Contexts of Digital Humanities in Japan

Author(s):  
Kiyonori Nagasaki

This chapter describes the brief history and recent trends in digital humanities in Japan, which had been led within the context of IT (information technology) and recently has strongly involved humanities researchers. According to the analysis of 991 technical reports by the Special Interest Group for Computers and Humanities (SIG-CH), the fields of linguistics and literary studies have been dominant while recently the history field has been increasing its number of the presentations, and many other fields in the humanities have been treated in a small percentage. Japanese texts have some difficulties in the digital environments. Although the recent developments in IT partially solve them, other attempts to improve the DH research environment have been activated. The policy of Japanese government to promote open science and open data will make DH in Japan more fruitful in the future.

RESUMEN Vivimos en la era de la revolución de los laboratorios. La emergencia de los laboratorios, como espacios para la experimentación y la producción colaborativa y experimental, abre la discusión sobre la manera en que nos aproximamos a la complejidad social. En este texto buscamos discutir sus posibilidades como marco común, modelo, prototipo, práctica o metodología para repensar la universidad como institución y el campo de las humanidades digitales. Consideramos necesario un diálogo más profundo con iniciativas relativas a la ciencia abierta y ciudadana, el aprendizaje distribuido y los datos abiertos, más cercanas a los movimientos sociales que a la cultura académica. Reflexionamos sobre las posibilidades de incorporar la cultura del laboratorio para promover, difundir, documentar y facilitar procesos de producción de conocimiento abierto en Iberoamérica, que sirva a la vez como una oportunidad para la transformación social e institucional.Palabras clave: Laboratorios Ciudadanos; Humanidades Digitales; Innovación Ciudadana; Ciencia Abierta; Conocimiento Abierto.RESUMO Vivemos na era da revolução dos laboratórios.

The emergence of laboratories, as spaces for experimentation and collaborative and experimental production, opens the discussion about how we approach social complexity. In this paper we seek to discuss their possibilities as a common framework, model, prototype, practice, or methodology to rethink the university as an institution and the field of digital humanities. We deem it necessary to have a deeper dialogue with initiatives related to open and citizen science, distributed learning and open data, closer to social movements than to academic culture. We reflect on the possibilities of incorporating the lab culture to promote, disseminate, document, and facilitate processes of open knowledge production in Iberoamerica, which becomes an opportunity for both social and institutional transformation.Keywords: Citizen Labs; Digital Humanities; Citizen Innovation; Open Science; Open Knowledge.
