Todd Presner Knihy

A visionary report on the revitalization of the liberal arts tradition in the electronically inflected, design-driven, multimedia language of the twenty- first century.

Exploring the intersection of digital humanities and Holocaust testimony, this book examines how computational methods can enhance our understanding of historical narratives. It addresses the ethical implications of using algorithms to analyze vast archives of survivor accounts, emphasizing the need for an "ethics of the algorithm." Todd Presner investigates trauma, language, and the nature of the archive while showcasing the potential of AI-driven testimonies to create immersive experiences that simulate conversations with survivors. This work advocates for the use of big data to preserve cultural memory.
