        Subject: a thesis

I want to put before you a thesis you may wish strongly to dispute. In
fact that's what I am hoping for, that someone here will provide
evidence that my thesis does not survive close inspection. It is this:
that the dominant tendency in digital humanities is its absorption into
older disciplines and departments as a set of tools and techniques to
pursue existing agendas.

Go to it, please. But evidence (if any) to the contrary is essential.

Yours,
WM
