- The chapter starts with a short summary of what we consider to be five central challenges concerning the recent move towards Digital Methods. We then interrogate David Berry’s concept of ‘digital Bildung’ as a means of facing these challenges. Our goal in this discussion is, maybe paradoxically, to move the spotlight from ‘the digital’ and programming, to the plethora of concepts and knowledges mobilized in digital tools. To this end, we discuss three examples that allow us to both concretise and complicate the debate about what kind of skill set is needed by digital scholars.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- While terms like ‘digital humanities’, ‘cultural analytics’, or ‘Web science’ are certainly buzzwords, there are many indicators for a ‘computational turn’ that runs deeper than a simple rise of quantitative or ‘scientific’ modes of analysis. Rich graphical interfaces, advanced visualisation techniques, and ‘fuzzy’ processing have led some of those who have held numbers, calculations, and computers at a safe distance for a long time to warm up to new computational possibilities. But what are we to make of all of this? If these new digital methods are more than just another set of tools in our arsenal, how do we deal with the more fundamental transformations that challenge established epistemological paradigms?
