Digital Humanities 2014 Conference Keynotes Streamed live 8 - 11 July 2014

Four keynote speakers at the Digital Humanities 2014 conference had their presentations live-streamed:

* Bruno Latour
* Ray Siemens
* Bethany Nowviskie
* Sukanta Chaudhuri

The talk, entitled 'Communities of Practice, the Methodological Commons, and Digital Self-Determination in the Humanities' considered the Digital Humanities positive role in the process of the Humanities (digital) self-determination, in the context of trends shaping and influencing change in the Humanities and the cultures of the university.

Keys issues included, the important (and profitably-elusive) process of defining 'Digital' Humanities; foundational notions of the methodological commons and communities of practice, and the ways in which these originate, are fostered, are engaged, and themselves engage; and the value of an open approach to current and future work on modelling humanistic data and process, in ways that build on these foundations to embrace the communities and constituencies served by the Humanities.
