The Digital Orientalist
The Digital Orientalist
This website is run by a dedicated team of scholars, librarians, and
students. We share our experience using digital tools in the Humanities,
especially as it relates to our day-to-day workflow.
Our name, The Digital Orientalist, may raise an eyebrow. We
are all fully aware of the contentious meaning of ‘Orientalism’ and its
relation to colonialism. We are of the opinion that enough years have
gone by to pick this name up again, to convey in one word the relation
between our fields of studies. In this sense we mirror similar
initiatives like The Digital Classicist, The Digital Medievalist, The Digital Humanist,
etc. As diverse as our fields of studies are, when it comes to digital
solutions, there are many shared aspects. We therefore think we stand to
benefit from talking to each other, to learn of best practices in other
fields.
