New Media, Technology, and the Humanities
A Conference at UC Irvine, Friday-Saturday, February 17-18, 2006
135 Humanities Instructional Building
Given the growing importance of digital technologies in contemporary culture, the humanities should be well positioned to offer perspectives on cultural communication. The fast pace of technical innovation, as well as the rapid development of academic disciplines relating to individual media or to discourse on media, also pose a challenge to the humanities.
