معرفی
Jean-Guy Meunier is a Professor of Philosophy in Digital Humanities at the University of Quebec in Montreal. He was invited by IDHN to deliver a guest lecture at CY Advanced Studies on April 9, 2019, focusing on the philosophical foundations of digital humanities and the interpretative modeling of meaningful artifacts.
His research lies at the intersection of philosophy, digital technologies, and hermeneutics. He explores how traditional humanistic interpretation can be enriched through computational and formal modeling, especially when analyzing texts, art, media, and rituals. Rather than adopting a purely positivist or empiricist scientific framework, Meunier promotes a pragmatic epistemological perspective where conceptual models are integrated with computational tools to deepen understanding of meaning.
His work emphasizes the essential role of conceptual modeling within the humanities, positioning it not as isolated theorizing but as a vital component in dialogue with computer-based methods. This integrative vision allows for richer, multi-model approaches to studying cultural and symbolic artifacts in the digital age.
No recent publications were provided in the text, but his lecture suggests a strong focus on the theoretical underpinnings of digital humanities, particularly the interplay between human interpretation and machine processing.
