With the emergence of digitalization and informatization,,People have entered a new digital era。This era not only gives technology、Commercial and other fields have brought huge changes,I also put forward new requirements and challenges for the humanities。The arrival of the digital era makes the humanities needs to think about how to innovate methodology to cope with new situations and problems,At the same time, it also needs to be closer to other disciplines,To broaden the border of the discipline and enrich the research perspective。

In the era of digitalization,Humanities' disciplines need to innovate methodology because of the rapid development of digitalization and informatization have a profound impact on society,I also put forward new requirements and challenges for the humanities。First of all, in terms of changes in resources and tools,For example,Digital era brings a lot of digital files、Online database and information resources,enable researchers to obtain and use data。At the same time,The progress of digital tools and technology provides more powerful analysis and visual tools for humanities。If you do not perform methodology innovation at this time,Humanities may not make full use of these new resources and tools,thereby limiting the depth and breadth of research。Followed by the update of theoretical and methods,In the background of the digital age,Traditional research methods may not be able to deal with new problems and situations。For example,When facing a large amount of digital text,Traditional manual analysis methods may be inefficient and difficult to cover the overall situation。Innovative digital humanistic methods can help researchers of humanities develop research methods that are more adaptable to the digital age,such as text analysis and network analysis, etc.,in order to better analyze and interpret humanistic phenomena。Finally, in terms of the needs of discipline integration,The arrival of the digital era has strengthened the cross and fusion between different disciplines,Especially the "New Engineering in 2019 to achieve the modernization of Chinese education、New Medicine、New Rural Science、New Liberal Arts "Construction,Humanities need to be scientific、Technical and social sciences and other fields to cooperate wider cooperation,Only to cope with more complicated bet365 live casino games practical problems。Innovative methodology can help humanities find a common language and research framework in the integration,Promote cross -disciplinary cooperation and knowledge exchange。The above is the reason for the innovation of the humanities methodology。

So,How to innovate the humanistic discipline? By the history of thought that I have been engaged in the past、Digital steering attempts in the history of conceptual and conceptual history as an example,You can summarize two methodology of methodology。

First,Based on the existing humanistic theoretical methods in the area, the digital translation can be translated。For example,German concept history scholar Lai Xiate has proposed when inspecting the development of concepts,Can't only examine a single concept,The concept of peer -to -peer concept of the study concept should be considered at the same time、Concepts of opposite、Conceptual network theory supplement concept。I based on this theoretical method,Cited social network analysis,Confrontation judged by the past、Equation、Supplementary concepts are determined by calculating models,and show the so -called concept network of Lai Xiate through visualized fixtures。In addition,I found that except opposite、Equation、Supplementary concepts outside,The calculation model also saw the "mutual concept" that Lai Xiat could not see,That is, the two concepts are significant and mutually exclusive,A concept appears,Another concept must not appear。These discoveries highlight the contribution of innovative research on traditional humanities' theoretical methods using digital humanistic methods,It can expand the facial appearance that the mankind method theory can touch in the past,More comprehensive observation of the development clues of ideological concepts。

Next,You can focus on research problems,Gather and reorganize all digital humanistic methods that can answer questions to achieve methodology innovation。For example,In order to discuss the concept of "Tao" in Chinese traditional ideas, the evolution of the concept of "Tao" is evolved in modern times,What kind of form does "Tao" reproduce? What changes are there?,The method of extracting with affixes from more than 100 million words of "Professional Database (1830-1930)" of more than 100 million words has taken the top three of the concept of "Tao" in modern times,According to the frequency of use, it is humanitarian、Fair、Tiandao; and in order to understand the development of these three concepts Bet365 app download in modern times,combined with cusum technology,Detailed use ratio of these three concepts in the era of modern transformation of China 1840-1925,Further discovers the durable development process from heaven to justice to the end of humanity; and in order to understand the connection relationship between these three concepts,combined with network analysis technology,With these three concepts as the core,With their common concept as the branch point,A Tiandao、Fair、The concept of humanitarian concept network diagram。Discover it,Turn from "Tiandao" to "Justice" is done with a group of concepts,The most important concept of which is "human heart",From "fairness" to "humanity" is the concept of "justice"。Through the above study,Can reveal the development and change of "Dao" in the history of modern Chinese thoughts in huge amounts of language。

