Abstract

The growing importance of the computational turn deeply affected the landscape of the social sciences and humanities. One of the most profound transformations caused by the development of digital technologies is the changes of the practice conditions and the production of knowledge. In recent years, French academics working in the humanities and social sciences have been devoting attention to the practices of "Digital Humanities", a new territory that fosters collaboration, openness, and enhancement of knowledge. The scope of this work is bounded to ten special thematic issues in nine French academic journals. The aim is to map main themes and emerging practices, in terms of research, knowledge production and dissemination, and also the modalities that allow Digital Humanities to develop new social and editorial assignments. The corpus is composed of seventy-three articles in nine academic journals, dedicated to various and differentiated topics of "Digital Humanities".
