Is There a Reception of Algorithm‑Based Research in Traditional Historical Scholarship? Three Case Studies from Academic “Trading Zones”: Three Case Studies from Academic “Trading Zones”

Publications: Contribution to bookChapterPeer Reviewed

Abstract

<jats:p>A decade or more into the ‘digital transformation’, Digital Humanities papers are notably absent in traditional research bibliographies. This study examines three use cases where non‑digital historiography could benefit from algorithm‑based research focused on the same subject matter: the medieval treatise Imitatio Christi, the rise of the Medici in fifteenth‑century Florence, and the French Encyclopédie. The conclusion is that without any convergence on content‑related matters, Digital Humanities might emerge as a separate historical discipline.</jats:p>
