| Abstract | Though the digital humanities (DH) has offered feminist scholars new opportunities for publishing neglected authors, the rhetoric of science and quantification that accompanies it runs counter to core insights of feminist modernist scholarship, which have questioned the possibility and desirability of scientific virtues of empiricism and neutrality. By applying Donna Haraway’s situated knowledges – and its renewal in the digital humanities through intersectional feminist scholars such as Roopika Risam and Moya Bailey – this article explores the costs that sexism within DH has already levied on modernist studies. Further, it argues that the future of modernist DH scholarship must be explicitly feminist in nature, translating key insights from feminist theory into concrete practices for digital modernist scholarship. Collaboration emerges as an overarching ethos and an essential method for feminist modernist studies. |
