Digital Humanities? What’s That?

Vortrag
Abstract
This talk will provide an overview of the field of Digital Humanities, tracing its development from the 1940s as well as its antecedents, that arguably go all the way back to Leibniz. Several different perspectives will be covered on what it means to do work in the digital humanities, that arise from the size and sheer heterogeneity of the field. The talk will conclude with a discussion of the particular problems that research in the humanities poses for information science.
