像这种转变经常复制或加剧不平等一样，DH也是如此。通过一系列的工作坊，这项计划将制定一种方法来面对和挑战这些限制，以实现卫生署对社会和文化的积极影响。基于跨部门的女权主义，它的目标是建立一个包容和反应迅速的卫生署，能够应对复杂的社会需求。卫生署回应数字驱动的社会、文化和知识生产的变革。它可以让我们以不同的方式进行研究，在我们改变自己和我们的世界时识别出什么是危险的。我们可以通过探索数字技术可能采取的新形式，通过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。但为了成功地、包容地和充分发挥其潜力，我们必须改变技术文化。这意味着我们必须更改DH。为了回应这些担忧，我们的网络探索了女权主义思想，将其作为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性别平等，这样它才能对超越其边界的结构不平等做出回应。卫生署需要跨界别的女权主义，以发展考虑到这些不平等的做法。卫生署已经取得了很大成就，但还不够。通过建立一个关注从业者的网络，我们寻求在学院内外创建一个对性别问题敏感的卫生署；一个能够介入文化产业、与社区合作、回应新媒体形式和分享新做法的卫生署。这对现在和未来都很重要。对技术政治的持续参与意味着，随着人工智能、日益活跃的算法和机器学习的发展，女权主义思维处于有利地位，可以探索它们提出的问题。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和未来的卫生署项目产生的做法、政策和目标。我们的网络聚集了各种不同的理论家、实践者、所有职业阶段的学者、数字图书馆员、技术人员、艺术家和档案员，以探索如何建立不同的-更好的-技术-性别关系。我们的活动跨越以下挑战领域：编码和编程实践：数据不公正是更大形式的一部分，包括在技术行业和学术界贬低妇女劳动。这些不公正塑造了编码对象的性质和编码实践。我们将通过关键编码研讨会、性能和协作写作工作来探索爱尔兰和英国的这些不平等。交叉女权主义理论：交叉女权主义可以概念化新兴的数字学术形式，因为新技术挑战传统假设(作者身份、所有权、掌握程度、可解释性、记忆力、档案)。我们问，今天需要什么样的女权主义理论，我们如何才能建立它。女权主义数字方法：女权主义和对数字的批判性干预如何破坏霸权实践(例如，社区档案、非殖民化项目、编码倡议)？我们如何产生这些干扰，卫生署可以从中学到什么和如何？这些问题将通过一系列的3个工作坊、一个合作写作项目和一个公众讲座来探讨。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，发展新的研究项目，并建立一个批判性从业者和学者社区。

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.
