I. How do you define Digital Humanities ?



„If you think you are doing it, then you probably are, but the UCLDH definition is: the application of computational methods to humanities research or to cultural heritage; or of humanities research methods to digital phenomena.“ —Claire Warwick

I think of digital humanities as an umbrella term that covers a wide variety of digital work in the humanities: development of multimedia pedagogies and scholarship, designing & building tools, human computer interaction, designing & building archives [collections], etc. DH is interdisciplinary; by necessity it breaks down boundaries between disciplines at the local (e.g., English and history) and global (e.g., humanities and computer sciences) levels.—Kathie Gossett




I guess I define DH twofold : Using technology to do Humanities research and doing Humanities research about technology. Plus a commitment to the openness of knowledge. Plus a commitment to build new scholarly objects.— My Definition (in poor English)




The great opportunity to burn down academic walls— Enrica Salvatori


DH is what critical theory is or was--an opportunity to ask new questions, try new methods, engage in new conversations.— ssenier

II. Origines et précurseurs des DH

Une histoire qui reste à écrire...

- Histoire des sciences et des techniques

- Application de l‘informatique aux sciences humaines

- Utopies informationelles / PC Revolution

- Structuralisme / Post-modernisme



Evolution des technologies du savoirRobert Pascal, Mnémotechnologies : Une théorie générale critique des technologies intellectuelles, Hermes Science Publications, 2010.

Revue d‘anthropologie des connaissances, S.A.C., Paris, 2007-



Application de l‘informatique aux sciences humaines

Père Roberto Busa, Index Thomisticus, 56 vol., 1949-1989.

Utopies informationellesBush Vannevar, As We May Think, The Atlantic, may 1945.

Consider a future device for individual use, which is a sort of mechanized private file and library. It needs a name, and, to coin one at random, "memex" will do. A memex is a device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.It consists of a desk, and while it can presumably be operated from a distance, it is primarily the piece of furniture at which he works. On the top are slanting translucent screens, on which material can be projected for convenient reading. There is a keyboard, and sets of buttons and levers. Otherwise it looks like an ordinary desk.



Utopies informationelles

Nelson Theodore H., Computer Lib / Dream Machine, Redmond, Microsoft Press, 1974.

Today, at this moment, we can and must design the media, design the molecules of our new water, and I believe the details of this design matter very deeply.



Utopies informationelles

Ditlea Steve et Lunch Group (éds.), Digital Deli. The comprehensive, user-lovable menu of computer lore, culture, lifestyles and fancy., New York, Workman Publishing Company, Inc., 1984.

I know now that our research with psychedelic drugs and, in fact, the drug culture itself was a forecast of our preparation for the personal computer age. (...). It is no accident that the term LSD was used twice in Time magazine‘s cover story about Steve Jobs. –T. Leary, Personal Computers / Personal Freedom



Structuralisme / Post-modernisme

• Roland Barthes, The Death of the author, ASPEN, 1967http://www.ubu.com/aspen/aspen5and6/index.html

• Foucault Michel, « Qu’est-ce qu’un auteur ? », in Bulletin de la Société française de philosophie, juillet-septembre 1969.

Structuralisme / Post-modernisme

Jean-François Lyotard, Les immatériaux, exposition au centre Georges Pompidou, 1985

On dirait que les changements, comme toujours, nous viennent du dehors. Par les conditions de travail, par le milieu de la vie quotidienne, par les moyens d'information. Mais c'est dans nos têtes que ça change.

VI. Sociologie des DH @ Day of DH• Trier Center for Digital Humanities (http://is.gd/a8IlYA )

Team members are intent upon various research projects: They develop

metadata structures and encoding schemas for different editorial projects,

some are engaged in the encoding of reference works, editions, and

primary texts as well as programming and design work on virtual research

environments and tools to support collaborative research.

• Javier de la Rosa (http://is.gd/9hQgzf )We are working on a slideshow game that shows baroque paintings and

ask for the user to punch the faces of the people that appears on. And the

other modality, to poke their eyes out. In the background, we are collecting

all the points the people provides to train machine learning algorithms.

• Dona Maria Alexander (http://is.gd/HL1hiG )Social media is central to my day to day work. I’ll be tweeting, facebooking

and hopefully a little bit of blogging too!
