| Summary: | The title of this paper indirectly refers to the theme of the 2014
Conference on Digital Humanities in German-Speaking Areas
(Digital Humanities – methodischer Brückenschlag oder
›feindliche Übernahme‹?). I assume from this title that
computer science is viewed as the originator of such a deliberate
conquest. The first section of this paper explores how computer science,
the headquarters of the enemy threatening to conquer our
disciplines, also experienced and overcame an uncertain period of early
development. The history of this discipline could serve as a source of
inspiration or, at the very least, courage. The following section
explores—as indicated by the title of this paper—how computer science
could be viewed as a humanities discipline, including a historical
perspective on the foundation of both disciplines or disciplinary
fields. The historical dimension, but also the uncertainty, that is
reflected in the conference theme serves as my starting point to present
ten theses in the following section that explain the necessary factors
for success if we wish to succeed with the Digital Humanities. |
