This article presents a study of the French-speaking digital humanities. It is based on the experience of two research engineers from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) who have been studying these issues for the last ten years. They conducted a survey at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS-Paris) which enabled them to draw up an overview of the transformation of the profession of humanities and social sciences research engineers in the context of the digital humanities. The Digit_Hum initiative, which they run in parallel with their respective activities at the ENS, also provided information for this overview thanks to its role as a space for discussion about the digital humanities along with training and structuring of this field at the ENS and the Université Paris Sciences & Lettres (PSL). Cet article est une réflexion sur les humanités numériques en contexte francophone. Elle s’appuie sur l'expérience de deux ingénieures du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique travaillant sur ces questions depuis une dizaine d'années. À travers l'enquête qu'elles ont menée à l'École normale supérieure (ENS-Paris), elles dressent un panorama de la transformation du métier d'ingénieur(e) en sciences humaines et sociales dans le contexte des humanités numériques. L'initiative Digit_Hum, qu'elles animent en parallèle de leurs activités respectives à l'École, nourrit également ce témoignage en constituant un espace de discussions, de formations et de structuration des humanités numériques au sein de l'ENS et de l’Université Paris Sciences & Lettres.

[full article and abstract in French; abstract in English and Lithuanian] L’objectif de cette étude est d’ausculter la relation aussi bien de tension que de séduction que tisse le narrateur contemporain avec la figure paternelle absente, exclue ou perdue. À travers La Place (Gallimard 1983) d’Annie Ernaux et Vies minuscules (Gallimard 1984) de Pierre Michon, nous tenterons de mettre l’accent sur ces liens intrafamiliaux en montrant en quoi la littérature d’aujourd’hui souhaiterait déplacer ses investigations sur des terrains qui relèvent a priori du domaine des sciences humaines et sociales. Les deux textes de notre corpus sont amplement représentatifs de l’avènement de cette littérature émergente dans les années 80 témoignant ainsi, chacun à sa manière, d’une volonté de renouer avec une vieille tradition littéraire (allant d’Homère à Rouaud en passant par Sartre et Camus) qui s’intéressait de près aux rapports narrateur/père. La nouveauté de ces livres tient cependant au fait qu’ils sont des symptômes distinctifs de notre époque. Ils permettent surtout d’exprimer un certain sentiment de malaise (identitaire et/ou langagier) dont souffre l’écrivain postmoderne. Summary The object of this study is to ausculate the relation of tension and seduction that weaves the contemporary narrator with the paternal figure absent, excluded or lost. Through La Place (Gallimard, 1983) of Annie Ernaux and Vies minuscules (Gallimard, 1984) of Pierre Michon, we will try to emphasize intra-family links by showing how today’s literature wishes to move his investigations with human and social sciences subject’s. The two texts of our corpus are amply representative of the advent of this emerging literature, thus demonstrating, each in his own way, a desire to renounce an old literary tradition (from Homer to Rouaud via Sartre and Camus) who is interested in narrative / father relations. The novelty of these books is that they are distinctive symptoms of our time. Above all, they enable us to express a sense of discomfort of the postmodern writer.

La sensación de dispersión de los trabajos de ciencias humanas y sociales que experimentamos hoy día es, por parte, el producto de la extrema división social del trabajo científico en disciplinas separadas (con unas ciencias de lo “psíquico”, ciencias del “lenguaje”, de la “sociedad”, de la “economía”, de lo “político”, etc.) y en sectores especializados dentro de cada disciplina (sociología de la educación, de la familia, de la cultura, del trabajo, del deporte, etc.).For a dispositional and contextualist sociologySummaryThe sensation of dispersion of the works of human and social sciences that we experience today is, mainly, the product of the extreme social division of scientific work in separate disciplines (with some "psychic" sciences, "language" sciences, “society”, “economics”, “political” languages, and so forth.)  and in specialized sectors within each discipline (sociology of education, family, culture, work, sports, etc.).Pour une sociologie dispositionaliste et contextualisteRésuméLa sensation de dispersion des travaux des sciences humaines et sociales que nous expérimentons actuellement c’est, d’une part, le produit de l’extrême division sociale du travail scientifique en disciplines séparées (avec des sciences du « psychique », sciences du « langage », de la « société », de l’économie, du « politique », etc.) et en secteurs spécialisés dans chaque discipline (sociologie de l’éducation, de la famille, de la culture, du travail, du sport, etc.)

After first surveying the development of academic studies of Islam within the modern Turkish higher education system, this essay provides an inventory of material that has been translated from Western languages into Turkish. It is inevitable that orientalist studies will have a place of tremendous importance in this analysis. However, approaches to the Qur'an and its exegesis which have been developed under the influence of the Western scientific and cultural world encompass a larger range of literature that includes not only the orientalist studies themselves but also the criticisms directed against these studies. Particular attention is paid to the work of Fazlur Rahman and Arab scholars influenced by Western methods, and an assessment of the various issues related to the critique of orientalist works is provided.
