Abstract: This article considers some of the problems associated with the development of the digital humanities in the Western sphere with a focus on text-based scholarship and the English language. It is part of growing initiatives which seek to address concerns about the anglophone dominance within digital humanities and move towards greater inclusivity and diversity. It seeks to ask questions about the causes of the clear lack of engagement with some geographical areas (here considering mainland China) and how we might make positive steps to bring us all together to create a truly global digital humanities to the benefit of us all.

Key words: digital humanities, diversity, communication, collaboration, global

摘要： 本文主要探讨与西方语境中的数字人文相关的一些问题,它聚焦于以文本为基础的数字人文学术和作为学术媒介的英语自身,属于正在更大范围内兴起的数字人文倡议的一部分。这些倡议关注数字人文研究如何由英语语系主导向更多的包容性和多样性发展的大趋势。文章对数字人文研究中某些地域(如中国大陆)的缺席原因提出了疑问,也致力于思考如何采取积极步骤让更多的地域参与进来,从而创造一种真正全球化的数字人文来让所有人获益。
