El concepto de revolución en la historia digital sobre la Edad Media

Abstract

This paper discuss the concept of revolution in the ground of medieval digital history, which is the new sphere emerged from the interaction between medieval history and the so-called Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Therefore we will have three analytical notions: a) Medieval History; B) Technology; C) Revolution. We will study how the interaction of these three elements create changes in the scientific communities and through new tools provoke a revolution in the way of understanding the profession of historian. In order to conceptualize this revolution, we will be based on the study of the transformation of academic sociability and the new digital tools emerged from the Internet and Social Networks. The result is a digital revolution linked to technology and can be seen in the writing of history and in the exercise of medieval research.
