It is our great pleasure to present the new issue of VIEW Journal: ‘Audiovisual Data in Digital Humanities’. This special issue, co-edited by Andreas Fickers, Pelle Snickars and Mark J. Williams, provides a critical survey of new Digital Humanities methods and tools directed toward audiovisual media.
While digital humanities as a field seems dominated by a focus on textual studies, the mandate to improve the capacities to search, discover, and study audio visual is clear and unquestioned. New and emergent tools are reasonably expected to change this methodological landscape within the digitally accelerated near-future.
