"Digital Humanities / Humanidades Digitales / Informatica Umanistica. An intercultural dialogue."
The so-called "digital humanities" are taking root at international and institutional levels.
Through the creation of new centers and new organizations it is possible to attract both resourses
and funding, since a “digital” component is looked upon favorably by funding bodies. But while the
digital humanities can be a powerful tool for innovation, one must not forget that no technology
is culturally neutral. This round table aims to reflect on the phenomenon of DH from the point of
view of society and the culture of the "South," questioning the uncritical adoption of epistemological and cultural patterns arising from the Global North and offering an alternative vision of the relationship between knowledge, territories, and digital technologies.
