Lehrinhalte: What is digital history? To where can we trace the origins of the ‘digital turn’ in history? What are the central concepts of the field? What are its most commonly used methods and techniques? Through which digital history projects and formal publications can we explore these questions? And where might the research trajectory of this field turn next? This lecture series will introduce students to core concepts and contexts of digital history. It will begin with an examination of the origins and development of the field as seen through scholarship like History from Below and Humanities Computing; core concepts and methods of digital history, and digitally-augmented historical research more widely, will then be explored, including: digitisation and information extraction; digital hermeneutics and source criticism; text markup and structured text; automated named entity recognition; text mining and quantitative approaches to historical analysis; network analysis; and linked open data. Spotlights will also be placed on core emerging approaches or problematics of the field, for example, digital oral history, sound as data and also on those aspects that have often been overlooked in writings on digital history, for example, the gendered, knowledge production hierarchies that have underpinned authoritative projects in the field.
