Abstract

The publication in 2004 of "A companion to digital humanities" was a milestone in the emergence of Digital Humanities (DH) both as a field of study per se, and also as the term that would be used to designate it. [...].

The emergence of this specific field of study took place in view of the growth of the use of computational methods in the humanities and social sciences, which, exceeding the limits of the technological field of computing and informatics, to which they were largely restricted until the 1990s, expanded to the social, cultural and artistic fields.
