HU Cunlu HU Heng CHEN Bijia CAMPLELL Cameron Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (1): 34-47.   Abstract （1168）      PDF（pc） （1725KB）（747）       Knowledge map    Save The Qing state established its system for categorizing local government administrative units during the reign of Yongzheng. In this categorization, zhilizhou (independent departments) were made up of counties and sanzhou (departments) were at same level as counties. Although there were fewer zhilizhou and sanzhou than there were counties and prefectures, their classification and the appointment of their officials had distinctive features. With the aid of the newly compiled data on the political divisions of the states in the newly revised History of Qing Dynasty, it can be seen that the quefen of zhilizhou are concentrated in the yaoque and the zhongque, while the zuiyaoque and jianque are less. Relatively moderate position in government-level administrative districts. The ratings (chongfanpinan) of zhou and sanzhou generally followed the same quefen categories as prefectures and counties: most significant, significant, medium, and simple. 15.4 percent of zhilizhou didn’t follow the rules of the system, as did 19.4 percent of the sanzhou. Most of the exceptions was related to the assignment of miaojiangque (quota in the ethnic Miao regions), yanheque (quota along the rivers), of bianque (border quota). 82.1 percent of zhilizhou were tidiaoque, that is with appointments made by the Governors-General. This was a higher share than for prefectures. This is related to the classification of administrative units made at the beginning of the Qing, when the Imperial Court specified all of the zhou magistrates as positions to be appointed by the Governors-General. Later, some of the zhilizhou were reclassified so that their magistrates would be appointed by the Board of Personnel, while the majority remained as tidiaoque. Meanwhile, the proportion of tidiaoque of among sanzhou was 45.1 percent. As a result of this structure for quota assignment, the tidiaoque of sanzhou magistrates became the main channels of promotion for most county magistrates. In this article we track the origins, transitions, and promotions of zhou magistrates based on 37,320 records of zhilizhou and sanzhou magistrates extracted from CGED-Q (the Jinshenlu database). We demonstrate that zhou magistrates were largely promoted from among local officials, mostly county magistrates, rather than being sent from the central government. This is very different from the pattern of prefects. Through this analysis we draw attention to the key role of appointment as zhou magistrates in the career advancement of county level magistrates and the whole system of local officials.

Analysis of the Digital Humanities Culture Analytics Field and Application Prospect of Large Language Models—Interview with Professor Matthew Wilkens Matthew Wilkens Yang Xiaoyan Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (2): 3-14.   Abstract （875）      PDF（pc） （11481KB）（304）       Knowledge map    Save Cultural analytics under the digital humanities is a research field where scholars combine quantitative analysis from mathematics,statistics,and social sciences with complex large-scale social and cultural datasets. The article is an interview with Dr. Matthew Wilkens of Cornell University,an active scholar in this field. It includes an introduction to the current situation of the field,his research experience,prospects,educational ideas,and more. Dr. Wilkens believes that the methods and technologies of digital humanistic culture analysis are transferable,but to avoid the impulse of generalization and generalization,the field still faces two major challenges: one technical and one conceptual.In particular,the idea that literary and historical problems such as cultural evolution cannot be solved by close reading and that the core of some quantitative research is still humanism is still difficult to accept. This difficulty of conceptual change will make digital humanities research within the humanities stagnate. At present,there are signs that the growth of digital humanities will occur in information science and other technical disciplines. At the same time,the rapidly developing large-scale generative models have great application potential in the field of cultural analytics. It will be an important trend for humanists to cooperate with developers of large-scale language models in the future. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Digital Humanities Construction in the Development of Smart Museums: The Practice of Shanghai Museum as an Example Liu Jian Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (3): 39-49.   Abstract （853）      PDF（pc） （8398KB）（2859）       Knowledge map    Save It has been nearly 10 years since the emergence of the concept of smart museums. In the practice of smart museum construction, after collecting a large amount of data, the use of the data appears to be less than satisfactory, and to some extent this can be said to be a bottleneck faced by the construction of smart museums. How to break through this stagnation and start from data collection, management, and mining to form a new model of museum knowledge production and organization services, so that the core functions of smart museums, such as smart management, smart conservation, and smart services, can operate firmly, and in this regard, the emerging digital humanities research in the humanities provides good methods and tools to learn from.  Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Transcend the Generation Gap: A Computational Film Study on Chinese Films from the 1990s Li Yi, Chen Tao Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (1): 79-94.   Abstract （793）      PDF（pc） （18847KB）（149）       Knowledge map    Save The method of computational film studies promises a new approach to studying films with statistics and big data. It aims at analyzing formal characteristics of films systematically and digitally in order to fulfill alternative historical narratives and theoretical potential. In this approach,this paper,from the perspective of computational film studies,explores diachronic changes of the formal characteristics in Chinese films from the 1990s by using the online platform and its software,cinemetrics,which includes cutting rates,average shot length,and shot movements. Based on the visualization of relevant statistics,this paper not only re - examines the discourses on generation gaps among different directors throughout the history of contemporary Chinese films,but also re - maps the stylistic characteristics of different directors. It argues that the average shot length of the Chinese movies has declined since 1990s,which results from the market - oriented reform in Chinese film industry. In other words,the pace of contemporary Chinese films becomes faster and faster. During this period, contradictions and choices between " fast " and " slow " have transcended the classification of different generations,as well as its political preconditions,becoming a fundamental problem that all films and directors must solve. In this case,different solutions to this problem provide us new links and categories beyond traditional film studies,and eventually create two modes of acceleration aesthetics.

