Please select a digital humanities project from\u00a0this list<\/a>\u00a0(click on the tabs to see projects from various subject areas), or\u00a0this one<\/a> or\u00a0this one<\/a> or one of the projects reviewed in\u00a0this journal<\/a>! Use the sources\/processing\/presentation framework we discussed in class to identify each layer of the project. Finally, write approximately one paragraph that meditates on the effect of all these choices. Instead of focusing on how much you\u00a0like<\/em>\u00a0the project, try to focus on what the project conveys and the epistemological effects of the decisions the project team has made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn your identification of layers and your short analysis in via this assignment in BruinLearn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
