Short description

Digital Humanities is a buzzword and as such, the very concept and related research approaches are subject to immensely opinionated discussions both in printed and digital media, inside as well as outside of academia. But what are digital humanities? A new discipline within the ‘traditional’ or one opposed to the ‘traditional’ humanities? A mere set of methods and technologies imported from computer sciences? Or a certain way of perceiving and engaging with modern humanities research?
