A Twitter Essay A DH Project
Because Digital Humanities is a generative practice, it demands an additive pedagogy. Students still have to be trained in the persuasive use of language, to write effectively in long forms, but they also need to be able to craft what Roman rhetoricians called the multum in parvo—the aphorism, the short form, that which distills the long and the large into compact form.
