Abstract

The impacts of digital technologies on daily life has also been reflected in academic studies and new research methods have emerged in this area. The emergence of digital humanities, which has gained momentum in terms of awareness in recent years and put digital technology at the center of academic research, should be evaluated in this context. In the early stages of a process that stretched from 1949 to the present, the distant stance of traditional humanities towards computeraided research lost its validity over time. Digital humanities has a place in Western universities as an academic discipline. Indeed, there has been growing awareness of this academic area in Turkey and Turkish studies beyond individual studies. Covering a wide range of geography and a period of six hundred years, Ottoman archives as a significance part of Turkish studies have a high potential for digital humanities in terms of subject variety, density, and method. At this point, the re-discovery of the huge archive heritage thanks to technological possibilities will bring Ottoman history and Turkish studies to an accessible and sustainable universal research environment by harmonizing it with the conditions of the digital age. The article examines first the development of digital humanities and digital history in a glocal scale and also presents and evaluates examples from research projects conducted in this area by focusing on Turkish studies

Özet

Dijital teknolojilerin gündelik yaşamdaki etkisi şüphesiz akademik çalışmalara da yansımış ve yeni araştırma yöntemleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Son yıllarda farkındalık açısından ivme kazanan ve dijital teknolojiyi akademik araştırmanın odağına alan dijital beşerî bilimlerin doğuşu bu kapsamda değerlendirilmelidir. 1949 yılından günümüze kadar uzayan bir sürecin ilk dönemlerinde geleneksel beşerî bilimlerin, bilgisayar destekli araştırmaya karşı mesafeli duruşu zaman içerisinde geçerliliğini kaybetmiş, dijital beşerî bilimler akademik bir bilim dalı olarak Batı’daki üniversitelerde yer almıştır. Nitekim Türkiye’de ve geniş anlamda Türkiye araştırmalarında bu alana karşı farkındalık, bireysel akademik çalışmaların ötesine geçmeye başlamıştır. Türkiye araştırmalarının önemli bir parçası olan ve geniş bir coğrafyayı ve altı yüz yıllık bir dönemi kapsayan Osmanlı arşivleri konu çeşitliliği, miktar ve yöntem açısından dijital beşerî bilimler için yüksek potansiyele sahiptir. Bu noktada devasa arşiv mirasının teknolojik imkânlar sayesinde adeta yeniden keşfi, Osmanlı tarihçiliğini ve Türkiye Araştırmalarını yaşadığımız dijital çağın şartlarıyla uyumlu hale getirerek erişilebilir ve sürdürülebilir evrensel bir araştırma ortamına taşıyacaktır. Bu makalede öncelikle dijital beşerî bilimler ve dijital tarihin dünyadaki gelişimi ortaya konulacak ve sonrasında bu alanda yapılan araştırmalardan örnekler, Türkiye araştırmaları ile ilgili olanlarına ağırlık verilerek değerlendirilecektir.
