Two colleagues recently forwarded me a pair of links they thought I would find interesting. One was an MLA job listing for an assistant professor "in American or British literature, 16th-20th century, with interest in the problematic of digital humanities". It included the specification, "Some familiarity with MSWord expected." The other was for a new journal called Digital Philology. The author's guidelines include the invitation, "Digital Philology is welcoming submissions for its 2013 open issue. Inquiries and submissions (as a Word document attachment) should be sent to" ...
I actually had to read each of these twice to realize that one was intended as a parody, and the other is apparently intended seriously. In the spirit of the news quiz on NPR's "Wait, wait, don't tell me," you decide: which one is the parody?
- a job for assistant professor asking for familiarity with MS Word
- a new journal Digital Philology soliciting submissions as emails with attached Word document
If you are unable to tell, the links lead to the full listings on the original web pages, where you'll find further clues.
Welcome to the world of digital humanities and digital philology in 2012.
