The Question
Is there a non Anglo American Digital Humanities (DH) and if so, what are its characteristics?
—Domenico Fiormonte
Yes!…What are its characteristics?
![Page 5: MapaDH. Exploring Spanish and Portuguese DH Communities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060107/55499de2b4c905fa728b4b39/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Research Questions
Who are we?
Where are we?
How long have we been working
on HD?
What do we do?
What are our work practices?
![Page 6: MapaDH. Exploring Spanish and Portuguese DH Communities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060107/55499de2b4c905fa728b4b39/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Sample & Objective
MapaHD explores the characteristics of 80 Spanish &
Portuguese speaking digital
humanists Distinguishing
particular HD
practices at its own scale

Available mailing lists at the time (GO::DH,

Self Reporting
Who is a Digital Humanist here?--Whoever wanted to be one!
Questionnaire allowed participants to self identify as Digital Humanists
Open and inclusive boundaries of the field, undetermined by us
Participants ‘drew’ their field

Data Collection Challenges
Reach as many participants as possible
Avoid hand picking participants
“…tap into existing networks despite the potential for broader distribution.” (Rockwell, 2012)

Conclusions
Tweaking the scale of analysis shows
literally a different map
Funding and institutional models are doubtlessly playing
a role in the configuration of this community
HD is not just beginning to emerge, but coming
strongly together
