The information overload that characterizes our world compels us to develop a more critical and creative approach to how we manage, collect and share information. Wikipedia is one of the most influential and emblematic ways of gathering information and producing knowledge in the digital age.
But how is Wikipedia any different from traditional encyclopedic projects?
In this class we will explore Wikipedia from the inside out, joining its community as editors rather than simply users. Once we are familiar with its inner workings, we will trace the historical roots of Wikipedia, locating it in the constellation of other Western attempts to achieve universal knowledge. This dual approach will not only make visible the hidden assumptions that drive Wikipedia, but also allow us to rethink the history of encyclopedic knowledge from a contemporary perspective.
We will explore Wikipedia and the history of encyclopedias through both traditional and innovative new ways of scholarly inquiry. Through in-class workshops, we will begin to practice methods for text analysis and data visualization currently being developed for use in cutting edge digital humanities scholarship. We will apply these methods to our own studies of digitalized encyclopedias (Diderot and D’Alembert’s Encyclopédie) and digital encyclopedias (Wikipedia). Assigned readings will offer a variety of academic approaches to the problem of encyclopedic knowledge, from philosophies of information (Luciano Floridi) to intellectual history (Daston), the sociology of science (Shapin and Latour), and semiotics (Eco and Kress). Through visits to the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book and Manuscript Library, we will examine historical editions of encyclopedias and consider how these books might have functioned as tangible objects in past centuries. Class assignments include creating original Wikipedia entries, writing short regular blog posts, and completing a 15-page research paper on an encyclopedic project of your choosing.
VMS 89S: Mapping and Modeling Early Modern Venice
Undergraduate Course
Instructor: Kristin Huffman Lanzoni
Mondays 10:05am-12:35pm
Smith Warehouse Bay 12 Room 228
Beginning with Napoleon’s forced entry into the city in 1797 and the fall of a more than 1000 year old Republic, the urban landscape of Venice experienced notable change. Significant intervention included the destruction of many Renaissance monuments and, therefore, great loss to the architectural and artistic patrimony of the city. The goal of this Wired! course is to map the urban landscape of early modern Venice by re-constructing lost architectural gems of the fifteenth and sixteenth century along with their immediate surroundings. To accomplish this, students will work in groups to use digital tools, such as Google Sketch up, to translate historical and modern maps, prints, engravings and paintings into 3-D models. In addition to the exterior reconstruction of the buildings, students will use inventories and various imagery to recreate interior spaces. These monuments will be mapped onto present-day Venice. The course assumes no prior art historical or digital experience; students will be provided with the background necessary to understand the art and architectural history of early modern Venice, and the skills required for the digital technology. The outcome of the course will be an unprecedented reconfiguration of aspects of Venice as it appeared in the Renaissance and visual models that may be shared with a larger academic community.
VMS 551LS: Wired! New Representational Technologies / Archaeology of Ancient Britain
Graduate Course
Instructor: Rebecca Bennett
Monday 11:45am-12:45pm in Social Science 229
& Thursdays 4:40-6:10pm in Smith Warehouse Bay 12 Room 228
This course will take you on a journey through the development of human society and culture in the British Isles before written records began. From the first migratory hunters to the Roman conquest, we will examine the key themes of settlement and society of ancient communities through an exploration of the tools and techniques available to archaeologists. Students will have the opportunity to hone their detective skills, piecing together various forms of evidence into cogent stories of the past using various Wired! technologies including GIS, GoogleEarth and Sketch-up. Students will demonstrate their understanding by drawing on digital archives and materials to re-interpret an archaeological investigation of their choice in an innovative and engaging way.
In association with this course there is an opportunity for students to participate in an archaeological landscape assessment at Exmoor National Park, UK during the Spring Break.
A Bold Experiment in Integrated Learning: A Meta-MOOC
Undergraduate & Graduate Courses (See below.)
Instructors: Dan Ariely & Cathy Davidson
Part of this will be face-to-face courses for Duke students, but the excitement comes from the open structure that means we are hoping to be joined by anyone anywhere in the world, not for a conventional MOOC (Massive Online Open Learning) where talking heads tell you what they think but in a Meta-MOOC: a class where we think about how we think, learn about how we learn, collaborate on new collaborative management practices, and together actually create a platform for colearning with a “massive” group of interested others worldwide. This experiment is for anyone frustrated about MOOC’s being billed as “revolutionary” learning when, too often, MOOCs simply are a video of the most conventional old-school form of teaching: the lecture. More information about the course can be found here.
Undergraduate Duke students should enroll in English 390-5/ISIS 390: Surprise Endings Social Science and Literature. Graduate students at Duke and across the Triangle should sign up for English 890S/ISIS 890S: Web Literacies, Digital Knowledge, and Digital Humanities: Theories, Methods, and Tools for Research and Teaching.
