*Abstract*

This talk will present how we can research the digital human in archives 
with new digital methodologies in the age of deep learning. Archives 
have long been a key concern of academic debates about truth, memory, 
recording and power and are important sites for social sciences and 
humanities research. These debates have only accelerated with the 
digital transformation of archives. This talk presents novel 
methodologies and tools for changing memory and power relations in 
digital archives through new ways of reassembling marginalised, 
non-canonical entities in digital archives. I will finish by introducing 
the plans for my new ERC grant on deep culture, which integrates the 
critical analysis of contemporary deep learning practices with an 
attempt to change the methodological direction in the digital humanities.
