Digital transitions

Like other contemporary transitions, the digital transition is a global turning point that has profoundly affected today's humanities and social sciences. The new scientific issues raised by the integration of technologies, their production, methods and philosophy into research include the ethics of algorithms and artificial intelligence, natively digital artistic creations, the digitisation of heritage, the digital economy, blockchains and new currencies, the sociology of networks, Internet law, e-tech, man-machine interfaces and the digital conversion of methods for disseminating science.

The digital transition affects both the objects of 'datafied' knowledge and the methods used to discover, analyse and validate these. It involves prior training and also the epistemology of the social sciences and humanities as well as the way in which these interact with society later in the process with the dissemination of knowledge, technology transfer in the form of start-ups and so forth. The methodological breaks with the past involved in the digital humanities and computational social sciences are inseparable from this transformation. It is also important to study these and support researchers and their teams.
