Towards the post-Digital in the Humanities? NACMM and Platform HARAKAT as case studies

Taking into consideration the complexity that frames the relationship between Globalization and Decolonization this text aims to unveil the potentials (and the burdens) of the Digital Humanities in relation to artist residencies focusing on North Africa as a geographical framework. Through the text I wish to argue that the Digital Humanities should be seen as both an imperative and an exclusionary process by asking the following questions: What is the impact and social projection of the Digital Humanities in relation to the evolution of artists in residencies in the region? What are its methodological innovations, beyond the application of certain technologies? And in what way do they interconnect and hybridize knowledge(s) in an era of widespread prejudice? These questions, framed by a vision that contemplates, reflects and acts in favor of the different realities and responsibilities of the artists in residency model, are the ones through which first NACMM and afterwards Platform HARAKAT have evolved with the aim to promote the encounters of imaginaries and realities that shape the contemporary Mediterranean.
