While some authors conclude that the dark side of DH is actually the bright side, Cordell, in hoping for a better engagement with the humanities concludes that DH is simply "a useful banner for gathering a community of scholars doing weird humanities work with computers" p. In that expanding context, Domenico Fiormonte in her essay "Towards a Cultural Critique of Digital Humanities" a republished version of her earlier "infamous" article given in at the "Cologne Controversies around the Digital Humanities" argues that DH practitioners should abandon the obsession with archive fever and large-scale digitalization projects.

We would especially welcome essays on situations where not only the data but also the user interface employs a non-English language, especially a non-Western language. While many papers will no doubt foreground specific projects, the focus should not be on reporting or describing a project but on some wider issue, problem or principle involved, and should answer a question or present an argument about that subject.

For instance, did the material involve some special technical challenge — e. Were there special problems of access to the material, or social challenges or resistance? How were these problems resolved or not , and what lessons or benefits to future ventures were learned? Such technical and academic issues might lead to broader issues of cultural politics.
