HSR Vol. 37 (2012) 3, Special Issue: Manfred Thaller (Ed.): Controversies around the Digital Humanities

50 years after the first conference on the use of computer technology in the Humanities this Special Issue discusses the following questions: Should he Digital Humanities be understood more as a methodology or more as an infrastructure? Are really all the different national traditions of the field converging in today’s mainstream Digital Humanities view? Is there an overall methodology of the Digital Humanities, beyond solutions for individual disciplines? What is the role of markup? (e) How should infrastructures for the Digital Humanities be constructed? What is the relative importance of conceptual v. technical arguments in constructing Digital Humanities solutions? What is the relationship in well defined fields, as e.g. Digital Libraries, between abstract considerations and Computer Science?

The HSR 37.3 also contains the Focus Focus „Murder and Mass Murder in Pre-Modern Latin America“.
