PROBLEMS OF DIGITALIZATION IN THE HUMANITIES

Abstract

The pace of development of sciences today exceeds all expectations. Digitalization is becoming a noticeable trend, which takes over education, everyday life, other fields of science and life, and keeps modern society in constant tension because sometimes it develops unpredictably. The meaning of digitalization is that the levels of high-tech products and services are increasing. Humanities have become one of such spaces that are undergoing digitalization. It is no secret that many aspects of the humanities are undergoing digitalization – this concerns digital media of texts, a collection of library collections. Digital resources and tools are rapidly mastering the space of the humanities and forcing them to keep up with the times. That is why the humanities of digital sciences is a space of knowledge that is structurally located at the intersection of computer technology with humanities disciplines. Such a combination of fields of knowledge leads to the fact that there is a constant use of digital products in the field of humanities, an analysis of those areas that can combine digital components is carried out. Digital Humanities are becoming a pillar of the sciences in the sense that those areas of humanitarian knowledge that are being born as a new source of knowledge are being discovered on an ongoing basis [1, с.48]. The position of interdisciplinary research is being strengthened. Digitalization, by definition, is a source of knowledge, its production and dissemination.
