The digital revolution gradually affected all
fields of life and touched most of the dimensions of the humanities and social
sciences, and changed, or rather broadened, the horizons of epistemological
visions related to these sciences. By automating the humanities and social
sciences, we do not mean reducing digital to mere tools, but rather defines its
importance through its ability to model complex systems and establish links
between technology and the humanities in all its branches. Therefore, it is
necessary to reconsider the academic and cognitive paths of the humanities, by
introducing informatics and technologies into the educational curricula for
students of humanities, social and media sciences, with the aim of keeping pace
with changes in order for these sciences to adapt to digital change and to move
to what we call digital humanities.
