Digital Humanities

Overview

What you will study

The aim of the Digital Humanities course offered by Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi is to offer a transdisciplinary opening onto the digital society. The Internet revolution has brought about numerous upheavals in our society, from every point of view, and first and foremost at a technical and scientific level. The possibilities of the tools are extremely numerous and diverse and bring both multiple opportunities and major risks. Relationships between individuals have been profoundly modified by new modes of communication, which are constantly evolving with technical progress (Web 2.0, Web 3, artificial intelligence), generating new forms of social interaction (social networks, globalisation of exchanges, ubiquity of relationships) and mobility. Digital technology has also modified the forms of creation, as well as access to culture and the consumption of cultural goods and, more broadly, it questions our participation in society and the place of the individual in this new digital society.

It is all these aspects that the course proposes to bring to the knowledge of the participants, leaving them the opportunity to direct their learning towards various fields according to their aspirations.
