ABSTRACT
In a digitised and interconnected world, can one recover the oral, the direct and the analogue? Who can be known across digital spaces? How do we ask them to present their worldview or want, desire, or discomfort to us, and in what ways in which these can be (re)presented?
Digital tools create many ways of seeing, knowing and communicating, and in the process contribute to new modes of distributing resources, ideas and information, and new interfaces for interaction among diverse human communities.
Awareness of the two aspects of digital humanities, the computational and qualitative intangible approximates of human life, allows us to design and engage with human diversity in an open and transparent way. A locally engaged digital humanities programme, located at the intersection of digital practice and human diversity, can also interrogate the abilities and constraints of methodological tools.
