Punk Rock and the Digital Humanities, part 1

As the dialogue on the emergent (yet increasingly passe?) edupunk movement has begun to penetrate the mainstream press, I’ve been thinking a lot about what the term might mean to my present occupation, and also about what punk rock has meant to me historically (both in terms of my personal history and also my views on History with a capital H). I’ll spare you the many cliched “life experiences” I’ve enjoyed as a result of my involvement in punk culture, and focus here on how it has impacted my views on art, literature, politics, society, technology and education (i.e. the (digital) humanities).

Barriers to Institutional Digital History

Digital History -- Now With 100% More Operational Flowcharts!

So, I really like the looks of this nifty little flowchart, though I’m not sure it’s logically consistent.  In fact, it kind of reminds me of the inscrutable maintenance manual that came with my Taiwanese scooter.   I’m feeling compelled to take it down and make some revisions, but I think it best to just move on to writing my little article about the challenges inherent in digital history at the institutional level.  So here it is…

    Feb 2, 2010
    Recently, I had a conversation about blogging with my partner, who is a Montessori teacher.  Often times as we share a ride home from work, she will discuss some aspect of her work day that leaves me impressed with her knowledge and insight about teaching and child development. ...
  • A Sililoquy on the Cassette Tape and other Analog Wonders
    Jan 7, 2010
    Yes, I know it's 2010 (pronounced "twenty-ten"), and I know that nostalgia for the analog age is a 30-something cliche, and I know the cassette has become a sickening node of ironic culture.  But for just a few minutes, I ask you to set aside your pernicious Family Guy-inspired liking for hackneyed 80s references to consider the cassette as it should be understood: as a lost assertion of our basic rights, a technological and social artifact,  and a symbol of friendship, grassroots culture and low-fi audiophilia. ...
  • Adding an Image Lightbox in Omeka
    Nov 19, 2009
    Maybe it's just me, but I had a heckuva time trying to figure out how to implement Lightbox 2 in Omeka. After piecing together info and code from here and there, then adding my own little improvements, I've constructed a simple little 4-step guide to document the process and, hopefully, help make this process a little less vexing for others out there who aren't PHP and Java Script pros. ...

    "The only historically justified tactic is extremist innovation" - Debord & Wolman, A User's Guide to Détournement (1956) I've been thinking about the Situationists for about a decade now, after learning of Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle in some Propagandhi liner notes (I think) about a decade ago. ...
  • Building a WordPress Static Homepage with Dynamic Elements
    Sep 22, 2009
    One of the nice features of WordPress is the ability to create static homepages.  While most blogs use the standard configuration, where users scroll vertically from the most recent to older blog posts, it often makes sense to use a static homepage instead -- especially if you are looking to create a more professional looking site, or are using WordPress as a Content Management System. ...
  • Liberal Guerillas to Fling Terror Poo at G-20 Summit!
    Aug 11, 2009
    I will rarely address current events on this site, but a friend of mine in PA sent me a link to a completely ridiculous story from KDKA TV News Pittsburgh, a CBS affiliate.  Hit the break for the video and the full story, annotated with my first hand clarifications. ...

    I'm one of those people who listens to NPR all day.  In the shower, in the car, while cooking, as a Sunday morning activity with my partner.  I almost never watch television, but I love passively listening to smart people talk, which is not really substantially different than watching dumb people swap wives when you get down to it. ...

    Jul 4, 2009
    Like any zealot, I spend weekends, evenings, social engagements, and holidays ranting about the things that really get on my nerves.  Today, July 4th, a day commemorating the birth of our glorious nation, I spent the early afternoon orating on the relative merits of the LMS in hopes of fomenting revolution. ...
  • I Studied Medieval History Because I Thought it was the Metal Thing to Do
    Jun 24, 2009
    Yes, that's true.  I even got a Master's Degree.  Now, I like history and other humanities for lots of reasons, not just because they're sometimes kind of metal, but I figured that with my first post on this site I'd return to my roots and original reasons for liking history. ...
