| Title: | Durkheim's imperative: The role of Humanities faculty in the information technologies revolution |
| Author(s): | Jones, Robert Alun |
| Subject(s): |
Humanities research
Information technology |
| Abstract: | The arrival of powerful information technologies in the traditional humanistic disciplines has done far more than simply add to the tools available for research and instruction. Those who have embraced these technologies have also experienced a significant disruption of their traditional roles within the academy, producing confusion and disorientation as well as excitement and innovation. Some of the reasons for this confusion are discussed, and one example of two "restabilized" roles for humanities faculty the work of the Advanced Information Technologies Group at the University of Illinois is described. The conclusion explores some of the advantages of this new kind of division of intellectual labor. |
