Digital Humanities Initiative

The CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (CUNY DHI), launched in Fall 2010, aims to build connections and community among those at CUNY who are applying digital technologies to scholarship and pedagogy in the humanities. All are welcome: faculty, students, and technologists, experienced practitioners and beginning DHers, enthusiasts and skeptics.

We meet regularly on- and offline to explore key topics in the Digital Humanities, and share our work, questions, and concerns. See our blog for more information on upcoming events (it’s also where we present our group’s work to a wider audience). Help edit the CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide, our first group project. And, of course, join the conversation on the Forum.

  • Wed, May 2 – Limited Definition(s) and Sound Cultures: MP3s, Soundscapes, Power

    Posted by Matthew K. Gold (he/him) on April 28, 2012 at 12:36 pm

    Hi All,

    Members of this group might be interested in this talk next week:

    May 2, 2012, 6:30pm | The James Gallery

    Limited Definition(s) and Sound Cultures: MP3s, Soundscapes, Power
    Jonathan Sterne, Licia Fiol-Matta

    What does the world’s most popular format for recording tell us about human history? What are the connections between the history of sound and the defining features of modernity, from developments in medicine, physics, and philosophy to the tumultuous shifts of industrial capitalism, colonialism, urbanization, modern technology, and the rise of a new middle class? Join Jonathan Sterne (Department of Art History and Communication Studies, McGill University) and Licia Fiol-Matta (Latin American and Puerto Rican Studies, Lehman College, CUNY) as they explore the history and culture of sound and its relationship to twentieth century media and technology.
