Drawing on the legacies of its traditional humanistic domains oforigin, the Digital Humanities have inherited many of their structures- despite the DH’s self-understanding as “revolutionary”.At our panel we want to approach the theme of the conference(“Collaboration as Opportunity”, especially the call for “Revolutions”:https://dh2023.adho.org/?page_id=310) from an international,multimodal perspective, informed by the discourse about culturalcriticism in DH.We would like to interrogate areas in the ‘borderlands’ (Earhart2018) of the field as areas where the DH still have the potential forrevolutions. In our panel, we hope to shed light on blind spots inthe DH such as monolingualism (Fiormonte 2021), a heritage ofcolonialism (Risam 2019) and gender imbalance (Gao et al. 2022,330), to name but a few. These issues concern not only our researchdata, as Daniele Metilli illustrates on the example of bordersand absences in Hans Sloane’s collection, but also societal issueswithin the field itself, as Melissa Terras discusses: The DH’s selfperceptionas challenging power structures conflicts with the factthat the DH as field are part of the Academy and thus, inherit itsstructural problems such as precarious employment.
