Scientific divulgation before the post-truth and the crisis of credibility of science in the context of Digital Humanities

Posté le par

Authors : Dheyvid Adriano do Livramento Chaves, Edgar Bisset Alvarez

This article proposes to reflect, in the light of Digital Humanities, on the influence of post-truth on the credibility crisis of science. The objective is to identify the role of scientific divulgation in the recovery of science’s credibility and combat post-truth and the possibilities of using social networks for scientific divulgation by public universities.

When defining itself as descriptive, the research seeks to accomplish an analysis of the benefits and contributions that can result in the contextualization of the problem with the field of knowledge regarding the Digital Humanities.

The results showed that scientific divulgation through social networks contributes to combating the effects of post-truth culture and, consequently, recovering the credibility of science.

Finally, it was concluded that the protagonists actors in the promotion of scientific divulgation strategies are public universities, because they have the democratization of access to knowledge as a social commitment.

Humanités numériques & Sciences de l’information : ressemblance, complémentarité et développements mutualisés

Posté le par

Auteur/Author : Basma Makhlouf Shabou

Cet article examine la relation entre les humanités numériques et les sciences de l’information, discutant de leurs similarités et de leur complémentarité, et conclut avec des études de cas illustratives et des définitions de termes clés. Les deux disciplines sont liées à la technologie numérique, à l’information et aux objets culturels, au comportement humain et sont centrales à la gestion et l’analyse de données.

Les sciences de l’information sont responsables de la préparation des données et de leur gestion tout au long de leur cycle de vie, tandis que les humanités numériques ont un potentiel important dans l’utilisation des archives et des collections spéciales comme laboratoires de recherche.

L’article aborde également le rôle de l’automatisation et de l’intelligence artificielle dans le développement de techniques et de méthodes utilisées dans les humanités numériques. Il explore des études de cas inspirantes dans le monde des bibliothèques et des archives, mettant en évidence le rôle culturel et les relations interdisciplinaires et transdisciplinaires impliquées.

Les exemples comprennent des archives numériques dans le domaine artistique, des institutions nationales et des projets européens tels que la Bibliothèque européenne et Time Machine Europe, qui combinent les humanités numériques et les sciences de l’information.

L’article conclut en soulignant la relation interdisciplinaire et transdisciplinaire continue entre les humanités numériques et les sciences de l’information, ainsi que les défis et les développements futurs dans le domaine.

Neither Computer Science, nor Information Studies, nor Humanities Enough: What Is the Status of a Digital Humanities Conference Paper?

Posté le par

Authors : Laura Estill, Jennifer Guiliano

This paper explores the disciplinary and regional conventions that surround the status of conference papers throughout their lifecycle from submission/abstract, review, presentation, and in some cases, publication.

Focusing on national and international Digital Humanities conferences, while also acknowledging disciplinary conferences that inform Digital Humanities, this paper blends close readings of conference calls for papers with analysis of conference practices to reckon with what constitutes a conference submission and its status in relationship to disciplinary conventions, peer review, and publication outcomes.

Ultimately, we argue that the best practice for Digital Humanities conferences is to be clear on the review and publication process so that participants can gauge how to accurately reflect their contributions.

An Open Social Scholarship Path for the Humanities

Authors : Alyssa Arbuckle, Ray Siemens, Jon Bath, Constance Crompton, Laura Estill, Tanja Niemann, Jon Saklofkse, Lynne Siemens

Open digital scholarship is significant for facilitating public access to and engagement with research, and as a foundation for growing digital scholarly infrastructure around the world today and in the future. But the path to adopting open, digital scholarship on a national—never mind international—scale is challenged by several real, pragmatic issues. In this article, we consider these issues as well as proactive strategies for the realization of robust, inclusive, publicly engaged, open scholarship in digital form.

We draw on the INKE Partnership’s central goal of fostering open social scholarship (academic practice that enables the creation, dissemination, and engagement of open research by specialists and non-specialists in accessible and significant ways).

In doing so, we look to pursue more open, and more social, scholarly activities through knowledge mobilization, community training, public engagement, and policy recommendations in order to understand and address challenges facing digital scholarly communication.

We then provide tangible details, outlining how the INKE Partnership puts open social scholarship theory into practice, with an eye to a more open and engaged future.

The renewal of the digital humanities. An overview of the transformation of professions in the humanities and social sciences

Posté le par

Authors : Marie-Laure Massot, Agnès Tricoche

This article presents a study of the French-speaking digital humanities. It is based on the experience of two research engineers from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) who have been studying these issues for the last ten years.

They conducted a survey at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS-Paris) which enabled them to draw up an overview of the transformation of the profession of humanities and social sciences research engineers in the context of the digital humanities.

The Digit_Hum initiative, which they run in parallel with their respective activities at the ENS, also provided information for this overview thanks to its role as a space for discussion about the digital humanities along with training and structuring of this field at the ENS and the Université Paris Sciences & Lettres (PSL).

Revisiting the digital humanities through the lens of Indigenous studies—or how to question the cultural blindness of our technologies and practices

Posté le par

Author : Coppélie Cocq

This article examines the benefits of putting Indigenous perspectives and the digital humanities (DH) in conversation with each other in order to elaborate a DH approach that is suitable for Indigenous research and to suggest critical perspectives for a more sustainable DH.

For this purpose, the article examines practices of data harvesting, categorizing, and sharing from the perspectives of groups in the margin, more specifically in relation to Sámi research. Previous research has emphasized the role of cultural and social contexts in the design, use, and adaptation of technologies in general, and digital technologies in particular (Douglas, 1987. Inventing American broadcasting; Nissenbaum, 2001. Computer, 34, 118–120; Powell & Aitken, 2011.

The American literature scholar in the digital age) and several scholars have argued for how the application of critical studies make a fruitful contribution to the DH (Liu, 2012. Debates in the digital humanities; McPherson, 2012. Debates in the digital humanities).

This article suggests an approach that addresses a need to acknowledge the diversity of technoscientific traditions. The perspectives of Indigenous groups bring this matter to a head. In order to make the DH more sustainable and inclusive, the development of the DH should be driven by cultural studies to a greater extent than it has been so far.

A sustainable DH also means a better rendering of the plurality of the cultural values, perspectives, and ethics that characterize our fieldwork and research subjects.
