5. As Samuel Weber has argued, 'To speak of the Humanities, then, is to imply a model of unity based on a certain idea of the human, whether as opposed to the divine (medieval, scholastic humanism) or to the non-human animal world.... The unity of the university remains profoundly bound up with the notion of a universally valid essence of the 'human', which is the anthropological correlative of the epistemological universalism that resides at the core of the university as an institution.'

8. The '"big tent" that the digital humanities can be', she writes, is 'a nexus of fields within which scholars use computing technologies to investigate the kinds of questions that are traditional to the humanities, or, as is more true of my own work, who ask traditional kinds of humanities-oriented questions about computing technologies'.

At the time, this meant not writing, publishing, editing or peer reviewing for, among others, Sage (which publishes numerous journals in the critical theory area including Theory, Culture and Society and New Media and Society), Palgrave Macmillan (publisher of Feminist Review), Stanford University Press, Fordham University Press, Harvard University Press and NYU Press.
24. As long ago as 2007, Nick Montfort, an associate professor of digital media at MIT, stated that he was no longer prepared to review articles for non-open access, for-profit, non-public journals (Nick Montfort, 'Digital Media, Games, and Open Access', Grand Text Auto, 21 December 2007, http://grandtextauto.org/2007/12/21/digital-media-games-and-open-access).

27. At this point, Radical Philosophy might have concerns about its own business model. If Radical Philosophy was available on an open access basis in its entirety, would sales of annual subscriptions, paper copies and individual pdfs from its online archive not fall dramatically? Would there no longer be sufficient funds to pay for the running of the journal as a result? There are a number of ways of responding creatively to this challenge, although they might involve major changes to the nature and character of the journal, such as moving to an online-only open access basis or adopting the delayed open access model.
