Defining Digital Humanities By What It Is Not

[AI Summary]: Filadelfia Soto, a doctoral student at UVA pursuing a Digital Humanities certificate, explores the field through negation rather than traditional definition. She argues that DH is not a single discipline but a multidisciplinary approach; not a replacement for human researchers but a complement to scholarly inquiry; not a one-person endeavor but requires teamwork; and not the indiscriminate use of computers but purpose-driven technology applied when solving specific research problems. The post acknowledges DH’s resistance to fixed definitions and invites ongoing dialogue about the field’s evolving boundaries.
