Zusammenfassung	Digital hermeneutic analysis applies the classical tradition of hermeneutic interpretation — rooted in Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Gadamer, and Ricoeur — to born-digital and digitised texts, online corpora, and digital artifacts. It asks not only what digital objects mean, but how digital mediation, platform architecture, and computational affordances shape the conditions of meaning itself. The method is prominent in digital humanities, digital history, and media studies.	Content analysis is a systematic research technique for reducing text, visual, or media material into coded categories so that patterns can be counted, compared, and interpreted. Formalised by Klaus Krippendorff in his widely cited methodology textbook (latest edition 2018), the method sits at the boundary of qualitative and quantitative inquiry: it imposes structured, replicable coding on inherently meaning-laden material.
