2006,MEURIG BEYNON and others at Winwei's University of Computer Science, the University of Winway University, and others in "Human Calculation? The article pointed out in the article,"Humanity Computing" is the predecessor of digital humanities,It combines computer modeling technology and digital capabilities with text analysis and material comprehensive ability in the humanities.,Promoting scholars' exploring human conditions、Achievement、Activity and everything given the depth and breadth of things that gives human value and meaning。With the rapid development of the Internet in the 1990s and early 21st century,,The object of humanistic bet365 live casino games computing gradually extends from text research to history、Sociology、Art and other fields。In the book "Digital Humanities Guide" published by Blackville Publishing House in April 2001,"Digital Humanities" not only becomes a regular term,Instead of "humanistic computing", it becomes a cutting -edge representative in the field of western interdisciplinary research。

Since the term of "digital humanities",,Its abstract definition is constantly changing。2019,Researcher Camille Roth, a researcher at the French National Science Research Center, divides the research and practice of digital humanities into three categories: "Digitized Humanity",Refers to creation、Use and analyze digital human resources; "Numerical Humanity",Refers to exploring humanistic problems by calculating the model; "Humanities of the Digital),Refers to studying digital phenomena such as network communication from a humanistic perspective。2020,Manuel Burghardt, a professor at the University of Leipzig at the University of Leipzig, Germany, adds "Public Humanities" category,Special refers to academic exchanges of humanities disciplines、Digital publishing and digital learning。

2021,Boghart and others systematically discussed the relationship between digital humanities and other disciplines,and its positioning in the academic world。Boghart and others compared the papers published in "Computer and Human Sciences", "Literature and Language Calculation" and "Digital Humanities Season Journal" from 1990 to 2019,and other 15 discipline journal articles,Total 34041 articles。Research indicates,Digital humanities and computing linguistics and information sciences are extremely similar,and Sociology、Political Science、History、Literature、The highest average similarity of art history and theory。This can be seen,Digital humanities are not only an independent discipline,Still introduce digital information technology into the interdisciplinary practice of existing humanities。At the same time,Digital humanities also sharing research themes with nearby disciplines such as computing linguistics and information science。Very true,The limitations of this conclusion comes from the discipline that regards digital humanities bet365 live casino games as a constant development discipline,The development of other disciplines as a relatively static state。Boghart said,Scholars need to continue to follow up with discipline dynamics such as calculation of linguistics and information science,Grasp the relationship between the relationship between digital technology and digital humanities。

  Humanities and spiritual control digital technology

Although the field of digital humanities brings together the cultural world、High concern of educational institutions and government organizations,Some scholars believe that only adhere to the spirit of humanism and the concept of human -oriented,Only to avoid blind technology worship。John Hunter Professor John Hunter at the University of Barknell University in the United States said in "Digital Humanities and" Critical Theory ": Alarm Story of a System,Digital tool、The popularity of electronic equipment and networks does not guarantee that digital humanities discipline continues to be a meaningful system in the future。Although the humanistic scholars of the "digital tourism" generation can skimmed to use digital tools,But how to influence the spread of humanistic knowledge for digital technology、Consumption、Insufficient reflection of analysis and storage。At the same time,"Digital illiterate" has weakened the ability of the older generation of humanities to dominate academic development。When Google、Apple、Amazon and other Internet giants to re -formulate knowledge in the world,When controlling the channels for the public to obtain reliable information for the public,Humanities will not be able to ensure the right to speak academic traditions。So,Hunter said,Digital humanities scholars should adhere to the position of Johanna Drucker, a professor of information research at the University of California, Los Angeles, ",We are all humanists "。Disciplines of digital humanities can only prove the value and profitability of the times of humanism to the world,can open a new development path。

Professor Roberto Therma at the Department of Computer Science and Automation of the University of Salamanca, Spain and Eveeline Wandl-Vogt, director of research head of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, in the "Digital Humanities Discipline) New Trends pointed out,bet365 Play online games The success of any digital humanistic project is inseparable from the actual needs of the participants to understand the actual needs of the project,Design experimental method from the perspective of human -machine interaction,Select programming tool,Arrange cross -domain team cooperation, etc.。Due to the earlier time when computer technology is involved in other disciplines,Digital humanities must be careful of digital technology experience of other disciplines with caution,Flexible digital facilities that are conducive to the standardization of humanities、Framework、Model and tool。For example,Digital humanistic projects are generated、The number of digital resources stored and analyzed is usually very large,Use interactive style、Visualization and other user interface forms help restore the humanity of the data of literature data。Professor of Digital Cultural Heritage at the University of Edinburgh Design Information Science、"Digital Humanities Guide" editor -in -chief of Melissa Terras told reporters,Elimination of language barriers will expand the communication space of digital humanistic projects。But,More time in this field、Resources and personal efforts to improve the application efficiency of language technologies such as translation tools。

