Summary: | Abstract This study aimed to investigate Digital Humanities projects that may be aligned with the 17 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals. The study is characterized as an exploratory and descriptive research, and as for its investigative procedures, it is a documentary research, which analyzed 40 Digital Humanities projects. We have found that approximately 51% of the analyzed projects carry out actions and services that contemplate SDG 11, especially target 11.4 aiming to strengthen, protect and safeguard cultural heritage. Digital Humanities projects are the practice of combining emerging digital and computational tools with humanistic studies, and they can be aligned with all SDGs in an interconnected and interrelated way.
Resumo O estudo visa investigar projetos de Humanidades Digitais que possam ser alinhados com os 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável da Agenda 2030. O estudo caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, e quanto aos seus procedimentos investigativos, é uma pesquisa documental, que analisou 40 projetos de Humanidades Digitais. Constatou-se que aproximadamente 51% dos projetos analisados realizam ações e serviços que abordam o ODS 11, especialmente a meta 11.4, que busca fortalecer, proteger e salvaguardar o patrimônio cultural. Entretanto, pode-se ver que projetos de Humanidades Digitais são práticas que combinam ferramentas digitais e computacionais emergentes com estudos humanísticos, podendo ser alinhados com todos os ODS de forma interligada e inter-relacionada. |