The emergence of the digital humanities itself as a interdisciplinary is a result of a methodology innovation,Researchers are because of the need to answer actual humanistic questions,Only go to find various digital methods to solve it,So digital humanities are a digital humanities that are native to humanistic problems。After more than ten years of development,When some digital humanistic methods are set,Many young students who have invested in digital humanistic research now go from digital humanities to find humanities,This is easy to become a "use method" without "innovative method"。This is where the author is anxious,The development of Chinese digital human literature cannot just repeat the use of some methods formed in the past,Must push one step forward。Students of the new generation of digital humanities should always take innovative methods as their job,Because "Not innovation,No digital humanities "。Of course,In the process of cross -disciplinary methodology,Still need to continue to reflect and adjust methodology,to gradually improve the quality and depth of the research of humanities disciplines。Through these steps,We can promote the methodology innovation of the humanities discipline,and open up new cutting edges for the study of humanities in the digital era。

  Challenge and limit of discipline fusion

Since the concept of "interdisciplinary" was officially proposed in the early 20th century,The academic community keeps going to various practical attempts,In these hundred years,You can see the advantages and disadvantages of cross -disciplinary research。The advantage is that it can gather experts and skills of experts in different fields,Solving bet365 Play online games complex problems together,Therefore, to obtain deeper insights and more comprehensive solutions than a single discipline。But,There are also some problems with interdisciplinary research,If the unity of research goals and research methods,Insufficient depth and accuracy that may lead to research。Digital humanities as a "interdisciplinary" character,At the same time carrying its advantages and disadvantages。If the research results of digital human literature in the past ten years,Indeed, many scholars can use the cross -disciplinary cooperation of digital technology to show the visualization of humanistic scholars in the past with "inextricable" humanities.,solved many important humanities problems,I got the more than literature、History、A single discipline such as art and other deeper research results。But its disadvantages are also obvious,If the computer field continues to pursue the accuracy of calculation results,The humanities are looking for a digital humanistic research without accuracy for the final standard。Based on the author's long -term engaging in cross -disciplinary digital humanities research experience,Talk about two points on the challenges and limits of discipline integration。

One,Challenges of cross -disciplinary cooperation and interdisciplinary education。Discipline integration requires communication and cooperation between different disciplines,But due to the discipline boundary and professional terms,Interdisciplinary cooperation has problems with communication obstacles and theoretical conflicts。For example,I learned that some schools in order to conduct cross -disciplinary teaching training,A variety of programming courses for humanities and students,But there is a problem gap in among them,That is, the professor's programming teachers are from computer majors,Students who study are humanistic categories such as Chinese、History、Students from the Department of Philosophy,Teachers and students have their own professors and learning in different professional fields,At the end, all the practice cases of the teacher programming code have nothing to do with humanities,Humanities have not been fully understood and followed,I won't think about using programming in the field of humanities in the art at all for research。This situation is a very severe cross -domain challenge that is currently encountered,Need the school to provide a more comprehensive and detailed cross -disciplinary cooperation plan,and a professional cross -disciplinary bet365 best casino games teacher team with professional cross -disciplinary teachers to coordinate collaboration between different disciplines。other,It is also necessary to arrange students to participate in the courses of different disciplines,To better understand and master the knowledge and skills of cross -disciplinary teaching。Only really want to cross the discipline,and really make various organizational system arrangements for interdisciplinary disciplines,can truly implement interdisciplinary,instead of slogan。In cross -disciplinary cooperation,Knowledge and viewpoint of understanding and respecting different disciplines is very important,Only in this way can we truly realize discipline integration,Make greater contributions to talent training and social development。

