“普罗米修斯之火”还是“达摩克利斯之剑”:数字人文与图书情报学的理性思考

The Fire of Prometheus or the Sword of Damocles:Rational Thinking on Digital Humanities and Library and Information Science

[目的/意义]探讨数字人文的内涵及其与图书情报学的关系。[研究设计/方法]利用文献研究方法,对目前有关数字人文研究论著进行研读比较。[结论/发现]数字人文源于人文计算,对数字人文的理解主要有四个维度,即一门学科,一种研究方法,一种空间,一种实践。图书情报学应该抓住数字人文的契机进行学科自省和工作自省,从资源整合、加强与人文学者交流、嵌入生活三个方面参与数字人文,从而体现图书情报学在数字人文中的角色与地位。[创新/价值]为图书情报学界参与数字人文提供了一个相对理性和全面的视角。

[Purpose/Significance]This study aims to explore the essence of digital humanities and the relationship between digital humanities and library and information science (LIS).[Design/Methodology] Using the literature research method, this paper studies and compares current research on digital humanities.[Findings/Conclusion] Digital humanities originated from humanities computing and it has been defined as a discipline, a research method, a space and a practice. The rising of digital humanities provides a good opportunity for researchers of LIS to rethink about the discipline and their work. LIS should focus on resource integration, communication with researchers of humanities and other social sciences, and involvement of personal daily life.[Originality/Value] This paper provides a relatively rational and comprehensive perspective for the community of LIS to participate in digital humanities.
