Reconstructing Technology and the Humanities—A Review of An Introduction to Digital Humanities and Its Cutting-Edge Pedagogical Paradigm
Li Lan
Abstract: Amidst the current wave of digital technologies—such as Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) and big data—impacting traditional humanities research, the digital humanities has gradually ascended to become a core methodological paradigm. Edited by Professor Peng Qinglong and Professor Du Lanlan and published in 2024, An Introduction to Digital Humanities is a specialized textbook that combines a forward-looking perspective with strong pedagogical practicality. Structured around the framework of “Basic Concepts and Methods of Digital Humanities—Applications and Practices of Digital Humanities,” the book systematically synthesizes the field’s core ideas and practical approaches. With its focus on frontier topics, interdisciplinary case studies, and operational tool-and-method designs, it offers higher education a multi-level and diversified set of resources for teaching digital humanities. This book review will unfold from three dimensions: the frontier paradigm of the digital humanities, pedagogically empowering tools, and insights into the discipline’s future. It will explore how the book balances digital technology with humanistic care, revealing its contributions to the advancement of the digital humanities field and its unique value in constructing a digital humanities discourse system with Chinese characteristics.
