Abstract: | The concept of data in the humanistic academy carries a heavycultural freight: as a reductionist yet efficient representationof complex textual significance. Far from being an inventionof the digital age, this conception of the role of quantificationhas a prehistory whose terms continue to resonate in moderndebates about digital editing and digitally mediated scholarship.This essay explores these terms and the anxieties they reflect,concluding that digital representation is no less textuallyand methodologically rich, and no less a production of knowledge,than its print counterpart. |