Japanese Digital Humanities Lurking Beneath Digital Archive and Data Science—A Country Perspective Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (1): 100-112.   Abstract （753）      PDF（pc） （15592KB）（281）       Knowledge map    Save Different from the boom in Europe,the United States and China,Japanese Digital Humanities research has been developing in a bottom - up pattern, showing a practice - oriented, internally directed development. Based on interviews with seven Japanese scholars from different humanities and social disciplines, the development of DH in Japan and the issues it encompasses are sorted out from three aspects: experiences and problems in the process of Digital Archive construction, the current state of acceptance of DH in Japan, and the future development of DH driven by Data Science, which are full of thought - provoking reflections. From a comparative perspective, three reflections are offered on the common problems in the development of DH across countries: the appropriateness of evaluating existing research results by "DH” ,the possibility of sustaining the development of DH by combining policy orientation and academic consciousness, and the importance of cultivating and implementing " Digital Thinking" for the promotion of both international and local DH in the region.

Virtual Museums as An Extended Museum Experience:Challenges and Impacts for Museology,Digital Humanities,Museums and Visitors —in Times of (Coronavirus) Crisis Bernadette Biedermann Trans. Gao Yan Digital Humanities Research    2023, 3 (2): 15-30.   Abstract （706）      PDF（pc） （12541KB）（226）       Knowledge map    Save Since there has been a recent trend to establishing virtual museums,which various institutions have swiftly responded to,the objective of this paper is to understand the nature of virtual and / or digital museums by focusing on their particular characteristics. In this approach,the paper proceeds from the assumption that museum representations in the virtual space and / or virtual museums could extend conventional or physical museum space,leading to enhanced visitor attraction and experience. The paper thus focuses on the virtual museum as an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary object of investigation from the perspective of museology and digital humanities and seeks to ascertain whether scholarly and practical impacts are achieved. It also analyses the expected impacts on practical museum work and visitor needs,especially with respect to the tasks museums are required to fulfil in times of crisis.

What Does A Photograph Sound Like? Digital Image Sonification As Synesthetic AudioVisual Digital Humanities Michael J. Kramer Trans. Zhu Zitong Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (4): 63-73.   Abstract （703）      PDF（pc） （7258KB）（160）       Knowledge map    Save Computers have the capacity to transpose the pixels,shapes,and other features of visualmaterial into sound. This act of data correlation between the visual and the audial produces anew artifact,a sonic composition created from the visual source. The new artifact,however,correlates precisely to data in the original,thus allowing for fresh ways of perceiving its form,content,and context. Seeming to distort the visual object into an aural one paradoxically allowsan observer to observe the visual evidence anew,with more accuracy. A kind of generative,synesthetic criticism becomes possible by cutting across typical boundaries between the visualand the audio,the optic and the aural. Listening to as well as looking at visual artifacts by wayof digital transpositions of data enables better close readings,more compelling interpretations, and deeper contextual understandings. Building on my earlier scholarship into image glitching,remixing,and sonification,this essay investigates a photograph of Joan Baez performing at theGreek Amphitheater in Berkeley,California,during the early 1960s. The image comes from myproject on the Berkeley Folk Music Festival and the history of the folk music revival on the WestCoast of the United States. Here,the use of digital image sonification becomes particularlyintriguing. While we cannot magically recover the music being made in the photograph,we can more closely attend to the ghosts of sound within the silent snapshot. Digital image sonification does not recover the music itself, but it does help to amplify issues of gender, power, embodiment, spectacle, performance, hierarchy, and performance in my perceptions of Baezmaking music in the photograph. Using the ear as well as the eye to scan the image for itsmultiple levels of meaning leads to unsuspected perceptions,which then support morerevealing analysis. In digital image sonification,a cyborgian dance of data,signal,image,sound,history,and human perception emerges,activating visual materials for renewed scrutiny. In doing so,this mode of AudioVisual DH activates the scholarly imagination in promising newways. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

