In advance of class, please read the following excerpts below in the enumerated order. There are 3 multi-page excerpts from Felski, Levine, and Morgan & Morrison. I’ve attached those pdfs to an email. Each pdf includes only the pages that you need to read.
1) “The phrase hermeneutics of suspicion is often used in philosophy and literary theory. [Paul Ricouer] describes it as an overly powerful mechanism for suspecting others, which is what we do when we believe we know more than others do.”
Alison Scott-Baumann. Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Suspicion. (2009)
2) Rita Felski The Limits of Critique. (2015) pages 15-18. See PDF attached to email.
3) Jonathan Gottschall “Measure for Measure.” Boston Globe 2008

4) excerpt from Alan Liu. “Imagining the New Media Encounter.” In A Companion to Digital Literary Studies, ed. Susan Schreibman and Ray Siemens. Oxford: Blackwell, 2008. http://www.digitalhumanities.org/companionDLS/
5) We pair “digital” with “humanities” and feel we have something revolutionary, but for our undergraduate students the word “digital” is profoundly unimpressive. […]In my teaching and my scholarship, I have become increasingly convinced that DH will only be a revolutionary interdisciplinary movement if its various practitioners bring to it the methods of distinct disciplines and take insights from it back to those disciplines.”
Ryan Cordell. “How Not to Teach Digital Humanities” in Debates in the Digital Humanities. (2016)
6) “Introduction.” Caroline Levine. Forms: Whole. Rhythm, Hierarchy, Network. (2015). See PDF attached to email.
7) Morgan and Morrison. Models. (26-28) See PDF attached to email.
