Timetable & learning outcomes
Throughout the summer school, participants learn in a variety of ways thanks to a programme that combines conferences, IT workshops (dedicated to programming languages and software) and classroom experiments.
Tentative programme
The Bordeaux Summer School will focus on three essential aspects of the digital humanist's activity: data, tools, and methods.
> Data: data analysis requires the ability to identify relevant data, to evaluate their suitability for the work at hand, and to collect them in an appropriate way.
> Tools: the processing of data requires the researcher to know which tools are adapted (softwares or programming languages).
> Methods: how to use tools and data in a proper way? What is possible to achieve and how to achieve it?
Themes as varied (but complementary) as the epistemology of digital humanities, a range of computer programming workshops open to beginners in the field, and the question of data gathering on the Internet will be addressed. We will focus specifically on two main themes: intersection of networks and language and intersection of discourse and truth.

Expertise upon completion
This summer school will provide participants with:
› An overview of the scientific possibilities of digital humanities;
› Knowledge of this particular disciplinary field (definitions, concepts
and methods), and the fundamental concepts of statistics used in this context;
› An understanding of the methodological and epistemological challenges
related to digital humanities, and in particular the legal aspects;
› A practical training session for the use of the TULIP software, an information visualisation framework dedicated to the analysis and visualisation of relational data developed at the 'Bordeaux Computer Science Research Laboratory - LaBRI' of the University of Bordeaux for more than 20 years;
› A first approach of the R and Python computer languages;
› An introduction to the theory of biases in social and human sciences,
as well as to the techniques and methods of empirical legal studies and digital
legal history.
A certificate of participation will be awarded to students upon completion of the course.