On Digital Humanities: from a Philosophical -- Cultural Point of view Cheng Chung - sing Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (2): 3-6.   Abstract （696）      PDF（pc） （1177KB）（403）       Knowledge map    Save To digitalize humanities (human sciences)       has profound philosophical and cultural significances. It is a matter of transforming our subjectivities and intrinsic values based on our best feelings and mental thinking on life and reality into manageable form of objectivity. The question is how to do it? I propose in this paper to consider identifying unit of linguistic meanings in our Classical Texts and use relevant words and sentences to organize different forms of discourses from various schools of philosophy and recognize the dominant and outstanding arguments and positions for explaining relevant historical events and trends as well      philosophical points. It serves the purpose of understanding history in a better way, and at the meantime constructing and I forecasting visions of human future under present and other presupposed conditions of human behavior. Digital humanities therefore can be used to promote Chinese humanities including Chinese philosophy and Chinese culture for a worthwhile world-vision of peace and prosperity of mankind.

HSIANG Jieh HU CHijui Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (1): 48-64.   Abstract （694）      PDF（pc） （2412KB）（620）       Knowledge map    Save [Background/ Meaning] Historical text is the basic material of historical research. By crawling the content of the text, historians organize, piece together and contextualize meaningful information in the text. History is a discipline that studies the trajectory of human activities in time. After adding the concept to geographic space, historical texts will become more three-dimensional. Instead of linear reading in paper data in the past, historical texts in the information age can add a lot of vocabulary tags with the assistance of technology, and then use the analysis and visualization of tagged vocabulary to take a bird’s eye view and grasp the implicit context in historical texts. [Process/ Method] By discussing the meaning of person, time, place name and object vocabulary marks in historical texts for historical research, describing the purpose and characteristics of various marks, especially pointing out that vocabulary marks not only identify words, but also need to achieve “disambiguation” With the “aggregation”function. At the same time introduce two automatic tagging tools, “Code Library Semi -automatic Marking Platform for Ancient Books”（MARKUS) and“Batch Tagging Tool”（Content Tagging Tool, CT) .These two tools make it possible to quickly mark  a large number of people, times, places, and things.[Results/Conclusions] Illustrate how to use marked texts through actual research results; use time, person, geography, and object vocabulary to mark actual benefits to illustrate the use of vocabulary marking and application in historical texts and historical research. Finally, we discuss the issue of event markers, and point out that event markers are essentially different from other lexical markers. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

A Review of the Digitization Achievements of Chinese Antique Maps at Home and Abroad Tian Qing, Li Xingui Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (3): 63-82.   Abstract （692）      PDF（pc） （5453KB）（538）       Knowledge map    Save Since the end of the 20th century, with the gradual rise of antique map digitization abroad, the introduction and discussion of antique map digitization technology in China has gradually matured. The needs of researchers and users for the sorting, research, storage and utilization of antique Chinese maps have promoted the digitization of antique maps to varying degrees. At present, there are abundant relevant achievements at home and abroad, and sorting them has become a basic work of Chinese antique map research. After sorting out and comparing these results through literature information retrieval and network information collection, it is found that although the existing digital results at home and abroad have their own characteristics, they still have major deficiencies in supporting humanities research. Using related research results to optimize the classification and attach importance to the digitization of related texts and documents should be the direction of improvement for the digitization of antique Chinese maps.

