flower diagram with various humanities disciplines listed on each of the petals and marked Digital Humanities via a bracket around all of the petals, the stem of the flower has a lone leaf that reads Techtuality, and the roots are labeled with various textual studies specific displines and marked Textual Studies via a bracket around all of the roots

Inspired by Steve Jones' remarks in his introduction to The Emergence of the Digital Humanities, DH students Taylor Cate Brown and Rebecca J. Parker designed this graphic to expand on the idea that it is "along such complex boundaries, the multi-petalled borders of intersecting academic disciplines and practices, that the most interesting developments in methods and new questions emerge" (Jones 6). This iteration places a great deal of emphasis on Textual Studies as the root system—or origin—of this dynamic and evolving field of study. From there the body of a flower emerges, the petals emblazoned with the intersecting disciplines that make up the Digital Humanities. One leaf attaches itself to this system, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between DH and Textual Studies, boasting the term "Techuality" to bridge the conceptual divide between print culture and the network.
