VII Seminar Anthropology and Image
Image and Knowledge: The Humanities in the Contemporary Digital Scene
Why think about digital from the humanities?
The digital humanities have radically transformed the way we produce, visualise and share knowledge. The incorporation of emerging technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, digital environments, 360º video, advanced data visualisation, 3D modelling, photogrammetry and deep learning models not only introduces new tools, but also forces us to critically rethink research methods, analytical approaches and scientific communication strategies. It also means rethinking what we mean by interdisciplinarity.
This new scenario is not limited to a technological update: it implies a real paradigm that transforms the ways of generating, organising and communicating knowledge. Interactive visualisation, experimentation with mixed realities and collaborative digital environments promote new relationship dynamics between researchers, audiences and study materials.
In this context, the humanities do not only adopt digital technologies: they critically integrate them, questioning their scope, limitations and ethical, cultural and social implications. Thinking about the digital from the humanities is today an essential task in order to understand how technologies shape our ways of seeing, knowing and inhabiting the world. At the same time, the critical incorporation of the digital opens up new possibilities for the development of interdisciplinary methodologies, capable of articulating diverse knowledge, expanding research methods and proposing new ways of creating and communicating science.
In this sense, the conference will offer a space for reflection and debate through thematic round tables, workshops and conferences, with the participation of research teams from our Faculty and special guests, who will share their experiences, projects and perspectives on the contemporary challenges of digital humanities.
