Digital cultural has taken root in the intellectual landscape and in the world of human sciences research. It has modified the production and diffusion of knowledge, prompting interrogations about its history and its institutional standing. The scholarly world is experiencing this conversion in different ways, with some decrying a break with the past and its traditions, others welcoming new methods and new possibilities for discovery. On all sides, we are asking questions about the intersection of interpretive science and computer science, as well as about the epistemological coherence of digital humanities.
These questions will be at the heart of the presentation:
