Anastasiya Bonch-Osmolovskaya (Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia): Digital Invasion in Humanities Scholarship: Benefits, Expectations and Dismay


Digital humanities is an ambitious, but very diffuse domain, which seeks to introduce new computational methods, approaches and objects into the fields of traditional humanities. In spite of the rapid growth of its popularity during the last decade, benefits of integration of digital methods into traditional humanities scholarship remain a question of intensive debate. Do we really gain some new knowledge by using digital approaches, or is it just a matter of convenient applications? What are the standards of reliability in the digital humanities research? Why have digital methods still not invoked a drastic turn in scholarly methodology? In her talk, Anastasia Bonch-Osmolovskaya will outline the main scope of doubts and challenges concerning the digital paradigm in humanities. The talk will also focus on the two most inspirational concepts - "distant reading" and "smart data" - and their perspectives in future developments of digital humanities programme.
