<p>Digital technologies have profoundly changed our research practices, our editing and publication practices, and how we exchange information.

<p>Les technologies num&#233;riques ont profond&#233;ment modifi&#233; nos pratiques de recherche, d&#8217;&#233;dition, de publication et d&#8217;&#233;changes d&#8217;informations. Les supports ont certes chang&#233;, mais les bouleversements ont aussi touch&#233; les modalit&#233;s et le sens de l&#8217;&#233;criture, les concepts d&#8217;auteur et de lecteur, les modalit&#233;s d&#8217;acc&#232;s, les supports et les modes de diffusion de textes, d&#8217;images, de sons, etc. Si la litt&#233;rature a toujours jou&#233; un r&#244;le capital dans la formation des cat&#233;gories culturelles, elle s&#8217;approprie de mani&#232;re peut-&#234;tre encore plus marqu&#233;e aujourd&#8217;hui, une place fondamentale, puisque le contexte actuel est largement associ&#233; &#224; une pr&#233;dominance de la forme textuelle. L&#8217;explosion des donn&#233;es et la transformation des savoirs, tant au plan de la quantit&#233; d&#8217;information disponible que de la mani&#232;re de la repr&#233;senter, a en outre un impact consid&#233;rable sur la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales.</p>
<p>C&#8217;est donc dire que le num&#233;rique a envahi toutes les sph&#232;res de production et de diffusion des connaissances, tout comme il a, de mani&#232;re plus g&#233;n&#233;rale, investi les structures de la soci&#233;t&#233; contemporaine. Toutefois, m&#234;me si les disciplines du savoir ont &#233;volu&#233;, au cours des trente derni&#232;res ann&#233;es, d&#8217;une mani&#232;re tr&#232;s li&#233;e aux usages des documents et des cultures num&#233;riques, la plupart des projets de bases de donn&#233;es, de plateformes de publication ou d&#8217;outils de recherche et d&#8217;analyse en sciences humaines et sociales demeurent isol&#233;s les uns des autres. Ce dossier sp&#233;cial, qui rassemble des textes d&#233;coulant de communications pr&#233;sent&#233;es lors du colloque Humanit&#233;s num&#233;riques 2015 &#224; l&#8217;Universit&#233; Concordia, propose un aper&#231;u des tendances th&#233;oriques et pratiques observ&#233;es actuellement dans le domaine des humanit&#233;s num&#233;riques en fran&#231;ais, plus pr&#233;cis&#233;ment dans la sph&#232;re de production et de diffusion du savoir dans les sciences humaines et sociales.</p>
<p>Si certains articles abordent des questions th&#233;oriques rattach&#233;es &#224; l&#8217;impl&#233;mentation de nouveaux outils de recherche, d&#8217;&#233;dition, de diffusion, d&#8217;encodage, de forage, de curation ou encore de visualisation et de repr&#233;sentations de donn&#233;es, d&#8217;autres portent sur des projets ponctuels d&#8217;&#233;dition &#233;lectronique, de p&#233;dagogie num&#233;rique, d&#8217;expositions en ligne ou de cr&#233;ation de modules de visualisation sp&#233;cifiques &#224; la repr&#233;sentation num&#233;rique d&#8217;objets singuliers.</p>
<p>Par la constitution de ce dossier sp&#233;cial, nous esp&#233;rons &#233;videmment cr&#233;er des ponts entre les diff&#233;rents projets et faire conna&#238;tre les initiatives ponctuelles de recherche en humanit&#233;s num&#233;riques dans la recherche francophone. Ce dossier s&#8217;inscrit en compl&#233;mentarit&#233; avec un num&#233;ro sp&#233;cial de la revue <italic>Digital Humanities Quarterly</italic> enti&#232;rement consacr&#233; &#224; des articles sur les humanit&#233;s num&#233;riques en fran&#231;ais, qui a paru au printemps 2018.</p>
<p>Digital technologies have profoundly changed our research practices, our editing and publication practices, and how we exchange information. The means have certainly changed, but these striking changes have also influenced the methods and meaning of writing, the concepts of writer and reader, and the methods of access, the tools and methods of distributing texts, images, sounds, etc. Literature has played a major role in the development of cultural domains; it still holds a prominent place, perhaps even more so today, as our current context is greatly associated to the predominance of the textual form. The explosion of data and the transformation of knowledge, both in terms of the quality of available information and the manner of representing it, have furthermore had a considerable impact on human and social sciences research.</p>
<p>That is to say, then, that these digital innovations have invaded all spheres of production and distribution of knowledge, just as much as they have been integrated into contemporary society. However, even if academic disciplines have evolved, in a way that has been very related to the usage of documents and of digital culture, over the last thirty years, the majority of database projects, publication platform projects, research tool projects and analysis projects in the human and social sciences remain isolated from one another. This special issue, which brings texts together from presentations made at the 2015 Digital Humanities colloquium at Concordia University, offers an overview of current trends in theory and practice observed in the digital humanities domain in French, more specifically in the sphere of production and distribution of knowledge in the human and social sciences.</p>
<p>Certain articles take on theoretical questions linked to the implementation of new tools for research, publication, distribution, encoding, data mining, conservation, and also for the visualisation and representation of data. However, other articles handle intermittent projects for electronic publication, digital pedagogy, online exhibitions and the creation of visualisation modules made for the digital representation of peculiar objects.</p>
<p>By creating this special issue, we hope to build bridges amongst different projects and to publicise the intermittent research initiatives in digital humanities in francophone research. This issue is being published to complement the Digital Humanities Quarterly special issue that appeared in Spring 2018 and was entirely devoted to articles about digital humanities in French.</p>
