Abstract(s)
O estudo de corpora de eras antigas tem sempre envolvido processos complexos, essencialmente no que respeita a acesso e manuseamento. Os repositórios digitais estão a eliminar obstáculos e a gerar um novo modo de relação entre as obras e os que com elas lidam, académicos ou não: podemos agora visitar bibliotecas e museus a partir dos nossos computadores, aceder a coleções privadas e, inclusive, descobrir pormenores em textos e pinturas que, de outro modo, não conseguiríamos captar.As Humanidades Digitais constituem um campo vasto e complexo, com um desenvolvimento assinalável nos últimos anos, no seio da conjuntura ampla da computação e das tecnologias digitais. Não nos focaremos na sua definição, nem na reflexão teórica em curso, mas antes nas características mais significativas das Humanidades Digitais – a sua transversalidade e as suas potencialidades. Num primeiro momento, apresentaremos uma compilação de repositórios digitais que consideramos relevantes para os Estudos Early Modern; num segundo momento, exploraremos dois deles, as suas características e as suas mais-valias como ferramentas digitais usadas para expandir a nossa capacidade de estudar e desenvolver investigação nas Artes e Humanidades, especificamente as do período Early Modern: Primary Sources – Early Modern Resources; The Newberry – Medieval, Renaissance, and Early Modern Studies.
The study of corpora of ancient eras has always involved complex processes, essentially regarding access and handling. The digital repositories are erasing obstacles and generating a new kind of relationship between the works and the ones who deal with them, scholars or not: we can now visit libraries and museums from our computers, peruse private collections, and even spot details in texts and paintings that would otherwise remain hidden to the eye.Digital Humanities constitutes a vast, complex field which has had a remarkable development in the last years, within the broad conjuncture of computing and digital technologies. We will not focus on its definition, or on the theoretical reflection that is being produced, but rather on the most significant characteristics of Digital Humanities – its transversality and its potentialities. In a first moment, we will present a compilation of digital repositories that we consider relevant to Early Modern Studies; in a second moment, we will survey two of them, their characteristics and assets as digital tools used to expand our ability to study and undertake research in the Arts and Humanities, specifically in Early Modern Times: Primary Sources – Early Modern Resources; The Newberry – Medieval, Renaissance, and Early Modern Studies.
