The two special issues of Digital Humanities Quarterly, one published in 2023 and the other forthcoming, focussing on Critical Code Studies represent a watershed moment. For while we have published essays in electronic book review and other venues, these collections mark the first set of scholarly explorations of code gathered in issues dedicated to that topic. Most of the authors have published in more than one working group, and some of the content has been developed from discussion threads in working groups. We are grateful to DHQ and all the authors, editors, and peer respondents who have made these two issues possible.

For this week, we have assembled a group of authors from these two issues to discuss with us their reflections on the articles and what they mean for CCS. We have also set up discussion threads for the articles. (See list below) You will notice the diversity of the code objects and approaches reflects the wide ranging applications of Critical Code Studies.

Here is a link to the first of the special issues.

Discussion Questions

For the authors:
What did we authors learn from each other’s articles?
What connections do we see between our articles in methodology, discoveries, or theoretical approaches?

From all of our participants:
What’s one article that catches your interest and why?

And our cohosts have further questions!
