Digital technologies have profoundly changed our research practices, our editing and publication practices, and how we exchange information. The means have certainly changed, but these striking changes have also influenced the methods and meaning of writing, the concepts of writer and reader, and the methods of access, the tools and methods of distributing texts, images, sounds, etc. Literature has played a major role in the development of cultural domains; it still holds a prominent place, perhaps even more so today, as our current context is greatly associated to the predominance of the textual form. The explosion of data and the transformation of knowledge, both in terms of the quality of available information and the manner of representing it, have furthermore had a considerable impact on human and social sciences research. This special issue, which brings texts together from presentations made at the 2015 Digital Humanities colloquium at Concordia University, offers an overview of current trends in theory and practice observed in the digital humanities domain in French, more specifically in the sphere of production and distribution of knowledge in the human and social sciences. Resume Les technologies numeriques ont profondement modifie nos pratiques de recherche, d’edition, de publication et d’echanges d’informations. Les supports ont certes change, mais les bouleversements ont aussi touche les modalites et le sens de l’ecriture, les concepts d’auteur et de lecteur, les modalites d’acces, les supports et les modes de diffusion de textes, d’images, de sons, etc. Si la litterature a toujours joue un role capital dans la formation des categories culturelles, elle s’approprie de maniere peut-etre encore plus marquee aujourd’hui, une place fondamentale, puisque le contexte actuel est largement associe a une predominance de la forme textuelle. L’explosion des donnees et la transformation des savoirs, tant au plan de la quantite d’information disponible que de la maniere de la representer, a en outre un impact considerable sur la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales. Ce dossier special, qui rassemble des textes decoulant de communications presentees lors du colloque Humanites numeriques 2015 a l’Universite Concordia, propose un apercu des tendances theoriques et pratiques observees actuellement dans le domaine des humanites numeriques en francais, plus precisement dans la sphere de production et de diffusion du savoir dans les sciences humaines et sociales.
