Abstract

Computational science and engineering (CSE) technologies and methods are increasingly considered important tools for the humanities and are being incorporated into scholarly practice. This chapter uses a single case of the use of simulation in the humanities in order to better understand the value and the issues with cross-disciplinary exchanges. We focus on the epistemic practices of this case – by which we mean the practices in which knowledge and truth are manifested, defended, and critiqued. We see these practices and their connections to CSE as requiring increased attention and in this chapter provide some guidance as to potential resources and important themes.
