Just over a decade later, Busa had successfully established CAAL, the Centro per L\u2019Automazione dell\u2019Analisi Letteraria (the Center for the Automation of Literary Analysis)\u2014arguably the first dedicated humanities computing center\u2014in a former textile factory near Milan. CAAL was the product of postwar reconstruction, nascent multinationalism, cold-war ideology, and Jesuit culture, as well as the research questions that gave rise to it in the first place. In 1958 Father Busa presented his work in the IBM pavilion at the World\u2019s Fair in Brussels, Expo 58, the official motto of which was \u201cA World View: A New Humanism.\u201d The ambiguities and entanglements behind that demo help us to understand the emergence of Busa\u2019s legendary Center, and shed light on at least one influential prehistory of today\u2019s digital humanities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"recording-of-the-conference\"\n    >\nRecording of the conference<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"thumbnail  wp-block-unilux-blocks-thumbnail-video-vimeo\">\n    <span class=\"thumbnail__container\">\n        <span class=\"thumbnail__body\">\n            <span class=\"icon-rounded p-24 shadow bg-theme\">\n                <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-solid icon--play icon--white\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-solid.svg#icon--play\"><\/use><\/svg>            <\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image w-full object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"Steven Jones DIGITURN lecture\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/04\/Steven-Jones-DIGITURN-lecture.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/04\/Steven-Jones-DIGITURN-lecture-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/04\/Steven-Jones-DIGITURN-lecture-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/04\/Steven-Jones-DIGITURN-lecture-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/04\/Steven-Jones-DIGITURN-lecture.jpg 1500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 4\/3; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>    <\/span>\n    \n<div class=\"modal fade vimeo-modal wp-block-unilux-blocks-thumbnail-video-vimeo\" id=\"modal-nThO5\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n    <div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-dialog-scrollable\">\n        <div class=\"modal-content\">\n            \n<div class=\"modal-header\">\n    <div class=\"modal-title\">\n        <h1 id=\"modal-filter-title\">Thumbnail Video<\/h1>\n    <\/div>\n    <button type=\"button\" class=\"modal__btn-close\" data-bs-dismiss=\"modal\">\n        <span class=\"modal__btn-close__name\">Close<\/span>\n    <\/button>\n<\/div>\n            \n<style>\n    .modal-body {\n        padding: 0 !important;\n        flex: auto;\n    }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"modal-body\">\n    <div class=\"vimeo-video\" data-video-url=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/379258013?h=e862055455&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479?h=\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-md\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"interview\"\n    >\nInterview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this interview led by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/people\/gerben-zaagsma\/\">Gerben Zaagsma<\/a>, Steven Jones talks about his career and training in textual studies. Because of his specific interest in the materiality of texts in archives, he soon became interested in the relationship of the physical and the digital as a theoretical problem and methodological issue. He then talks about the myth of Roberto Busa as \u201cfounding father of digital humanities\u201d which he sets out to complement with history. He comments on Busa\u2019s work with IBM and on the young female punched card operators that worked in the first institutional digital humanities centre that Busa created. Jones is currently working on a project to reconstruct and model the centre and the work that was done there. To conclude, he offers his comments on the directions digital humanities might take on in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"thumbnail  wp-block-unilux-blocks-thumbnail-video-vimeo\">\n    <span class=\"thumbnail__container\">\n        <span class=\"thumbnail__body\">\n            <span class=\"icon-rounded p-24 shadow bg-theme\">\n                <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-solid icon--play icon--white\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-solid.svg#icon--play\"><\/use><\/svg>            <\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image w-full object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"Steven Jones DIGITURN interview\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/04\/Steven-Jones-DIGITURN-interview.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/04\/Steven-Jones-DIGITURN-interview-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/04\/Steven-Jones-DIGITURN-interview-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/04\/Steven-Jones-DIGITURN-interview-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/04\/Steven-Jones-DIGITURN-interview.jpg 1500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 4\/3; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>    <\/span>\n    \n<div class=\"modal fade vimeo-modal wp-block-unilux-blocks-thumbnail-video-vimeo\" id=\"modal-To7Ra\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n    <div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-dialog-scrollable\">\n        <div class=\"modal-content\">\n            \n<div class=\"modal-header\">\n    <div class=\"modal-title\">\n        <h1 id=\"modal-filter-title\">Thumbnail Video<\/h1>\n    <\/div>\n    <button type=\"button\" class=\"modal__btn-close\" data-bs-dismiss=\"modal\">\n        <span class=\"modal__btn-close__name\">Close<\/span>\n    <\/button>\n<\/div>\n            \n<style>\n    .modal-body {\n        padding: 0 !important;\n        flex: auto;\n    }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"modal-body\">\n    <div class=\"vimeo-video\" data-video-url=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/379263524?h=04d6925764&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479?h=\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-md\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"biography\"\n    >\nBiography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Steven Jones is DeBartolo Chair in Liberal Arts and Professor of English and Digital Humanities.
