The article for today, \u201cDeveloping Things: Notes toward an Epistemology of Building in the Digital Humanities\u201d, was extremely interesting to me. It is discussed whether or not digital humanities is considered \u201cscholarship\u201d or not which I went back and forth on myself throughout reading. At first, I thought it should of course be considered scholarship because of the level of skill and complication that goes into digital work, but the middle of the article changed my mind a bit, saying \u201cRepairing cars requires a high level of technical skill; the intellectual nature of chess is beyond dispute; mining coal is backbreaking work. No one confuses these activities with scholarship.\u201d This is very true, and sets up a possible thought in my head that the digital work should not at all be discredited for its difficulty or impressiveness, but it may just not fall under the category of \u201cscholarship\u201d. However, the internet defines the word scholarship with \u201c<\/span>academic study or achievement; learning of a high level\u201d, which makes me think it should be able to fall under that category. I went back and forth a few times, and still am unsure what my opinion is, but I would like to read more on arguments about this question. <\/span><\/h2>\n

I thought it was interesting that fellow classmate \u201cTB\u201d noted that <\/span>\u201cit just seems that whatever point they are arguing has little effect on what the results of any research would be\u201d. I agree with this and lack the knowledge of why this question is so relevant, if it does not affect any of the data or analysis in these works. <\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
