%T Modelling What There Is: Ontologising in a Multidimensional World %A McCarty, Willard %J Historical Social Research, Supplement %N 31 %P 33-45 %D 2018 %K Modelling; Multidimensionality; Semantic Stretch %@ 0963-6784 %~ GESIS %X The incursion of digital computing machinery into the public sphere and the return of “ontology” from philosophical exile occurred almost simultaneously, circa 1948. In this essay I ask, what do the modelling machine and philosophers’ irreconcilable accounts of “what there is” have to do with each other? Are the ontological pluralism of the former and the multi-centric multi-naturalism of the latter kin? If so, then recent anthropology has much to say to digital humanities. %C DEU %G en %9 Zeitschriftenartikel %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
