Digital Humaities: general approach (Semester 1)
Digital humanities bring a set of tools to the field of humanities and social sciences, in order to create new knowledge and to facilitate its dissemination, analysis and archiving, through computer technologies. They also constitute a trans-discipline and a research community, which will be questioned from a critical angle.
The Observatory of Digital Humanities at ENS-PSL proposes an introductory training in two levels. The first one aims at introducing students to research practices in a digital environment, for texts.
Practical information:
Validation: assessment will be based on active participation in the activities and practical work proposed. Students may attend classes on their own.
Sessions : September 30, October 4, October 28, November 25, December 9, 2024 and January 20, 2025.

Digital Humanities: a practical training (Semester 2)
The second level of the introductory course in digital humanities, this course - which does not require validation of level 1 - introduces students to digital tools and computational data analysis. No prior knowledge is required. These courses aim to provide a solid foundation in programming and corpus visualization. They encourage the appropriation of languages and techniques and allow, in fine, to be autonomous when it comes to producing and processing data digitally.
Practical information :
Validation: attendance and technical achievement using one of the tools discussed during the semester (creation of records in Dublin Core, transcription and encoding of a manuscript, creation of an interactive map, etc.).
Classes take place on Mondays from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at 45 rue d'Ulm, in the conference room of the Data Science Center (staircase B, 3rd floor).
Sessions: February 3, February 17, March 10, March 24, April 7 and May 5, 2025.
Registration: please write to lea.saint-raymond@ens.psl.eu for course validation. Auditors are welcome without prior authorization.
