Reflections on the Development of Digital Humanities

Lecture presented to the Utrecht Conference of ADHO, 2019: my experience in the field of Humanities Computing/Digital Humanities, collocated in historical perspective, listing and briefly commenting what I have learned to be the essential theories which form our discipline. For this purpose, the fundamental disciplines are proposed, and their role in the discipline: computing theory, information and communication, formalization, algorithms and recursion; and, from humanities side, cybernetics, linguistics, semiotics, relational model, systems theory, modelization.
