Le 87e numéro de la revue Histoire de l’art est entièrement consacré aux humanités numériques. Cette publication, dont toutes les livraisons sont thématiques, traite depuis sa création en 1988 des pratiques et des limites de cette discipline, en publiant à la fois des études de cas et des textes plus transversaux qui explorent les différentes questions soulevées par le thème retenu. S’il s’agit d’une revue spécialisée, elle présente la particularité d’analyser souvent les rapports que l’histo...

Nowadays, due to economic crisis, the number of "abandoned", empty or dilapidated listed or historic buildings of Greek cities and settlements is constantly increasing. In order to protect and enhance the Greek tangible cultural heritage, it is necessary to promote actions that give motives to owners or users of historic buildings to preserve them, by providing tools and financial support in the particularly increased costs of restoration and consolidation works of their necessary continuous maintenance. The program “Preserve” introduced by the Hellenic Ministry of Environment and Energy, and more specifically the General Secretariat of Spatial Planning & Urban Environment, relates to interventions in designated as listed or monuments or buildings within historic sites and traditional settlements and historic buildings. The interventions will include facade cleaning (with gentle water jet to remove air pollutants or anti-graffiti painting for protection against vandalism), works in order to preserve the shell of the buildings so as to avoid it’s partial or total collapse, restoration of facades and restoration of the interior of the buildings. Along with the activation of the Digital Land Bank, the Building Rights Transfer, the Single Digital Map, and the Digital Building Identity etc., it will offer the owners of the listed buildings a holistic solution for the protection and enhancement of the tangible cultural heritage of Greece.

The ipaast-czo project (Interoperable Precision Agricultural and Archaeological Sensing Technologies - Critical Zone Observation) invited comments on drafts of guidance prepared on a range of remote and near surface sensing data types used in applications across agri-environment and archaeological applications. These documents are intended to improve technical and semantic interoperability of these data types. Each document includes sections which describe the type of data in general terms, make recommendations for minimal metadata and thematic tags (from standard vocabularies), describe common data processing stages, explain the scope of applications of the data, and provide a short bibliography of relevant literature. Guides were updated based on comments received. This archive contains multiple versions of guides which were substantively altered following public consultation.

Being at the crossway of trade routes, Ioannina, in northwestern Greece, has known overtime an economic and spiritual flourishment reflected in the city's urban web, which has, unfortunately, undergone major alterations. Focusing on the city's Post-Byzantine period, starting in 1430, for tracing its pluralistic physiognomy, studying the osmosis of its three cultures, Christian, Jewish and Muslim, and figuring out the related cultural palimpsest, still surviv-ing in the collective memory of the city, has been the great challenge of IASIS Postdoctoral Research Project.1 Extensive documentation of various origin, dynamic and combined interpreta-tion and processing of multiple data, cross-checking of the detected infor-mation, have formed the basic principles of IASIS project development. The specific paper forms the first part of Hagia Paraskevi Christian Byzantine Monastery-Namaz Giyah Muslim Mosque-Perifereia Hellenic State Adminis-trative Building cultural landmarks’ integrated management, i.e., the part on the landmarks’ integrated documentation in the framework of IASIS Postdoctoral Research Project.

This archive contains reports on workshops organised by the Soil Health & Soil Heritage Project. It mirrors content linked from the ipaast-czo project website. This project aimed to build links between groups exploring how soils in farmed landscapes are qualified, studied, modelled, and valued from different perspectives: agricultural, environmental, and archaeological. It focused on data created through remote and near-surface sensing technologies to provide an impetus for cross-disciplinary conversations, because these data have the potential to serve as a shared resource for research and management. The project aimed to identify shared research and management priorities related to soil health and soil heritage in agricultural landscapes, to evaluate the capability of commercial and experimental sensors to provide data to address these shared priorities, and to identify barriers to the creation of interoperable remote and near-surface sensing data resources on soils and their role in agricultural systems. The project was led by a group of researchers at the University of Glasgow, working on initiatives including agri-environment sensing projects in CENSIS, the Global Soil Heath network, and the ipaast-czo project on archaeological remote and near-surface sensing. In 2022, the project reviewed instruments to assess their suitability for cross-domain data collection and ran two workshops, in Dalswinton and Glasgow, to build a research and practice network focused on sensing methods for soils.

