The digital humanities are rapidly expanding access to scholarly and literary materials once largely confined to the university.

I, too, made a brief foray into the digital humanities, and prior to turning to academic work, I provided a 42-lecture Dante-in-translation course which itself covered the entirety of Dante’s Comedy and sought to offer a less academic, and more accessible series of lectures on Dante than its more academic and more popular predecessors.

Las narrativas sobre las maternidades heteronormativas son cada vez más debatidas en la contemporaneidad desde los escenarios digitales. A través de blogs en diferentes plataformas y sitios web, las ...mujeres comparten sus experiencias sobre, avatares, encuentros y desencuentros frente a una de las instituciones insignias del patriarcado: la maternidad. En estos espacios digitales, las madres blogueras y sus seguidoras crean redes de apoyo para tejer y entretejer sus sentidos, saberes, sentires y prácticas sobre las maternidades, más allá de la dominación patriarcal. Este texto deriva de una investigación doctoral que se sirvió de una etnografía digital con siete blogueras colombianas y sus comunidades digitales, y los referentes teóricos de los feminismos y las ciencias sociales, para interpretar los entramados discursivos de las maternidades contemporáneas que se despliegan y reconfiguran a través de los contextos digitales. Los resultados muestran que la maternidad ha sido un escenario en disputa entre el discurso dominante heteropatriarcal que impone una manera única de ser madre y las mujeres que cuestionan los modos en que se han configurado las subjetividades maternas, visibilizando otras formas de entretejer maternidades no hegemónicas. Lo anterior facilita que las mujeres con acceso a estos intercambios digitales cuenten con un abanico más amplio y diverso de referentes que los cercanos y familiares para construir sus propias formas de maternar, transformar sus subjetividades y orientarse en los desafíos que atraviesan como mujeres y madres.