The Political Network Analysis of Shuhan Based on Three Kingdoms Annals Sheng Yihan Huo Chaoguang Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (3): 61-74.   Abstract （691）      PDF（pc） （33466KB）（163）       Knowledge map    Save Although the rise and fall is a political phenomenon,it is actually caused by various objective political forces behind it. In order to gain insight into the complicated relations of the Shuhan regime,this paper quantifies the relations of Shuhan political figures through text mining methods and analyzes the structure of Shuhan political network from four aspects:overall characteristics of Shuhan political network,core political figures,internal historical changes, and external co-temporal comparison with other countries,based on the Three Kingdoms Annals. The study shows that the power division and political structure changes of the Shuhan regime were related to the place of origin;compared with Wei and Wu,the Shuhan regime had more centralized power and smoother power transition. With objective facts, this study responds to the debate on the transmutation of the political structure of the Shuhan Dynasty from a global historical perspective,proposes new research entry points and also provides a reference for making full use of digital technology for historical research.

Normativity Tendency, Cultural Differences, and Critical Creativity of Digital Humanities  —An Interview with Professor Johanna Drucker #br# Johanna Drucker Sun Jiarui Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (3): 11-17.   Abstract （689）      PDF（pc） （955KB）（436）       Knowledge map    Save With the vigorous development of digital humanities, it is of great significance for this field to critically examine and reflect on the achievements and limitations of its development. Through an interview with Professor Johanna Drucker, this paper examines and reflects on the development of digital humanities from the perspectives of digital humanities education, digital humanities and academia, and digital humanities research, focusing on issues such as education programs, curriculums, interdisciplinary collaborations, academic evaluation, sustainability and transparency, and research methods. There is a tendency towards normativity in the digital humanities work. “Normative digital gumanities” confines us to the shackles of conventional wisdom, stifles the possibilities of innovation, and even leads to the stagnation of the development of digital humanities. Respecting cultural differences, building integrated and sustainable digital infrastructures, and cultivating students’ critical thinking and creativity should be three primary goals for the future development of digital humanities.

Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (4): 61-76.   Abstract （681）      PDF（pc） （23912KB）（138）       Knowledge map    Save In recent years, the digitization of genealogy provides a new way for the collation and integration of traditional Chinese genealogical resources, and also puts forward the requirements for the visualization of genealogy. The existing visualization forms of western genealogy and the metagraph visualization of Chinese genealogy are not quite suitable for the visualization of traditional Chinese genealogy. Based on the characteristics of traditional Chinese genealogy and the existing visualization forms of digital genealogy, this paper proposes two visualization forms, namely, improved genealogy tree and genealogy force-directed graph, with a discussion on their advantages, disadvantages and applicability. The two visualization forms are combined through user interaction. A prototype has been designed for the visualization of traditional Chinese genealogy in the forms of improved genealogy tree and genealogy force-directed graph, and an example based on the Wu genealogy of Taizhou, Zhejiang Province is provided for illustration.

Explanation in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Social Sciences Tim Miller, Zhang Jing Digital Humanities Research    2024, 4 (2): 90-128.   Abstract （660）      PDF（pc） （2268KB）（2121）       Knowledge map    Save There has been a recent resurgence in the area of explainable artificial intelligence as researchers and practitioners seek to provide more transparency to their algorithms. Much of this research is focused on explicitly explaining decisions or actions to a human observer, and it should not be controversial to say that looking at how humans explain to each other can serve as a useful starting point for explanation in artificial intelligence. However, it is fair to say that most work in explainable artificial intelligence uses only the researchers’ intuition of what constitutes a ‘good’ explanation. There exist vast and valuable bodies of research in philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science of how people define, generate, select, evaluate, and present explanations, which argues that people employ certain cognitive biases and social expectations to the explanation process. This paper argues that the field of explainable artificial intelligence can build on this existing research, and reviews relevant papers from philosophy, cognitive psychology/science, and social psychology, which study these topics. lt draws out some important findings, and discusses ways that these can be in-fused with work on explainable artificial intelligence.

