A Digital History of Knowledge

NIAS Seminar

Rens Bod, Professor of Digital Humanities and History of Humanities at the University of Amsterdam and currently at NIAS, will discuss his quest for patterns and principles in the history of knowledge from 1800 - 2000.

A Digital History of Knowledge: The Search for Patterns and Principles from 1800 - 2000

How can the history of science and humanities be integrated within a unified historical framework? What kind of history of knowledge do we get if we decenter both the natural sciences and Europe as object of focus? How can digital tools and techniques be used to write a long term history of knowledge?
