Abstract

Digital humanities is not only a particular approach in research but also a methodology of holistic significance Although the field of literary studies engages the methodology of digital humanities. more critical reflections upon it are needed This article proposes a four-layered interrogation about the methodology of digital humanities so as to enhance such critical reflections.The interrogations are as follows.First, we may find that digital humanities involves such questions as autonomy and legitimation through interrogating the history of intellectual thought. Second, we can find existential experience of disorientation and rational hubris in our age through interrogating the emotion of the time.Third, we can discover the digital objects and digital experience underlying the methodology of digital humanities through ontological interrogation. Finally, we can reveal the transformation from the subject of production to that of research through interrogating subjectivity.
