The UCLA Mellon Seminar in Digital Humanities has launched a second version of the Digital Humanities Manifesto (available as both a pdf file and commentpress blog). We welcome your feedback. Please feel free to blog it, hack it, post it, remix it, and pass it along. The manifesto is the product of nine seminars held at UCLA over the past year. The seminars were co-taught by Jeffrey Schnapp (Stanford) and Todd Presner (UCLA), with special sessions on visualization (Diane Favro and Chris Johanson), cultural analytics (Lev Manovich), authoring environments (Johanna Drucker), new media publication (Tara McPherson), virtual worlds (Jeffrey Schnapp and Lynn Hershmann), information triage (Peter Lunenfeld), Mobile Media (Scott Ruston, Ricardo Dominquez and Amy Carrol), and a DH symposium (keynoted by Kate Hayles). All sessions are archived and available as quicktime videos at: http://www.digitalhumanities.ucla.edu Click on Mellon Seminars.

On the UCLA Digital Humanities website you will also find links to the commentpress versions of the manifesto, which allow you to post comments and links. Finally, there is also a whitepaper on Digital Humanities (written for administrators at UCLA to explain DH, but with language that can be repurposed for any institutional context). We hope it is helpful for articulating and responding to the transformations happening at your home institutions.
