“…A number of experimental creative works and projects of that time reflect a fascination with limitless possibilities of electronic text for creative expression and scholarly engagement. Staying contemporary, one can draw one genealogical connection in a combined idiom of “radiant textuality” (McGann, 1996) “at the dawn of a digital age” (Stefik, 1996) to herald “the beginning of a great scholarly revolution” (McGann, 2001b; quoted in Vadillo, 2003, p. 534). There is an inner tension between the desire to track a consequential beginning and epochal transformation.…”

“…In a number of writings about digital archives and editing projects, technology is seen as intensifying the experience of materiality: the images of a book draw attention to the materiality of the book as art; the paintings that the poems speak of make concrete the imagery but also support bringing today's audience into the same referential space as the contemporaries of a literary work; and digital images of drafts to trace an organic development of texts (Vadillo, 2003, p. 534) and thus externalize the process of an organic creation of literary work.…”

PurposeBy reconstructing the genealogy of digital humanities through examining digital humanities projects and evaluative writings, this paper aims to identify core arguments related to disciplinary transformation and pedagogy in the humanities fields. It also seeks to consider knowledge production and transformation of a general humanistic attitude (the Humanities Program) in relation to digital tools. The paper also seeks to examine its perceived impact on disciplinary development, pedagogy, and forms of digital text.Design/methodology/approachThe paper presents a literature‐based conceptual analysis of distinct and diverse aspects of the enterprise of digital humanities, by identifying their main foci together with implications of these preoccupations within larger discourses. The analysis is grounded in a close reading of 45 exemplary texts published from the 1980s to date, and 14 exemplary projects and initiatives. The analysis highlights several concepts with their underlying assumptions.FindingsThe perceived epistemological advantage of digital technology for new forms of reasoning is that community development has produced theoretical frameworks and shaped practical directions. The paper identified three distinct formations characterized by associated digital artifacts: prominent opinion leaders, foundational projects, and document forms (morphs).Research limitations/implicationsResearch data are not comprehensive. Selected texts and projects are exemplary. The results and findings are relevant for the English‐language context and limited by a selective corpus.Originality/valueThe paper outlines a historical trajectory of digital humanities and the formative stages of development from the discourses of that evolving field. It also identifies constructions of technological advantage with implications for knowledge production in the writing of humanities scholars. The paper contributes to practitioner awareness of the history of digital humanities practice.