Its two,The limit of discipline fusion。Disciplinary fusion is not a simple additional operation,There are still certain differences and contradictions between different disciplines,You need to find a balance point in the fusion。In terms of digital human literature,Not simply put the computer、Statistics、Chinese、History、Art、Philosophy and other disciplines can form a good digital humanities research,The final question that each discipline wants to answer in the art is that there is something different。For example,I used the word vector method in the computer field to calculate the "New Youth" (Volume 1-11),What is the concept of the concept of "fine art"。The result I got later was music、Art、Literature、Drama、Science、Popular、Philosophy、Enlightened、New Literature、Ten concepts of religion,A similar concept can be understood,But I am curious about why the concepts of "people" and "art" are similar,Back to "New Youth" to check,But I did not see what kind of similar relationship between them。

After that, I realized one thing,Disciplinary fusion must have a limit,Although the word vector method can ensure that the trained word vector is similar to similar words,But there are two points that cannot be guaranteed,The first is that it cannot guarantee the same results every time,The second is that the researchers cannot return to the text to find the similar distance visible to the naked eye。That is, setting up the 600 -dimensional high -dimensional vector of the "art" conceptual word vector in the author's setting in the author,Only a few dimensions may be related to human intuitive concepts,For example, gender、Emotional tendency、Semantic distance, etc.,but,Most dimensions cannot be directly understood,Because they are automatically bet365 Play online games generated during the training process。So,Whether humanistic research can believe and use the problem of results calculated based on a method that cannot be understood by a humanistic scholar。Of course,It is very suitable to apply the word vector method to the social practical field that does not take precision as the final requirement,If you calculate social media user emotional words similar to the emotional analysis model,Help automatically identify and understand the emotional tendency of users in social media、Public opinion tendency, etc.; Or to provide more accurate search results or personalized recommendations; even public opinion monitoring and event testing。These aspects can allow errors,I don't need to ask what the correlation dimension of "unknown" is,But human research research is not so,You must know "so"。So,Although we embrace "interdisciplinary",But we must also realize its "limit",Then look for a balance point,For better subject fusion。

  Keep the collaboration between disciplines

So,Under the concept of interdisciplinary,Digital humanities as one of the representations,How do you take the relationship between the two major areas of numbers and humanities? the author thinks,The cross -disciplinary framework of digital human literature is not a form of disorder,Instead, you should maintain the tension of collaboration between disciplines and competition,Because this tension can promote innovation and progress between disciplines,Let digital humanities play greater value in different fields。As for why you can't fully abundant discipline boundaries,The main reason is that if it is the discipline line of the discipline,Digital humanities scholars have lost the conservation of this discipline,It will not be able to propose important humanities issues suitable for research with digital humanities,Because there is no professional understanding of a certain discipline for a long time,The core of the problem cannot be deepened。

For example,When many students do digital humanistic practice,I like to practice "Dream of Red Mansions",Because the text is easy to get。But these students are often not students from the Chinese department,So they use the social network analysis method to depict all the characters in "Dream of Red Mansions",Using text exploration method to remove the words used in "Dream of Red Mansions" frequently, and then make a rough analysis,even use text style to learn whether the first eighty times and the last forty times are the same author。Professional students in Chinese Department,Bet365 lotto review Learning for the study of Chinese classical novel research based on its own long -term,The title of "Jie Daiyi" is directly based on the important humanistic problems in the Red Studies,Use various digital humanistic methods to calculate the words of the words about Baoji and Daiyu in comparative novels、Emotional calculation and other phenomena,Discussion on the important issue of "Dai Daiyi" in the Red Studies。

This can be seen,Digital humanities as interdisciplinary research still at the bottom of humanities,The accumulation and existence of the art is the primary step of the digital humanities issues that are raised。But,The development of digital human literature really requires cross -disciplinary collaboration,The professional knowledge and skills of each discipline can be supplemented with each other,Jointly promote the development of digital humanities。In the development of digital humanities in interdisciplinary,We should follow open、Share、Principles of cooperation,Promote the development of digital humanities,Contribute to the prosperity and development of human civilization。
