Are humanities and social sciences « late » on open
access ?
NEW PRACTICES
« 9. We call for open access to data and metadata, which must be documented and interoperable, both technically and
conceptually.10. We support the dissemination, exchange and free
modification of methods, code, formats and research findings. »
« New modes of research – connected, collaborative, horizontal,
multimodal, multidisciplinary and multilingual – are being developed. Digital practitioners are engaged in new activities and work with new
tools, building databases, developing software, analysing big
datasets, defining conceptual models, collaborating through wikis and pads, communicating through websites, blogs and other social
media. »
« In the field of Digital Humanities, experimental practices, reflexivity and
the collaborative elaboration of standards are deeply interconnected. They are, therefore, an occasion to rethink and extend the Humanities through new
materials, methods and hermeneutics. Furthermore, they represent an
opportunity to redefine our relationship to society through open access to cultural
heritage and the development of collaborative projects which also engage non-academic audiences. Thus, we see
them as pivotal in the future of the Humanities. »

Torill Mortensen, Thinking with my fingers
« Arguing is a basic ingredient of thinking: our way of structuring our thought would
have been very different without the powerful tool of verbal exchange. So, let's acknowledge that the Internet allows us to think and write in a much more natural way than the one imposed by the written culture
tradition: the dialogical dimension of our thinking is now enhanced by continuous,
liquid exchanges with others. »
