Henry Jenkins: From Home[r] to the Holodeck: New Media and the Humanities
We are at a vital moment in the history of our disciplines, which offers rich possibilities for expanding our public profile, broadening our intellectual mission, deepening our theoretical perspectives, forming alliances with both traditional humanists and technical experts at our own institutions, enabling new international collaborations, and enlarging the job market for our students. The public responds to these alternative visions of digital revolution with a mixture of fascination and fear, uncertain how to judge which scenario seems more likely or farfetched. They are susceptible to sensationalistic claims and shoddy research. Never before has there been such a great need for a new form of expertise which is alert to the social and cultural consequences of media technology, pragmatic in its response to the potentials and dangers of change and articulate enough to explain these processes to the general public.
