academy, feminist game studies soon followed. The first generation of feminist theory in game studies built on the work of Sherry Turkle, Brenda Laurel, and Janet Murray, although some might argue that the legacy of challenging gender norms in game studies goes back even earlier. Now feminist game scholars organize international conferences, edit journals and scholarly collections, and shape trends in the profession, much as their counterparts in the digital humanities attempt to do, but critics in feminist game studies have been able to take advantage of what is seen as a relatively long trajectory of feminist theoretical inquiry and field development. Articulating a need for a feminist corrective in the digital humanities has come at a much slower pace, perhaps because the instrumentalism of a “tool” seems much less blatantly anti-feminist than the instrumentalism of a gun. Furthermore, calls to action from more radicalized forms of feminist approaches to science and technology studies have been noticeably absent in the literature around digital information retrieval in the humanities. This issue of <cite class="italic">DHQ</cite> indicates that a sea change may finally be taking place. </span></span><span class="Z3988" title="url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fzotero.org%3A2&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=What%20can%20the%20digital%20humanities%20learn%20from%20feminist%20game%20studies%3F&rft.jtitle=Digital%20Humanities%20Quarterly&rft.stitle=DHQ&rft.issn=1938-4122&rft.date=2015-09-02&rft.volume=009&rft.issue=2&rft.aulast=Losh&rft.aufirst=Elizabeth&rft.au=Elizabeth%20Losh"> </span></div> <div class="articleInfo" style="margin:0 0 1em 0;"><span class="monospace">[en] </span><a href="/dhq/vol/9/2/000208/000208.html">Beyond the Margins: Intersectionality and the Digital Humanities</a><div style="padding-left:1em; margin:0;text-indent:-1em;">Roopika Risam, Salem State University</div><span class="viewAbstract">Abstract <span class="viewAbstract monospace" style="display:inline" id="abstractExpanderabstract000208en"><a title="View Abstract" class="expandCollapse monospace" href="javascript:expandAbstract('abstract000208en')">[en]</a></span><span style="display:none" class="abstract" id="abstract000208en"> This article examines the relationship between intersectionality and the digital humanities. Intersectionality offers a critical approach to debates between theory and method in the field, transcending simplistic hack vs. yack binaries. This article situates debates over difference in the digital humanities within the context of the culture wars within the U.S. academy during the 1980s and 1990s, locating the stakes for diversity in the digital humanities. It surveys digital humanities projects, outlining the need for alternate histories of the digital humanities told through intersectional lenses. Finally, the article proposes ways of looking forward towards the deeper intersectional analysis needed to expand intellectual diversity in the field and move difference beyond the margins of the digital humanities. </span></span><span class="Z3988" title="url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fzotero.org%3A2&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=Beyond%20the%20Margins%3A%20Intersectionality%20and%20the%20Digital%20Humanities&rft.jtitle=Digital%20Humanities%20Quarterly&rft.stitle=DHQ&rft.issn=1938-4122&rft.date=2015-09-02&rft.volume=009&rft.issue=2&rft.aulast=Risam&rft.aufirst=Roopika&rft.au=Roopika%20Risam"> </span></div> <div class="articleInfo" style="margin:0 0 1em 0;"><span class="monospace">[en] </span><a href="/dhq/vol/9/2/000209/000209.html">#transform(ing)DH Writing and Research: An Autoethnography of Digital Humanities and Feminist Ethics </a><div style="padding-left:1em; margin:0;text-indent:-1em;">Moya Bailey, Northeastern University</div><span class="viewAbstract">Abstract <span class="viewAbstract monospace" style="display:inline" id="abstractExpanderabstract000209en"><a title="View Abstract" class="expandCollapse monospace" href="javascript:expandAbstract('abstract000209en')">[en]</a></span><span style="display:none" class="abstract" id="abstract000209en"> My research highlights the networks contemporary Black trans women create through the production of digital media and in this article I make the emotional and uncompensated labor of this community visible.

