摘要：À l’heure où les « humanités numériques » gagnent en visibilité dans le paysage de la recherche française et internationale, où des manifestes sont rédigés, des pôles et des chaires créés, des équipes rassemblées, des projets financés, faire ses premiers pas sur un terrain dont la définition même est objet de controverse peut s’avérer délicat.
其他摘要：Although the use of technologies previously seen as innovative in humanities and social sciences research is not a particularly recent phenomenon, the field of the digital humanities as defined in France by Dacos and Mounier (2014) or Bourdeloie (2014) is still under construction. Its origins, outline, methods and potential continue to be the subject of much debate. However, alongside those ongoing debates, projects are emerging in an increasing number of countries and disciplines. Nevertheless, despite some promising initiatives, English studies in France remain at the margins of this movement. There are many reasons but one of them is undeniably due to the difficulty for researchers in the field to perceive the possible contribution of digital technology to existing practices generally based on approaches which have demonstrated their scientific value. This article therefore aims at offering a synthetic overview of the potential input of digital resources and tools to the various stages of the research cycle: state of the art, corpus preparation and constitution, data manipulation, analysis, collaborative work and dissemination. This introduction will be illustrated by examples drawn from the disciplines of English studies in France in order to help researchers in the field approach the sometimes complex and intimidating area of the digital humanities and try to answer their questions on the relevance of integrating some of the elements mentioned here into their own research.
