Reprezentacje humanistyki cyfrowej w polskim dyskursie naukowym

Abstract

The Digital Humanities i s a widely c onsidered p henomenon i n t he c ontemporary d iscursive space. The consistent definition of the DH is still absent and establishing its characteristic features, boundaries, and the scope of this idea is still pending. Thus, the aim of this article is an attempt to study the ways of representation and conceptualisation of this currently trendy name used in texts of the Polish language academic discourse. The discursive perspective that was adopted during the exploration of the collected sources enabled the authors to distinguish the crucial features of the Digital Humanities. What is more, the evolutionary and open nature of the discussed conceptual category were proved. The DH seems to transcend the frameworks of academic discourse whose identification is based on the institutional criterion of reference.
