SUMMARY:What’s Digital About Digital History?
DESCRIPTION:We talk a lot about “the digital” or “digital humanities” but r
 arely stop to ask what “digital” really means in this context or how the di
 gitality of the digital computer might explain its unique trajectory from o
 bscure scientific instrument in the 1940s to the underpinning of almost eve
 ry social interaction and business process in the 2010s. Prof. Haigh sketch
 es a new approach to the history of computing centered on these questions a
 nd engaged with the tools of STS and media theory. The aim is to ground the
  emerging field of digital studies in a historically responsible conception
  of digitality, beginning with the core affordance of digital reading and s
 howing how this underpins later developments such as algorithmic control, m
 odularity, and layered protocols. This builds on his work with the Media of
  Cooperation project at Siegen University, the collection Exploring the Ear
 ly Digital (2019) and a current project Becoming Digital.\n\nThomas Haigh i
 s a Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee and Comen
 ius Visiting Professor for the History of Computing at Siegen University in
  Germany. He is the lead author of ENIAC in Action (MIT, 2016) and the edit
 or of Histories of Computing (Harvard, 2011) and Exploring the Early Digita
 l (Springer, 2019). Read more at www.tomandmaria.com/tom.\n\nThe conference
  will be moderated by Valérie Schafer (C²DH).
