The study course provides an introduction to the research field of digital humanities (“DH”), where humanistic inquiry meets digital technology. We will investigate the emerging field of digital humanities by examining the activities, platforms, tools, projects, and critical perspectives that constitute its current core practices. The study course will explore such conceptual issues as digital mapping, text analysis, information visualization, interface and metadata and network analysis. On the completion of the study course, the students will become familiar with the main concepts and various digital tools applicable to conduct research in the given field. Discussions and workshops assume no prior knowledge of the field or pre-existing technical or linguistic and/or social competencies.
