font-family: "Avenir Book", serif, EmojiFont;">belongs
to the broader digital humanities field. Today, however, </span><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Avenir Book",
serif, EmojiFont;">‘the digital’ can no longer be understood as
a separate domain of media and culture. If we actually examine
the digital - rather than taking it for granted we know what it
means - we soon see that digital information processing is now
present in every aspect of our lives. This includes our global
communication, entertainment, education, energy, banking,
health, transport, manufacturing, food, and water-supply
systems. The very idea of digital humanities – based as it is on
a presumed difference between computing and the digital on the
one hand, and the humanistic and human on the other – is
therefore somewhat anachronistic and inappropriate. Attention
therefore needs to turn from ‘the digital’ to the various
overlapping processes and infrastructures that shape and
organise the digital, and that the digital helps to shape and
organise in turn. The CPC investigates such enmeshed digital
models of culture, society, and the creative economy for the 21<sup>st</sup> century
world.</span></p>

humanities; and after the humanities - including humanism and
