Title
The Pace of Academic Prototyping: The Case of the DTOC
Creator
Subject
Description
It is sometimes said that the academy today is undergoing rapid change, and that one of the changes we have been experiencing is in the rate of dissemination of research results. Our previous generation could comfortably spend 10 years on a project, and produce a monograph at the end, confident that they were meeting the expectations of everyone involved. Contemporary academics, on the other hand, typically publish and present on an annual cycle; research professors spending 10 years on a project without publishing would be considered to be underperforming, if not outright failing in their duties. However, in some respects the rapid cycle of dissemination masks the actual pace of academic understanding: people still need time to work, to write, to reflect. In this paper, we argue that researchers who routinely design, prototype, and test experimental systems, far from being the exception to the rule, may actually require more time to build and make their cases. As an example, we discuss the Dynamic Table of Contexts, first conceived of in 2003 and described as a concept at a DH conference in 2005. Ten years later, in 2013, it is still moving forward as a constellation of design, programming, and testing, but more importantly, as a locus of ideas about what it means to remediate a venerable print tradition in such a way as to make it acceptable to print readers while at the same time increasing its affordances.
