Mechanick Exercises: the Question of Technical Competence in Digital Scholarly Editing. Galey, A. In Iter/Arizona Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2010. 🏷️ /unread
Paper abstract bibtex What does a digital scholarly editor need to know? Ever a cause for anxiety and wistfulness among oversubscribed textual scholars, this question takes on a particular urgency as born-digital scholarly editions become viable. Within the digital humanities one finds two characteristic responses to this problem. One is to continue the logic of list-making, resulting in the copious desiderata of programming languages and databases one sees in some digital humanities job advertisements. Another is to delegate labour—and with it, knowledge—to team members, with the lead editor substituting first-hand technical competence with skills in project management and, consequently, in funding procurement. This chapter briefly surveys both responses to the competency gap in digital scholarly editing, but argues that neither adequately serves us. If the emerging field of digital textual studies lacks a clear answer to my initial question—what does a digital scholarly editor need to know?—it is because the question depends upon the complex relationships between labour, epistemology, and technology. This chapter argues that the question of competence in digital scholarly editing functions as a stalking-horse for the unresolved debate over the divisive question, “what is text?”. 【摘要翻译】数字学术编辑需要了解什么?这个问题一直是超额完成任务的文本学者焦虑和踌躇满志的原因,随着数字学术版本的诞生,这个问题变得尤为紧迫。在数字人文学科中,人们发现了对这一问题的两种典型回应。一种是继续执行列表逻辑,结果是在一些数字人文招聘广告中看到大量关于编程语言和数据库的要求。另一种是将劳动–连同知识–委派给团队成员,由主编用项目管理技能取代第一手技术能力,进而取代资金采购技能。本章简要介绍了这两种应对数字学术编辑能力差距的方法,但认为这两种方法都不能充分满足我们的需求。如果说新兴的数字文本研究领域对我最初提出的问题–数字学术编辑需要知道什么–缺乏明确的答案,那是因为这个问题取决于劳动、认识论和技术之间的复杂关系。本章认为,数字学术编辑的能力问题是 "文本是什么?"这一分歧性问题未决辩论的绊脚石。
