Walter J. Ong Memorial Lecture

I’m looking forward to visiting St. Louis University next week to give the sixth Walter J. Ong Memorial Lecture on “The Eversion of the Network and the Emergence of the Digital Humanities” (Wednesday, March 26, 4:00 PM). The lecture is sponsored by the interdisciplinary Ong Center for Language, Media and Culture.

Citations sighted

Over on the Tumblr for The Emergence of the Digital Humanities, I’ve noted a few interesting recent citations to the book, one on a British Library Digital Scholarship blog, one on a blog dedicated to the works of H. P. Lovecraft, and one on Digital Shakespeares.

The Emergence of the Digital Humanities was named book of the week this week by the libraries and publishing journal, Against The Grain.

Over on the Tumblr I note (thanks to BoingBoing) an inspired hack of the great art game, Katamari Damacy, turning it into a kind of Augmented-Reality event out on the street.
