What are Digital Humanities?
This lecture explores the concept of Digital Humanities, distinguishing it from related fields like Humanities Computing and Digital Studies. It delves into the historical evolution of the term, the impact of digital methods on traditional disciplinary boundaries, and the global expansion of Digital Humanities as a multilingual phenomenon. The discussion also covers the French debate on the translation of Digital Humanities, the broader scope proposed by Bernard Stiegler with Digital Studies, and the inclusion of studies about Digital Culture within the Digital Humanities domain.