Drawing on the scholarship about the culture of the Wikimedia suite of projects, and the gendered trolling experienced by members of our team in the production of the Social Edition of the Devonshire Manuscript in Wikibooks, and interviews with our advisory group, we argue that while the Wikimedia projects are often openly hostile online spaces, the Wikimedia suite of projects are so important to the contemporary circulation of knowledge, that the key is to encourage gender equity in social behavior, credit sharing, and knowledge organization in Wikimedia, rather than abandon it for a more controlled collaborative environment for edition production and dissemination. </span></span><span class="Z3988" title="url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fzotero.org%3A2&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=Enlisting%20Vertues%20Noble%20%26%20Excelent%3A%20Behavior,%20Credit,%20and%20Knowledge%20Organization%20in%20the%20Social%20Edition&rft.jtitle=Digital%20Humanities%20Quarterly&rft.stitle=DHQ&rft.issn=1938-4122&rft.date=2015-09-02&rft.volume=009&rft.issue=2&rft.aulast=Crompton&rft.aufirst=Constance&rft.au=Constance%20Crompton&rft.au=Raymond%20Siemens&rft.au=Alyssa%20Arbuckle&rft.au=Implementing New Knowledge Environment (INKE)%20"> </span></div> <div class="articleInfo" style="margin:0 0 1em 0;"><span class="monospace">[en] </span><a href="/dhq/vol/9/2/000186/000186.html">An Information Science Question in DH Feminism</a><div style="padding-left:1em; margin:0;text-indent:-1em;">Tanya Clement, School of Information, University of Texas at Austin</div><span class="viewAbstract">Abstract <span class="viewAbstract monospace" style="display:inline" id="abstractExpanderabstract000186en"><a title="View Abstract" class="expandCollapse monospace" href="javascript:expandAbstract('abstract000186en')">[en]</a></span><span style="display:none" class="abstract" id="abstract000186en"> In 1986, Susan Harding published <cite class="italic">The Science Question in Feminism</cite> in which she suggests that feminism had moved past questioning “‘What is to be done about the situation of women in science?’” – or first-wave feminist initiatives — to include more women in the work of science. Aspects of the “science question” that consider the politics underlying epistemologies of “purportedly value-neutral claims and practices” resonate for the work (the research, theory, and practices) being done to build information infrastructure in the humanities today — the work that I am defining here as digital humanities work. Reconsidering this work by using the lens of feminist inquiry to understand the concerns common to information science and digital humanities is the perspective I describe here. Specifically, as my title suggests, I am proposing that feminist inquiry can help us articulate and better understand the epistemologies in digital humanities and information science that are shaping the infrastructures we are building and using in the humanities. </span></span><span class="Z3988" title="url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fzotero.org%3A2&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=An%20Information%20Science%20Question%20in%20DH%20Feminism&rft.jtitle=Digital%20Humanities%20Quarterly&rft.stitle=DHQ&rft.issn=1938-4122&rft.date=2015-09-02&rft.volume=009&rft.issue=2&rft.aulast=Clement&rft.aufirst=Tanya&rft.au=Tanya%20Clement"> </span></div> <div class="articleInfo" style="margin:0 0 1em 0;"><span class="monospace">[en] </span><a href="/dhq/vol/9/2/000216/000216.html">Man and His Tool, Again?

Through interviews with digital humanities scholars and academic librarians within the Center for Institutional Cooperation, this study aims to explore some points of common perspective and underlying tensions in research relationships. Qualitative interviews revealed that, while both groups are enthusiastic about the future of faculty-librarian collaboration on digital scholarship, there remain certain tensions about the role of the library and the librarian. Scholars appreciate the specialized expertise of librarians, especially in metadata and special collections, but they can take a more active stance in utilizing current library resources or vocalizing their needs for other resources. This expertise and these services can be leveraged to make the library an active and equal partner in research. Additionally, libraries should address internal issues, such as training and re-skilling librarians as necessary; better-coordinated outreach to academic departments is also needed. </span></span><span class="Z3988" title="url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fzotero.org%3A2&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=The%20Arrival%20Fallacy%3A%20Collaborative%20Research%20Relationships%20in%20the%20Digital%20Humanities&rft.jtitle=Digital%20Humanities%20Quarterly&rft.stitle=DHQ&rft.issn=1938-4122&rft.date=2015-08-07&rft.volume=009&rft.issue=2&rft.aulast=Keener&rft.aufirst=Alix&rft.au=Alix%20Keener"> </span></div> <div