Digital Humanities and Digital Social Reading Simone Rebora, Peter Boot, Federico Pianzola, Brigitte Gasser, J.Berenike Herrmann, Maria Kraxenberger, Moniek M.Kuijpers, Gerhard Lauer, Piroska, Lendvai, Thomas C.Messerli, Pasqualina Sorrentino, Trans.WangLirui Digital Humanities Research    2022, 2 (1): 52-67.   Abstract （652）      PDF（pc） （15623KB）（166）       Knowledge map    Save Prominent among the social developments that the web 2.0 has facilitated is digital social reading (DSR):on many platforms there are functionalities for creating bookreviews,'inline'commenting on book texts, online story writing(often in the formof fanfiction),informal book discussions,book vlogs,and more. In this article,weargue that DSR offers unique possibilities for research into literature,reading,theimpact of reading and literary communica- tion.We also claim that in this context computational tools are especially relevant, making DSR a field particularly suit- ablefor the application of Digital Humanities methods. We draw up an initial categorization of research aspects of DSR and briefly examine literature for each category. We distinguish between studies on DSR that use it as a lens to study wider processesof literary exchange as opposed to studies for which the DSR culture is a phenomenon interesting in its own right.Via seven examples of DSR research,we discuss the chosen approaches and their connection to research questions in literarystudies.

The Scale of Time: Rereading and Rethinking A Companion to Digital Humanities Yu Min, Feng Huiling, Xu Bishan Digital Humanities Research    2024, 4 (4): 32-46.   Abstract （645）      PDF（pc） （2106KB）（327）       Knowledge map    Save Twenty years ago, A Companion to Digital Humanities (2004) brought together a group of young scholars to discuss, review, and examine the still-young history of Digital Humanities, creating a landmark work in the field’s development. Confronting the chaotic fog of the emerging discipline at the time, the book, with over 600 pages, presented interdisciplinary theories and practical activities, including new processes of academic production, dissemination and curatorship, offering valuable theoretical support and practical experience for both beginners and researchers in Digital Humanities. This article re-examines the key ideas in A Companion to Digital Humanities, linking them longitudinally to A New Companion to Digital Humanities (2016), and finds both continuity and extension in Western digital humanities over the past decade, particularly in areas such as Databases, Modeling, and Robot Poetics. It then compares these developments with The China Digital Humanities Development Report (Volume 1), revealing differences between Chinese and Western digital humanities in their discussions on digital scholarship, visualization, and cultural heritage. Furthermore, the article highlights that Chinese Digital Humanities research still neglects issues of interface design and aesthetics. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

A Digital Humanities Research Model for Chinese Export Paintings: A Case Study of the Victoria and Albert Museum Collection Gao Jin, Zhang Yangming, Wang Linminqing, Liu Jiawei Digital Humanities Research    2024, 4 (2): 42-63.   Abstract （641）      PDF（pc） （17839KB）（74）       Knowledge map    Save Chinese export paintings, made by Chinese artists between the 18th and 19th centuries, were specially for export to Europe and North America.These works blend Chinese and European painting techniques and include Chinese traditional customs, occupations, manufacturing and trade, ships, flora, and fauna of late Qing Dynasty, which formed a unique artistic style. This paper introduces a collaborative research project between University College London(UCL) and the Victoria and Albert Museum(V&A), which proposes a new digital humanities research model to study Chinese export art. Firstly, the research quantitatively identifies similar painting themes and group them into different artists/workshops. Secondly, it employs deep learning methods to classify 2350 export painting images by theme. Finally, the study conducts iconographic annotation and in-depth analysis to uncover the thematic distribution and evolution of Chinese export paintings created by Chinese artists from the 18th to 19th centuries. The findings reveal significant thematic differences in V&A's collection of export paintings before and after 1840, which provide data support for research on Chinese export paintings and global art history. Additionally, the study contributes a new digital humanities research model for future research on export art. These findings deepen the understanding of Chinese export painting themes and explore new research methodology for analysing the unique process of Sino-Western cultural integration.

The Application Attempt of Object Detection in Digital Humanities Images Chen Tao Digital Humanities Research    2021, 1 (3): 39-50.   Abstract （635）      PDF（pc） （44499KB）（148）       Knowledge map    Save Image has become a new hot spot in digital humanities research, and image annotation is the main way of image knowledge transfer and value reveal. Object detection, as a computer technology related to computer vision and image processing, can quickly realize the location and classification of target objects in images in batches. The paper first introduces the relevant principles of object detection, and proposes a complete image application ecological process which combines the Visual Object Tagging Tool (VoTT) and the Multi-Dimensional Image Smart System (MISS). At the same time, an image multi-layer annotation model framework is proposed which contains four dimensions: image layer, object layer (content and label), and semantic layer. The selection of the annotation area and the label of the object layer will use the results of automatic labeling with VoTT. In the end, the paper exemplifies the proposed framework and technologies through cases, in order to provide more application perspectives for the research of digital humanistic images.
