From technological failures and computational obsolescence to rejected applications and challenging collaborations, failure is an unavoidable part of any scholarly endeavour. This is especially true for digital scholarship, as the everyday risk of failure is compounded by the challenges of interdisciplinary research and fragility of digital technology.Reframing Failure in Digital Scholarship</italic> tackles what failure – in all its messy but immensely valuable complexity – means for the digital humanities community head-on. It brings together a diverse, interdisciplinary and international group of scholars and practitioners that each offer short personal and professional reflections on the failed, broken or challenging aspects of scholarly practice. It provides a critical perspective on the ways institutional and material conditions are intractably linked to approaches to digital research, and how those conditions differ within and across national contexts.In creating a critical, constructive and compassionate vocabulary for failure, this book normalises failure as an object of inquiry, asking: if there is value in failure in digital scholarship, how do we create the space to fail ‘better’? 04 00 <ul> <li> Introduction: Reframing failure Anna-Maria Sichani and Michael Donnay </li> <li> Part I Innovation </li> <li> 1 Stop lying to yourself: Collective delusion and Digital Humanities grant funding Quinn Dombrowski </li> <li> 2 Risk, failure and the assessment of innovative research Jane Winters </li> <li> 3 Innovation, tools, and ecology Christopher Ohge </li> <li> 4 Software at play David De Roure </li> <li> Part II Technology </li> <li> 5 Brokenness is social Frances Corry </li> <li> 6 A career in ruins?
