7 - Digital Humanities

GENERAL OBJECTIVES

Organised in an interdisciplinary and collaborative way, the Digital Humanities Research Group aims to critically analyse theories, methods and objects based on human activity and characterised by the attribute “digital”. It also analyses digital cultural and discursive practices and how knowledge can be organised and represented. It is therefore important to understand how electronic media shape research, i.e. how knowledge is created, interpreted, developed, shared and preserved, how it is processed and documented, and the role of the electronic environment in scientific publication, communication and debate.
