Ce que le numérique fait aux sciences humaines et sociales.

Abstract

The Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) have long been debated in terms of their scientific nature: the position of the researcher (neutral, committed, critical), their supposed subjective nature and the role of methods and tools used... However, in the digital area, stakes have changed and debates have been renewed. HSS are subject to profound changes because of their new methods, their new practical research conditions and their new roots in the social world. The potential opportunities of digital HSS does not preclude the need for a continued examination of the tools mobilized and their inherent values.
