Abstract

Our research communities are developing against a background of a globalized, and multilingual world with all the affordances of the Internet. Within the digital humanities there are distinct regional variations in approaches and objects of study. Nevertheless, in the development of our field, despite these differences, there are many similarities in approach and techniques. Geographical and linguistic variations, however, mean that each area develops its own ‘flavour’ of digital humanities practice. Globally, there is a preponderance of and bias towards the English language and we need to question the need for a single centralized structure, perhaps in favour of more regional and localized organization. This paper raises questions about the place of mainland China within the now globalized DH community and how to find the distinct voice for and flavour of DH practice there. What is the story that mainland China can relate to the global DH community?