class="articleInfo" style="margin:0 0 1em 0;"><span class="monospace">[en] </span><a href="/dhq/vol/9/2/000215/000215.html">Data Assemblages: A Call to Conceptualize Materiality in the Academic Ecosystem</a><div style="padding-left:1em; margin:0;text-indent:-1em;">Nabeel Siddiqui, College of William and Mary</div><span class="viewAbstract">Abstract <span class="viewAbstract monospace" style="display:inline" id="abstractExpanderabstract000215en"><a title="View Abstract" class="expandCollapse monospace" href="javascript:expandAbstract('abstract000215en')">[en]</a></span><span style="display:none" class="abstract" id="abstract000215en"> As the diversity of digital humanities practitioners grows, the need to construct a framework allowing for equal acknowledgement to all involved has become more evident. In this article, I argue that the perceived immateriality of scholarship privileges conventional academic labor over similar pursuits, such as data curation, resulting in them being glanced over and ignored in tenure reviews and job evaluations. To counter this, I create a theoretical framework that places materiality at the forefront. More specifically, I draw on and expand Gilles Deleuze's notion of assemblages, as outlined by new materialist philosopher Manuel DeLanda, to posit the idea of “data assemblages,” which are the result of digital humanities labor and consist of material parts contingent on their contextual relations and always in flux. I use the Digital Public Library as a case study and highlight how the reconceptualization of digital humanities labor moves beyond the merely theoretical to allow us to better understand the interdependency of individuals in the academic ecosystem and has broader implications for the nature of materiality in the digital age. </span></span><span class="Z3988" title="url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fzotero.org%3A2&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=Data%20Assemblages%3A%20A%20Call%20to%20Conceptualize%20Materiality%20in%20the%20Academic%20Ecosystem&rft.jtitle=Digital%20Humanities%20Quarterly&rft.stitle=DHQ&rft.issn=1938-4122&rft.date=2015-08-25&rft.volume=009&rft.issue=2&rft.aulast=Siddiqui&rft.aufirst=Nabeel&rft.au=Nabeel%20Siddiqui"> </span></div> <h2>Reviews</h2> <div class="articleInfo" style="margin:0 0 1em 0;"><span class="monospace">[en] </span><a href="/dhq/vol/9/2/000219/000219.html">Studying Up: A Review of Alice Marwick’s <cite class="italic">Status Update</cite></a><div style="padding-left:1em; margin:0;text-indent:-1em;">Luke Fernandez, Weber State University</div><span class="viewAbstract">Abstract <span class="viewAbstract monospace" style="display:inline" id="abstractExpanderabstract000219en"><a title="View Abstract" class="expandCollapse monospace" href="javascript:expandAbstract('abstract000219en')">[en]</a></span><span style="display:none" class="abstract" id="abstract000219en"> <cite class="italic">Status Update</cite> is an ethnography about Silicon Valley, Twitter, and the way that its residents use Twitter to oil the wheels of late capitalism.

But the review also finds that Marwick has a tendency to “study up.” Her ethnography is so focused on Silicon Valley elites that it ignores how people outside Silicon Valley produce and consume (and tweet about) digital culture. </span></span><span class="Z3988" title="url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fzotero.org%3A2&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=Studying%20Up%3A%20A%20Review%20of%20Alice%20Marwick%E2%80%99s%20Status%20Update&rft.jtitle=Digital%20Humanities%20Quarterly&rft.stitle=DHQ&rft.issn=1938-4122&rft.date=2015-09-01&rft.volume=009&rft.issue=2&rft.aulast=Fernandez&rft.aufirst=Luke&rft.au=Luke%20Fernandez"> </span></div> <h2><a href="/dhq/vol/9/2/bios.html">Author Biographies</a></h2></div><div id="footer"><div style="float:left; max-width:70%;"> URL: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/9/2/index.html<br/> Comments: <a href="mailto:dhqinfo@digitalhumanities.org" class="footer">dhqinfo@digitalhumanities.org</a><br/> Published by: <a href="http://www.digitalhumanities.org" class="footer">The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations</a> and <a href="http://www.ach.org" class="footer">The Association for Computers and the Humanities</a><br/>Affiliated with: <a href="https://academic.oup.com/dsh">Digital Scholarship in the Humanities</a><br/> DHQ has been made possible in part by the <a href="https://www.neh.gov/">National Endowment for the Humanities</a>.<br/>Copyright © 2005 - <script type="text/javascript"> var currentDate = new Date(); document.write(currentDate.getFullYear());</script><br/><a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nd/4.0/80x15.png"/></a><br/>Unless otherwise noted, the DHQ web site and all DHQ published content are published under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License</a>.
