"The work of Jacques Derrida has transformed our understanding of a range of disciplines in the humanities through its questioning of some of the basic tenets of western metaphysics. This volume is a trans-disciplinary collection dedicated to his work; the assembled contributions - on law, literature, ethics, history, gender, politics and psychoanalysis, among others - constitute an investigation of the role of Derrida's work within the field of humanities, present and future. The volume is distinguished by work on some of his most recent writings, and contains Derrida's own address on 'the future of the humanities'. In addition to its pedagogic interest, this collection of essays attempts to respond to the question: what might be the relation of Derrida, or 'deconstruction' to the future of the humanities? The volume presents the most sustained examples yet of what deconstruction is in its current phase - as well as what its possible future may be."

"As the twenty-first century unfolds, computers continue to change the way we think about culture, society and what it is to be human: areas traditionally explored by the humanities. In a world of Big Data, Google Books, digital archives, real-time streaming systems and smart phones, our use of culture has been changing dramatically. The digital humanities give us powerful tools and methods for thinking about culture and history in the contemporary world, through the use of sophisticated computing techniques and methods. Berry and Fagerjord provide a comprehensive guide, exploring the history, intellectual work, key arguments and ideas of this emerging discipline. They also undertake a substantive critique, suggesting ways in which the humanities can be enriched through computing, but also how cultural critique can transform the digital humanities."

"The Bronze Age in the Korean peninsula witnessed many significant social and economic transformations, one of which was the transition from dispersed/linear settlements to nucleated settlements in the late Early Bronze Age and the concomitanat emergence of the "village community". This paper considers how the notion of the "village community" may have been reproduced through funerary practices of object deposition observed at the late EBA Phase i dolmens of the Yongdam complex, located in Jinan, southeern Korea. Firstly, it is suggested that the stone objects deposited in and around the dolmens may have been personal items relevant to the life history of the deceased. Secondly, the ceramic vessel parts deposited around the dolmen burials are seen to have been associated with feasting practices. Finally, the possibility that the stone objects deposited in a deliberately broken and partial state may have been involved in practices of social enchhainment is considered. it s argued that these diferent practices of object deposition mediate the sharing of memories, which in turn contributed to the estabilishment of community history. The reproduction of community history, it is maintained, would have played an important role in reproducing the notion of the "village community""
