Program Overview
Microprogramme Cultures Numťriques
The digital humanities are the study of major questions of human culture through the creative and critical use of computer tools to gather, extract, organize, visualize, and disseminate information. This discipline touches all areas of the arts and humanities and enables projects such as the extraction of historical census data on a large scale, research in computer linguistics, computer-assisted language learning, and the mapping of sound and image patterns in videos or contemporary theatrical performances. One of the fundamental premises of digital humanities is the interdependence between culture and technology. By using and developing digital tools to search for and analyze information, we will deepen our knowledge and understanding of human culture and technology.
This program is offered in French and English.
