DIGITAL HUMANITIES

Post date: Jan 31, 2020 6:49:52 PM

Application of computer-based methods for the Humanities. Though, on some occasions, I prefer 'Humanities Computing' to make clearer that these applications often have to be developed and that a lot of basic research is required. What I do not like about the term 'DH' is that it implies that there is digital humanities as opposed to non-digital humanities. But there is not. In the future, computer-based methods will be naturally used by any scholar. It is not like experimental vs. theoretical physics.
