| Sumario: | The term 'digital humanities' may be understood in three different ways: as 'digitized humanities', by dealing essentially with the constitution, management, and processing of digitized archives; as 'numerical humanities', by putting the emphasis on mathematical abstraction and the development of numerical and formal models; and as 'humanities of the digital', by focusing on the study of computer-mediated interactions and online communities. Discussing their methods and actors, we show how these three potential acceptations cover markedly distinct epistemological endeavors and, eventually, non-overlapping scientific communities.
