It’s a bit rough, but so what? In case you’re interested, here are the notes for my talk “Looking Back to Look Ahead: Bachelard’s Phenomenotechnique and Gardin's Logicist Approach in Digital History” that I gave in October at the conference “Revolutionary, Disruptive, or Just Repeating Itself? Tracing the History of Digital History” #dhiha9 in Paris.

I look forward to publishing a more polished version in the future ;-)

Slide:

IV. LEARNING FROM “LOST” TRADITIONS

• What are the best strategies to communicate digital research into analogue spaces?
• How do we keep the succession alive and build communities of practice?
• What paradigms shape historical inquiry today? Do we even fit into them? If not, should we change - or should they?Slide:

IV. LEARNING FROM „LOST" TRADITIONS

It is useful to look at method history as a means for method criticism because it...

• ...contextualises method criticism: different goals, different data, different methods, different arguments, etc.
• ...contextualises disciplinary discourse: pluralistic historical discipline, historicity of todays paradigms
• opens up research: a lot of still useful and insightful works which can inspire future research, albeit in changed recent contexts.Slide:

IV. LEARNING FROM “LOST” TRADITIONS

„To take up simulation [or the History of Digital History!] is to invite yourself to proceed further with your data [or method criticism!] than you have already done, to pursue the suggestions which the outcomes put before you, outcomes which are often unexpected, always illuminating, and sometimes devastating."
—Wachter, Laslett & Hammel 1978, p. 85.
