其他摘要：The Digital Turn in history has
reformulated our documentation
processes, transformed the ways we
archive, treat and access information and
has sometimes anticipated new
epistemological questions together with
new tools created to respond to them.
Yet there is still no systematic
methodology developed to critically
approach these new digital tools, to
analyze the transit of "big data" and
understand the new public capaity to deal
with the past. All this change deeply
affects the relationship between
historians and their public, their
approaches to new digital sources and,
finally, the written recording of history.
This disturbing digital turn questions
professional historians globally and raises
uncertainties as to the future of
traditional historiography and narratives
of the past for diverse publics. The
narratives of (public) digital history
require that professional methods and
codes be rewritten and reinterpretated
and that new practices be mastered. The
digital world has deeply influenced the
presence of the past in our societiesand
favours new public perceptions of the
passage of time in history as well as the
presence of memories. The digital domain
allows for the creation of new
interconexions between the past, our
present, and our future. Thus we might
ask ourselves if, given the public
dissemination of new interactive digital
technologies, we must deeply review the
current relationship with the past, our memory and our history. Methodological
changes in historians' craft are such that
we should dedicate more time to them
and analyze what (public) digital history,
or history in digital media, now means for
academic history and related professions.
