Routledge Handbook of the Digital Environmental Humanities

<p>The <i>Routledge Handbook of the Digital Environmental Humanities</i> explores the digital methods and tools scholars use to observe interpret and manage nature in several different academic fields.</p><p>Employing historical philosophical linguistic literary and cultural lenses this handbook explores how the digital environmental humanities (DEH) as an emerging field recognises its convergence with the environmental humanities. As such it is empirically critically and ethically engaged in exploring digitally mediated visualised and parsed framings of past present and future environments landscapes and cultures. Currently humanities geographical cartographical informatic and computing disciplines are finding a common space in the DEH and are bringing the use of digital applications coding and software into league with literary and cultural studies and the visual film and performing arts. In doing so the DEH facilitates transdisciplinary encounters between fields as diverse as human cognition gaming bioinformatics and linguistics social media literature and history music painting philology philosophy and the earth and environmental sciences.</p><p>This handbook will be essential reading for those interested in the use of digital tools in the study of the environment from a wide range of disciplines and for those working in the environmental humanities more generally.</p>
