In the lecture, fields of literature, music, criticism and religions are focused as a target, and new horizon of humanities are presented by utilizing digital humanities.
Student learning outcomes
The one goal is to study how to analyze humanities fields by various digital techniques. The other is to consider about humanities iteself and to think about possibilities of scientific methodologies, and future visions of scolarships.

Competencies that will be developed
| Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Because Digital Humanities are new scholarship, there is no traditional clear methodologies. Therefore in the lecture, based on examples of analysis, it is examined what type of methodologies and approaches are effective for what types of data and goals. Assessment will be based on brief reports or assignments given at the end of each day.
