Digital humanities or hypercolonial studies?

Summary/Abstract: Only 15 years have passed since the first digital libraries were deployed, and only 20 or 30 since e-mail became available to us. It is a matter of fact that there is a significant, growing corpus of digital content available for scholarly research in the humanities, and this is going to change the conditions for our intellectual lives. After participating in numerous meetings, workshops and European Projects, we can offer a critical overview on the DH: taking some of the premises of Postcolonial Studies as a starting point, we propose denouncing the technical and commercial strategies developed by powerful consortia of companies and states from the anglophone and northern axis. Our aim is to point out that another kind of innovation is possible, based on users and social priorities, for the digital humanities, as well.
