Or, again, there was Michel de Certeau’s “practice of everyday life,” which envisioned a “tactical” active reader analogous to a jaywalking pedestrian taking it on his own authority to walk a path different from any official A to Z.

rebalancing the weights of the nodes in the core circuit so that the previous value placed on what Foucault called the “author function” diminished.

Why not give readers Web-input pages similar to those used by authors so that they can write more fluently into the identical database, thus effectively allowing readers to become prolific commentators and actual coauthors?

About the time of the 2000 dot-com bust, it dawned on a new generation of Web application developers that the data architecture I have called Web 1.5 could be tapped in new ways.

when a reader clicked on a link to request content, an output template, or theme page—actually, a clustered series of files with HTML for Web formatting, scripting code for talking to databases, cascading style sheets for fine-tuning layout and styling, and JavaScript for active client behaviors—extracted material from the database, formatted it on the fly in the predesigned template, and delivered the overall construction to the reader.2

no actual crossing on the early Web between the roles of author and reader, because the information delivery system partitioned those roles from each other, leaving any change in the reading act quarantined at the reader’s station.

the reader using a personal computer acquired an unprecedentedly active role, as envisioned by such early hypertext theorists as George Landow,

same messiness and doubt that make the complexities of concepts like race, gender, class, and culture most immediately relevant also remind us that the products of our technologies, our devices, always fall short of our perceived notions of the real or the authentic.

“the need to ‘bridge’ a gap between automated computational analysis and interpretive reasoning that must make allowances for doubt, uncertainty, and/or multiple possibilities”

binary between “old” (i.e., human) versus “new” (i.e., computational) practices

because the underlying patterns are difficult to discern with close reading.

ask why we as close readers have found some patterns and yet left others undiscovered.

understanding why a pattern occurs and determining whether it is one that offers insight into a text requires technologies of self-reflective inquiry.

we are constantly met with interfaces (such as the card catalog) that reflect real structures with real people (with all of their quirks and fallibilities and imaginative wonderfulness) in real institutions reminds us how material and constructed (how situated) is the context in which the reader accesses and analyzes cultural content with text analysis, data mining, and visualization methodologies.

any database is the result of an interface between a person and an archive:

an ex-static archive, of an archive not assembled behind stone walls but suspended in a liquid element behind a luminous screen; the archive becomes a virtual repository of knowledge without visible limits, an archive in which the material now becomes immaterial. (ii)

computer-assisted methodologies such as text analysis, visualizations, and data mining are just such tools, but they often provide the view the magnifying glass gives the user when he or she turns it upside down. These methodologies defamiliarize texts,

self-consciousness, access, and collaboration in humanist inquiry as technologies.

Unsworth, John M.

Liu poses a challenge to digital humanities scholars to show how these methodologies—which Franco Moretti and others have called “distant reading”—compare with and contribute to more traditional close reading practices (27).

scholars should and do neglect using digital applications that aid interpretation because most of these tools seem too objective or deterministic—digital tools seem to take the “human” (e.g., the significance of gender, race, class, religion, sexuality, and history) out of literary study.

but then what’s the point?

The annotations scrolling down the right-hand margin tempt the reader (or at least they tempted me) to focus on them rather than the main text,

But the already-annotated text doesn’t leave much space for other kinds of encounters.

The general problem of the language of interpretive “keys” is that it imputes a singular, settled meaning to a text.

Some of my favorite moments in the text were when the annotations gave tonal cues, like “laugh at this. It’s a joke.”

it also short-circuits the kind of intensive or “close” reading traditionally valued in literary studies.

what kind of reading experience and engagement do texts like these, in their already-annotated state, engender? On the other, what kind of a reading practice does this process of annotation model and make evident?

Essentially, this is a move from thinking about tech tools as finished products to thinking about them as dynamic components of our pedagogical processes

Open pedagogy uses OER as a jumping-off point for remaking our courses so that they become not just repositories for content, but platforms for learning, collaboration, and engagement with the world outside the classroom.

In this sense, knowledge is less a product that has distinct beginning and end points and is instead a process in which students can engage, ideally beyond the bounds of the course.

OER because the technology

Instead, we should start with a vision for our courses and curricula, and then identify the technologies or strategies that can help us achieve or further develop that vision.

As Austin, Texas-based pediatrician Ari Brown wrote in her best-selling book Toddler 411, sandboxes are an excellent place for kids to catch pinworms, because pinworms cause kids’ butts to itch; then they scratch their butts, getting pinworm eggs on their fingers; then they build sandcastles studded with worm eggs.

Once a child eats them, the eggs hatch in his or her body into larvae, which can burrow into the liver, lungs, central nervous system, or eyes.
