Abstract

Abstract:During the last decade in China, digital humanities (DH) has rapidly developed as a research area, attracting widening circles of inquiry and gaining prominence as an internationally recognized emerging discipline. In order to review the history and current status of DH scholarship in China, the research team conducted historical analysis and bibliometrics to reveal the conception and development of DH in China. The research findings indicate that the history of the evolution of DH in China may best be divided into two stages. In the preliminary period, DH had just been introduced into China, and emphasis was placed on the exploration of its connotation. Once the concept had been explored and research about DH had been widely accepted, DH in China gradually entered into the phase of rapid development, in which China witnessed a wide variety of DH inquiries and applications in the field of library and information science, linguistics, history, literature, art, cultural heritage preservation, and so on. DH in China is facing opportunities as well as challenges with regard to digital practice, such as DH infrastructure, interdisciplinary research, and DH education. As an essential part of DH communities in China, libraries are playing an important role in resource construction, space sharing, and training services, which may provide strong support to deal with opportunities and challenges in the future.

中国数字人文的演进

摘要:近十年来，数字人文学科作为一个研究领域在中国迅速发展，吸引了越来越广泛的研究圈子，并作为一门国际公认的新兴学科获得了突出的地位。为了回顾中国卫生学研究的历史和现状，研究团队进行了历史分析和文献计量学，揭示了卫生学在中国的概念和发展。研究结果表明，中国DH的进化史最好分为两个阶段。在初期，卫生保健刚刚传入中国，重点是对其内涵的探索。随着对卫生保健概念的探索和对卫生保健研究的广泛接受，卫生保健在中国逐渐进入了快速发展的阶段，在图书馆情报学、语言学、历史、文学、艺术、文化遗产保护等领域出现了各种卫生保健的查询和应用。中国的卫生保健在数字化实践方面既面临机遇，也面临挑战，例如卫生保健基础设施、跨学科研究和卫生保健教育。图书馆作为中国卫生保健社区的重要组成部分，在资源建设、空间共享、培训服务等方面发挥着重要作用，可以为应对未来的机遇和挑战提供强有力的支持。
