Database reading list
Hello Air Followers, I am looking to compile a list of readings on the database. I am specifically looking for information about how data is collected, organized, and manipulated in the humanities and social sciences, and even more specifically in terms of our teaching/assessment materials. Take, for example: Drucker, Johanna. “Database Narratives in Book and Online.” *Journal of Electronic Publishing* 18.1 (2015): n. pag. Web. http://quod.lib.umich.edu/j/jep/3336451.0018.113?view=text;rgn=main Price, Kenneth M. “Edition, Project, Database, Archive, Thematic Research Collection: What’s in a Name?” *Digital Humanities Quarterly* 3.3 (2009): n. pag. Print. http://digitalhumanities.org:8081/dhq/vol/3/3/000053/000053.html I will create a public Zotero group of these materials and invite anyone on the list who is interested once I collect your suggestions. Thank you in advance, Amanda Amanda Licastro, PhD Assistant Professor of Digital Rhetoric, Stevenson University in Maryland http://digitocentrism.commons.gc.cuny.edu/ @amandalicastro
This list focuses specifically on the metaphors used to describe data and databases, but it may have references relevant to your needs too. https://socialmediacollective.org/reading-lists/metaphors-of-data-a-reading-...

*Database Aesthetics: Art in the Age of Information Overflow *(Ed. by Victoria Vesna, University of Minnesota Press, 2007: http://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/database-aesthetics; http://victoriavesna.com/dataesthetics) "examines the database as cultural and aesthetic form, explaining how artists have participated in network culture by creating data art." In particular, I think Vesna's chapter, "Seeing the World in a Grain of Sand: The Database Aesthetics of Everything," discusses an art project involving the storage, manipulation, presentation, etc. of medical data in a public art project. *Knowledge Machines: Digital Transformations of the Sciences and Humanities* (Eric T. Meyer and Ralph Schroeder, MIT Press, 2015: https://mitpress.mit.edu/index.php?q=books/knowledge-machines) explores "e-research" and how data (including big data) practices and techniques are shaping/being shaped by scientific research generally. The chapters, "The Lockean view and databases" from *Information Management: An Informing Approach *(Fons Wijnhoven, Routledge, 2010: https://www.routledge.com/Information-Management-An-Informing-Approach/Wijnh...) and "Foucault and Data Bases" from *The Mode of Information: Poststructuralism and Social Contexts* (Mark Poster, Wiley, 1991: http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0745603270.html) might contribute to a discussion of the epistemological orientation, or assumptions and biases, of databases. E.g., even in a world of big data, you can only put so much of certain delineated facts/symbolic representations into the "universe of discourse" that databases represent. *The Imperial Archive: Knowledge and the Fantasy of Empire* (Thomas Richards, Verso Books, 1993) "analyzes the ways in which the Victorian organization of knowledge was enlisted into the service of the British Empire, as fields like biology, geography and geology began to function almost as extensions of British intelligence." Finally, something brief about "database" as a legal definition, for example in terms of the EU Database Directive vs. U.S.'s looser protections of databases under copyright law, might be beneficial in conjunction with these. Good luck! I'd be interested to see the list when you're done. Cory Salveson http://corysalveson.com On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 9:14 AM, Tarleton L. Gillespie <tlg28@cornell.edu> wrote:

Fascinating reading in this thread, thanks for starting it.
Two more articles, one historic:
Mak, B. (2014). Archaeology of a Digitization. Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology 65.8: 1515-1526. (A history of EEBO)
And one, which I offer without shame, is historic/ethnographic:
Alan Bilansky. “Search, Reading and the Rise of Database.” Forthcoming, Digital Scholarship in the Humanities. 2016. Preprint. (Here's a link to an open access copy: http://hdl.handle.net/2142/90033 )

Hello Air Followers,
I am looking to compile a list of readings on the database. I am specifically looking for information about how data is collected, organized, and manipulated in the humanities and social sciences, and even more specifically in terms of our teaching/assessment materials. Take, for example:
Drucker, Johanna. “Database Narratives in Book and Online.” *Journal of Electronic Publishing* 18.1 (2015): n. pag. Web. http://quod.lib.umich.edu/j/jep/3336451.0018.113?view=text;rgn=main
Price, Kenneth M. “Edition, Project, Database, Archive, Thematic Research Collection: What’s in a Name?” *Digital Humanities Quarterly* 3.3 (2009): n. pag. Print. http://digitalhumanities.org:8081/dhq/vol/3/3/000053/000053.html
I will create a public Zotero group of these materials and invite anyone on the list who is interested once I collect your suggestions.
Thank you in advance, Amanda
