Lori Emerson from Reading Writing Interfaces From the Digital to the Bookbound, University of Minnesota Press, 2014. Chapter One “Indistinguishable from Magic: Invisible Interfaces and Digital Literature as Demystifier,” Chapter Two “From the Philosophy of the Open to the Ideology of the User-Friendly,” Postscript: The Googlization of Literature” (163-184).
We will also read a series of short pieces in the Debates book that explicitly or implicitly engage in what we may wish to call interface critique.
from Debates in the Digital Humanities:
Chapter 9 “Blunt Instrumentalism: on Tools and Methods” Tennen
Chapter 10 “Putting the Human Back into the Digital Humanities: Feminism, Generosity, and Mess Lost,” Wernimont, Wexler and Wu
Chapter 13 “Why We Must Read the Code: The Science Wars, Episode IV” Marino
Chapter 21 “Pedagogies of Race: Digital Humanities in the Age of Ferguson”
As you know from previous chapters in Debates, these are shorter, accessible, position-oriented essays, so this should be an invigorating way of thinking about Emerson’s argument in different contexts and as a way of brainstorming for your upcoming Arduino project.
