The increasing prevalence of computer models within humanities research has raised a number of challenges for humanities scholars. Chief among them are the ways in which computational modelling fundamentally transforms the conventional methodologies and epistemological frameworks that have long defined research within the humanities. In Modelling Between Digital and Humanities: Thinking in Practice (2023), Arianna Ciula, Øyvind Eide, Cristina Marras, and Patrick Sahle evaluate the impact of this paradigm shift on humanities scholarship and varying strategies for addressing the challenges that it presents. In particular, the authors take up the idea of formulating a new digital humanities mode of thinking that can enable the humanities to adapt and thrive in the digital age while retaining their core values.
