Bookwatch

What lies "under the hood" of a scholarly book? This special edition of FACULTY BOOKWATCH - a series cosponsored by the Franklin Humanities Institute and Duke Library - seeks to explore the rapidly transforming knowledge ecosystem in humanities research, teaching, and publishing. The archives remain as important as they ever have been, but they may be mined in new ways, or visited in new clusters of global sites. Research may engage not only with manuscript or print textual culture, but also with social media and other ephemeral communications. And as digital humanities become integrated into humanities work, digital dimensions of monograph projects may predate the book, and develop their own mode of influence. Join us for a Bookwatch on three distinctive Duke faculty projects that exemplify the dynamic possibilities of humanities scholarship today.