  Improve cultural inclusiveness in the field of digital humanities

Professor of Digital Publishing and Digital Humanities Research Center of Beijing Normal University、Simon Mahony (Simon Mahony), a digital humanities professor at the University of London, the University of London, British, told reporters,Although the concepts of digital humanities are based on open international communication and inclusive cultural communication, etc.,But currently English -based digital humanities communities exclude academic participation in most parts of the world。As English becomes a common language for computers and the Internet,Digital Humanities Discipline has developed for nearly 70 years in an English -based environment。Single of the discipline language leads to English -centric prejudice,Standards for the evaluation standards of digital humanities,Restricted research theme。So far,Main research centers in the field of digital humanities、Associations bet365 live casino games and portals are established in the United States and the United Kingdom; the famous digital humanities issue focuses on publishing、Promotion、Funding English works。Moti proposed,Due to language barriers,Chinese and other non -Laidin's books can not be included in the digital humanistic catalog,It is also difficult to be cited by European and American colleagues。

Maini mentioned in "Cultural Diversity and Digital Humanities",The English cultural circle prejudice of the digital humanities discipline is not only manifested in language,It also involves the single nature of research materials。Since the era of humanities,Study European and American scholars in classical science and medieval century use computer technology to analyze data dense text materials。1941,Italian theologian Roberto Busa discovered,Study Thomas Aquina's Chinese Latin Premier "IN" (in,Inner) meaning in different contexts and contexts,You need to refer to the manuscript of more than 10 million Latin words。So,In 1949 Bosa and the United States International Commercial Machinery Company (IBM) created the Latin text library of "Thomas Book Index" to improve research efficiency。Although most digital humanistic materials still exist in the form of text,For example, the digital newspaper corpus of the British Library and the population census record of the National Archives,Western scholars are working hard to innovate research topics,Use computer technology to propose new text questions。Maini also said,Some digital humanities scholars turned to study non -text materials,For example, using non -destructive imaging technology to restore the text that was not visible on the ancient Egyptian coffin cover; use algorithm to assist in reorganizing mural fragments; sort out、Collect、Create a history of open source database, etc.。

Talking in the interview,The increasing cross -institutional cooperation with the dates is breaking through the cultural resistance of the English cultural circle,Social application value in the field of digital humanities。No matter which field、Which institution work,Digital humanists adhere to the vision of sharing human cultural heritage with the world。For example,The International Dunhuang Project launched bet365 Play online games in 1994 is one of the few that exceed the language restrictions and geographical boundaries,Digital humanistic projects that spread human cultural heritage to the world。This project cooperates with 22 institutions in 12 countries,All the manuscripts that were originally preserved in the east section of the Dunhuang City and the East Silk Road、Painting、Image information of textiles and artworks,Copywriting category、Research and Education Promotion and other work。From the perspective of Maini,The valuable point of the "International Dunhuang Project" is to make high -quality digital files for Dunhuang cultural relics scattered around the world,and bring them together in a virtual space,restore the integrity of the Dunhuang cultural system。This project not only inspires the world's great interest in Dunhuang learning,Also made the West acknowledged Chinese culture、Technology、Great debts of innovation and academics。,The results of the "International Dunhuang Project" are multi -language (English、Chinese、Russian、Japanese、German、French and Korean) Published on various custody websites,broaden the audience of Dunhuang Xue,Is a model for digital humanities academic communication and cultural tolerance。

In the past 70 years,The globalization process in the field of digital humanities is obvious to all。Digital Humanities Organization Alliance canceled the tradition of meeting alternating meetings in Europe and North America,Come to Sydney (2015)、Mexico City (2018) and Tokyo (2022) and other cities。But,Geographically tolerance is not necessarily equivalent to academic tolerance。In addition to improving the diversified level of digital humanities,Maini believes that Western scholars should be widely exposed to humanities and computer experts,Only realize that the digital humanities community is in culture、Language、Gender、Research theme and academic status diversity and creativity。

Last,Marion and Tellas expressed their concerns about the reduction of the budget of the humanities in the Western countries。In the UK,Government funding of humanities and arts is far lower than that of science and engineering,Leading many School of Humanities、Department、Course is facing a crisis bet365 best casino games that is closed or canceled。At the same time,The post -epidemic era gallery、Library、The budget of the archives and the museum is also becoming less。For this,Tellas Represents,Society must have a larger pursuit than business culture and consumer activities。From the perspective of Maini,Digital humanities are the vitality and value of re -displaying the humanities field,Key to win government funding and social attention。So,Digital humanist scholars need to keep the country's potential in art and humanistic research,Fight for the government's long -term support,Formulate a coherent management policy。Subsidiated multi -level interdisciplinary projects、Multi -language conference、Attendance of international exchange activities、Provide publishing and translation services,All are important strategic goals for the long -term development of digital humanities in the country。
