Review of "The Routledge Companion to Media Studies and Digital Humanities"

This is the review of "The Routledge Companion to Media Studies and Digital Humanities", a 500-page long book dedicated to the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory (HASTAC) Community, an interdisciplinary group of humanists, artists, (social) scientists, and technologists sharing “ideas, ne ws, tools, research, insights, pedagogy, methods, and projects – including Digital Humanities and other born-digital scholarship.” The book starts from the tenet that the interplay between media and digital humanities is by now mandatory, since the two mutually inform and enrich each other in a highly diversified range of fields, as testified to by the 70 contributions to the five sections of the volume: Part I. Access, Praxis, Justice; Part II. Design, Interface, Interaction; Part III. Mediation, Method, Materiality; Part IV. Remediation, Data, Memory; Part V. Making, Programming, Hacking.
