The Digital Turn in the Czech Humanities and Social Sciences

The publication documents, through a comprehensive set of interdisciplinary essays, the innovations that the so-called. brings a digital turn to the work of Czech social science and humanities scholars. The development of digital technologies is not only transforming society and culture, but also changing the disciplines that deal with these areas of human coexistence. Some of the studies deal with new digital phenomena and their impact on a range of issues that the social sciences and humanities must address. The empirically tuned chapters then follow a unified line of interpretation, in which the readers are first introduced to phenomena defined in the traditional disciplinary perspective and then demonstrate the application of digital techniques that can be used to grasp the area under study through computer analysis. < br> The book remains accessible to readers who have no prior knowledge of programming and specialist digital applications but are interested in learning more about ways to explore society and culture using data and computers.
