摘要	Digital textual criticism is the application of computational and digital methods to the scholarly analysis, collation, and editing of historical texts. Building on centuries-old philological practice, it uses tools such as XML/TEI encoding, automated collation software (e.g., CollateX), and computational stemmatology to compare manuscript witnesses, reconstruct textual transmission histories, and produce digital critical editions that are richer and more transparent than their print counterparts.	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.
