En este trabajo intento contribuir a una discusión sobre cómo las herramientas computacionales (análisis de redes, mineria de textos y procesamiento de lenguaje natural) pueden ayudar a reconsiderar algunos de los temas más clásicos del campo historiográfico, en este caso, la historia de la clase obrera y su participacion politica.

Despite increased attention, critical engagement with gender data in the Digital Humanities remains limited. This contribution investigates gender data in DH projects, assessing gender categories, provenance, and structuredness. Emphasising conscious and transparent decision-making, we encourage DH projects to avoid unquestioned use of binary gender categories and advocate for comprehensive provenance documentation.

Failing to recognize this dynamic has made it difficult to formalize CA training and field entry. This paper discusses establishing core competencies, sequencing, and processes to reconcile clashes among stakeholders.
