Abstract

Objective: The objective of this article is to verify, together with researchers, the problems and actions related to digital humanities, namely: how can the use of digital humanities contribute to the emancipation of subjects?
Methodology: To answer this question, we used a qualitative approach through open interviews. We used convenience sampling, in which the researcher selected experts and members of the population most accessible at the time and who are invited to the interview to discuss and answer the question script. The qualitative software MAXQDA2020 was used for the coding and analysis of the interviews.
Results: Based on dialogues with specialists, it was considered that the digital humanities, seen from the perspective of emancipation, have promising perspectives for individuals and effective contributions to society. According to qualitative analyses, digital humanities, together with the acquired skills, can help to identify fake news, which makes it possible to give subsidies to individuals to make good use of technologies and cyberspace in an empowered way.
Conclusions: However, to meet these challenges, it is necessary to create policies that encompass the entire digital humanities project, investment in technologies and, above all, in the training of individuals with the necessary skills to use networks and technologies in a critical perspective, integrative and humanistic.
