Referencing at least three of this week’s readings, discuss what is lost and gained, or what is enabled and disabled, when the archive/collection/edition is or goes digital. In other words, what are the implications — conceptual, epistemological, politically, cultural, or otherwise — of the fabrication of these (groups of) artefacts — or the databases that drive them? Note: you may choose to focus your response on a single theme or area of interest, or more exhaustively catalog the implications. Length: about 350 words.
Prompt for Week of 1/28
