Main themes

The course will be dedicated to the appropriation of Digital Humanities as a discipline of critical analysis and appropriation of technologies around digital applied to the humanities and social sciences in the broad sense. It will consist in the practical and comparative study of the different fields of human and social sciences transformed by digital technology, in order to understand the objectives and methods pursued to do so and to appropriate the techniques implemented on a theoretical level. From a methodological and epistemological perspective, the following themes will have to be addressed (without excluding other potential themes): the digitalization of data, their processing, their transformation by digital means, the modalities and techniques for communicating these data to a more or less targeted public, but also the dialogue between digital specialists and non-specialists.
