Browsing the literature on debates, research, experiments and future is overwhelming, and every other day we witness the closing down of a traditional humanities subject, or we see funding being diverted to the technological experiments in humanities. It becomes imperative to engage with this revolution, also called 'digital humanities. What to do in the wake of this new epoch?

Or the digitalin the humanities world ... only future will tell.