The purpose of the article is to explore the possibilities of interaction between cultural studies and digital humanities to understand the vectors of further development of both fields in the context of studying issues actualised by digital culture. The research methodology involves the use of such general scientific methods as analysis and synthesis. The method of analysis is used to determine the features and potential of digital humanities and cultural studies, and the synthesis method is used to establish links between these disciplines within possible variations of cooperation and mutual enrichment. The significance of the work is the identification of common interests and several ways of practical interaction between digital humanities and cultural studies. The scientific novelty of the work is to identify common interests and ways of practical interaction between digital humanities and cultural studies. Conclusions. It is noted that digital humanities is an interdisciplinary field that aims to combine the humanities with new technologies and computational methods. Based on the analysis of tools and activities of digital humanities and conceptual approaches in the field of cultural studies, the following interaction options are identified and analysed: research of social networks, application of the distant reading method using the Voyant Tools programme to determine cultural regularities within one text or between several texts, visual research using the method of cultural analytics by L. Manovich, digitisation of cultural heritage, popularisation of cultural studies through the use of modern multimedia forms of information presentation. Among modern multimedia forms, special attention is paid to the possibilities of audiovisual essays. It is noted that cultural studies can supplement the technical toolkit of digital humanities with an expert assessment of cultural processes caused by new digital technologies.

Мета статті — дослідити можливості взаємодії між культурологією та цифровими гуманітарними науками для розуміння векторів подальшого розвитку обох галузей у контексті вивчення питань, актуалізованих цифровою культурою. Методологія дослідження передбачає використання таких загальнонаукових методів, як аналіз та синтез. Метод аналізу застосовано для визначення специфіки та потенціалу цифрових гуманітарних наук та культурології, а метод синтезу — для встановлення зв’язків між цими дисциплінами у межах можливих варіацій співробітництва та взаємного збагачення. Наукова новизна роботи полягає у визначенні спільних інтересів та способів практичної взаємодії між цифровими гуманітарними науками та культурологією. Висновки. Зазначено, що цифрові гуманітарні науки — це міждисциплінарна галузь, яка націлена на поєднання гуманітарних наук з новими технологіями та обчислювальними методами. На основі аналізу інструментарію та видів діяльності цифрових гуманітарних наук та концептуальних підходів у галузі культурології було визначено й проаналізовано такі варіанти взаємодії: дослідження соціальних мереж, застосування методу дистанційного читання за допомогою програми Voyant Tools для визначення культурних закономірностей усередині одного тексту чи між кількома текстами, візуальні дослідження з використанням методу культурної аналітики Л. Мановича, диджиталізація культурної спадщини, популяризація культурологічних досліджень через застосування сучасних мультимедійних форм представлення інформації. Серед сучасних мультимедійних форм особлива увага приділена можливостям аудіовізуального есе. Зазначено, що культурологія здатна доповнити технічний інструментарій цифрових гуманітарних наук експертною оцінкою культурних процесів, зумовлених новими цифровими технологіями.

Cet essai porte sur la Gaule conquise par César. Son objectif est de mettre l’accent sur l’évolution du pays, depuis La Tène finale (vers 150 av. J.-C.) jusqu’au moment où s’achève son intégration effective dans l’Empire romain (vers 70 apr. J.-C.). L’auteur insiste donc sur les permanences avant d’aborder les étapes de la transition. Une première partie thématique étudie la Gaule sous ses différents aspects : le pays et ses habitants, la ruralité, le phénomène urbain et, enfin, les croyances. Une seconde partie, davantage historique, se concentre sur les étapes de l’intégration dans l’Empire. Cet ensemble est précédé d’un important prologue dont le titre est à lui seul une réponse ferme aux vaines polémiques de ces dernières années : « Que la Gaule n’est pas la France. » Il n’existe pas, à l’heure actuelle, d’approche similaire, cherchant à rompre avec le découpage chronologique classique entre protohistoire et histoire. On a mobilisé pour ce faire les sources archéologiques les plus récentes, issues bien souvent des fouilles préventives, en essayant de les croiser avec l’analyse des documents historiques traditionnels (épigraphie, textes grecs et latins). L’auteur propose sans aucun doute une vision renouvelée de l’histoire de la Gaule.

Après avoir décrit le nouveau partage du pouvoir entre le Sénat et le Prince, Dion Cassius ajoute, pour l’année 27 av. J.-C., qu’« Auguste quitta Rome dans l’intention de mener une expédition militaire en Bretagne. Pourtant, arrivé en Gaule, il s’y attarda. D’un côté les Bretons semblaient disposés à négocier ; d’un autre côté, la situation, chez les Gaulois, n’était pas stabilisée, parce que la conquête s’était déroulée juste avant les guerres civiles romaines. Il procéda donc à un cens (apo...

On pourrait recenser les rares pages que les historiens de la Rome antique ont consacrées aux relations de la République avec la Gaule indépendante, au iie siècle av. n. è. Leur quasi absence reflète en vérité celle des sources textuelles, même pour la période qui concerne la conquête du Midi, pour laquelle nous n’avons que des bribes d’information : c’est en 125 que Tite-Live (Periocha LX) situe l’envoi d’une armée au secours de Marseille contre les Ligures, les Voconces et les Salluviens ; ...
