数字人文研究的四个层次

Four Levels of Digital Humanities Research

数字人文是国内外新兴的文理交叉学科,在语言、文学、历史、艺术等诸多人文学科产生了重要影响。然而,不同的数字人文研究在理论、方法和技术上存在较大的差异,目前还缺乏宏观的理论阐释和梳理。本文从数字人文的发展史和研究实践出发,总结出数字人文研究的四个层次:人文数据集(或数据库)的建设,数字人文工具的开发使用,人文研究方法和范式的创新,人文领域和文化遗产的数字化重建。这四个层次的提出,可以更好地区分数字人文不同的研究目的和成果,推动数字人文在各学科领域的发展。

Digital humanities is an emerging interdisciplinary subject of arts and sciences at home and abroad,and has had an important impact on many humanities such as language,litera⁃ture,history,and art.However,there are many differences in theories,methods and techniques of different digital humanities research,and there is still a lack of macro theoretical explanation and sorting.Considering the history and research practice of digital humanities,this paper summarizes four levels of digital humanities research:the construction of humanities data sets(or databases),the development and use of digital humanities tools,the innovation of humanities research methods and paradigms,the humanities field and digital reconstruction of cultural heritage.The proposal of these four levels can better distinguish the different research purposes and results of digital humani⁃ties,and promote the development of digital humanities in various disciplines.
