Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the historical development of digital humanities, focusing on the challenges and debates surrounding its definition, as well as terminological and institutional shifts. Particular attention is given to the epistemological changes within the humanities triggered by digital technologies – transformations that raise questions about how knowledge is produced, accessed, and valued. Drawing on key works by Patrick Svensson (2012, 2013), Patrick Svensson and David T. Goldberg (2015), Smiljana Antonijević (2015), and Lorella Viola (2023), the paper highlights the necessity of critically reexamining the role of technology in the humanities, particularly the models of knowledge production in a digital environment. In this context, it examines the methodological and epistemological changes that have shaped institutionalization, the broader framework of interdisciplinarity, and role of digital humanities in contemporary research practices.
