Beyond Digital Humanities Thinking Computationally: Position Paper

Résumé

In 'Beyond Digital Humanities: Thinking Computationally,' we delve into the evolving landscape of humanities research in the digital age. This paper critically examines the term 'Digital Humanities' (DH), highlighting its limitations as an umbrella term that often lacks specificity and depth. Building upon this critique, the authors argue for a more profound integration of computational thinking into humanities scholarship. They delineate how computational methods offer a rigorous, structured approach to tackling complex questions, transcending traditional dichotomies like old/new and digital/traditional. Through a range of examples, the paper showcases how computational methodologies can reshape research questions, foster interdisciplinary collaborations, and bring a new kind of literacy to the field. The authors also address the ethical and epistemological considerations that come with the adoption of these new tools. Ultimately, the paper posits that the future of humanities research lies not in abandoning traditional methods, but in harmonizing them with computational approaches to create a richer, more nuanced understanding of the human experience.
