As a result of rapid advancements in computer science during recent
decades, there has been an increased use of digital tools,
methodologies and sources in the field of digital humanities. While
opening up new opportunities for scholarship, many digital methods
and tools now used for humanities research have nevertheless been
developed by computer or data sciences and thus require a critical
understanding of their mode of operation and functionality. The
novel field of digital hermeneutics is meant to provide such a
critical and reflexive frame for digital humanities research by
acquiring digital literacy and skills. A new knowledge for the
assessment of digital data, research infrastructures, analytical
tools, and interpretative methods is needed, providing the
humanities scholar with the necessary munition for doing critical
research. The Doctoral Training Unit "Digital History and
Hermeneutics" at the University of Luxembourg applies this
analytical frame to 13 PhD projects. By combining a hermeneutic
reflection on the new digital practices of humanities scholarship
with hands-on experimentation with digital tools and methods, new
approaches and opportunities as well as limitations and flaws can
be addressed.
