Birgit Schneider, Beate Löffler, Tino Mager, Carola Hein, eds. 
Mixing Methods: Practical Insights from the Humanities 
in the Digital Age (Bielefeld, 2023)

From the introduction:

If digitized cultural objects enable new research approaches, the question arises as to what benefit is actually produced when these objects are available in digital form. The additional value lies not only in the accessibility of data, but also in the questions that the digitized material allows us to ask, or which old questions can be answered in new ways on the basis of the digitized material. This means, dig- ital cultural materials analysed by digital methods change the epistemological ap- proaches of the humanities by opening up to research cultures formerly not used in the humanities. Not only are scientific methods relevant to the humanities, but the humanities themselves and their way to address the world are also relevant to science.

Over the years Raúl Rojas has shared his rich Zuse-scholarship with us,
through this book it is now available in one coherent volume.
