"Digital humanities (DH) is an area of scholarly activity at the intersection of computing or digital technologies and the disciplines of the humanities."
The study of literature in the digital age, examining how new technologies are changing the way we read and interpret literary works.
Text Encoding: The process of converting unstructured text into a structured format that can be easily analyzed and manipulated by computers.
Text Analytics: The application of statistical and machine learning techniques to extract meaning and insight from digital text data.
Corpus Linguistics: The study of large collections of textual data, often used to uncover patterns of language use and change over time.
Digital Textual Editing: The creation and curation of digital editions of literary works, often involving the use of markup languages such as XML and TEI.
Data Visualization: The use of graphical representations to communicate complex data insights, often involving the use of tools like Tableau and D3.js.
Natural Language Processing: The use of computer algorithms to analyze and extract meaning from human language data, often used in applications like sentiment analysis and language translation.
Digital Publishing: The creation and dissemination of digital books and other scholarly publications, often involving the use of open access and open source platforms.
Digital Humanities Pedagogy: The theory and practice of teaching and learning digital humanities concepts and methods, often incorporating elements of project-based learning and experiential education.
Digital archives: Online collections of historical documents and primary sources that are digitized, annotated and made available for researchers and the general public.
Digital editions: Online versions of books, manuscripts, and other texts that allow for easy navigation and access to different versions and translations.
Data mining and visualization: Using computational methods to extract meaning from large datasets, often through visualization and interactive interfaces.
Text analysis: Using natural language processing and other techniques to analyze patterns in texts, such as sentiment analysis or topic modeling.
Network analysis: Mapping networks of social interaction or intellectual influence in order to understand historical and cultural trends.
Digital storytelling: Using multimedia platforms to create dynamic, engaging narratives that incorporate text, images, video, and sound.
Virtual reality and augmented reality: Creating immersive experiences that allow users to explore historical or cultural environments through VR headsets or AR overlays.
Digital curation: Managing and preserving digital collections of cultural artifacts, often through metadata standards and digital preservation best practices.
Digital pedagogy: Using digital tools and resources to enhance teaching and learning in humanities subjects.
Social media analysis: Investigating patterns of social media use and influence in order to understand contemporary culture and communication.
"It includes the systematic use of digital resources in the humanities, as well as the analysis of their application."
"DH can be defined as new ways of doing scholarship that involve collaborative, transdisciplinary, and computationally engaged research, teaching, and publishing."
"It brings digital tools and methods to the study of the humanities with the recognition that the printed word is no longer the main medium for knowledge production and distribution."
"By producing and using new applications and techniques, DH makes new kinds of teaching possible."
"It studies and critiquing how these [new applications and techniques] impact cultural heritage and digital culture."
"DH is also applied in research."
"A distinctive feature of DH is its cultivation of a two-way relationship between the humanities and the digital."
"...the field both employs technology in the pursuit of humanities research."
"...subjects technology to humanistic questioning and interrogation."
"Collaborative, transdisciplinary, and computationally engaged research, teaching, and publishing."
