Digital Humanities: Research on literature, history, language, art, and music in digital form — from research processes and analytical methods to forms of publication.

As a bridge discipline between IT and the humanities, the “DH” operate not only in an applied sense but also transformatively: they critically evaluate, through discourse, which aspects of ongoing digitalization can be beneficially used for scholarly practice.

At the same time, they often stir up controversy when it comes to disrupting established academic processes — for example, when dealing with Open Source, Open Science, Open Data, as well as the FAIR and CARE principles, or with non-proprietary standards.

As Digital Humanists, we therefore not only accompany the digitalization of cultural documents and scholarly (bureaucratic) work but also of work processes themselves — with the aim of establishing, in the process, a freer, fairer, more sustainable, more accessible, more open, and more digitally sovereign scholarly practice — true to our motto: “Digital Humanities for All,” or in short: DHall.
