- ›Teaching without Lecturing‹. Business Simulation Games in the 1960sBusiness simulation games emerged in the USA around 1956 amidst a range of impacting factors such as military simulations, case studies at business schools, and war games. Situated at the intersection of corporate management, increasing computerisation and shifting paradigms in economics, the field of business simulation games provides an exceptional opportunity to trace the transformations of the logics of social control in the post-WWII era. These early ›serious games‹ were sites where practices of decision-making, changing concepts of rationality and the challenges of adapting to a new medium were explored in a playful manner. In this article, the field is approached from a media and cultural studies perspective. The focus is on the early 1960s, when business simulation games were first introduced in West German companies for the purpose of management training. Special attention is paid to the deployment of the IBM-developed business simulation game TOPIC 1 at the chemicals company Hoechst AG.

Digital Methods : From Challenges to Bildung

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The chapter starts with a short summary of what we consider to be five central challenges concerning the recent move towards Digital Methods. We then interrogate David Berry’s concept of ‘digital Bildung’ as a means of facing these challenges. Our goal in this discussion is, maybe paradoxically, to move the spotlight from ‘the digital’ and programming, to the plethora of concepts and knowledges mobilized in digital tools. To this end, we discuss three examples that allow us to both concretise and complicate the debate about what kind of skill set is needed by digital scholars.

Digital Methods: Five Challenges

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- While terms like ‘digital humanities’, ‘cultural analytics’, or ‘Web science’ are certainly buzzwords, there are many indicators for a ‘computational turn’ that runs deeper than a simple rise of quantitative or ‘scientific’ modes of analysis. Rich graphical interfaces, advanced visualisation techniques, and ‘fuzzy’ processing have led some of those who have held numbers, calculations, and computers at a safe distance for a long time to warm up to new computational possibilities. But what are we to make of all of this? If these new digital methods are more than just another set of tools in our arsenal, how do we deal with the more fundamental transformations that challenge established epistemological paradigms?

“A sedate, hesitant, circumspect, little behavioral revolution” : The case of New Political History 1957–1970
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The presentation seeks to historicise current approaches to Digital History by focusing on New Political History, a branch of US political history that emerged in the late 1950s. While its proponents were especially enthusiastic about the merits of computation and quantification, it also sparked a heated debate in the field, culminating in the president of the American Historical Association's insistence "Nor will the historian worship at the shrine of that Bitch-goddess, QUANTIFICATION [sic]." The presentation looks at New Political History from three different angles: First, the role of actors and institutions for its development is described, then the impact of media technologies during this phase is assessed and finally 'external' factors such as changing funding policies and industry concerns are examined. The findings will finally be used in a comparison to today's situation in order to discuss the broader issue of continuity vs. discontinuity and to connect to the conferences question whether Digital History can be seen as a Field, a Method or just a Phase.

Big Data – Big Humanities? : Eine historische Perspektive

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Dieser Beitrag versucht, die Rekonstruktion einer historischen Debatte für eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den Ansprüchen und Versprechen der Digital Humanities und des Humanities Computing fruchtbar zu machen. Ausgangspunkt ist die Beobachtung, dass viele Fragen, die heute im Umfeld von Big Data und Digital Humanities debattiert werden, in den 1960er Jahren zur Diskussion standen und die Positionen zum Teil erstaunliche Übereinstimmungen aufweisen.
