Abstract: 

Digital Humanities (DH) are usually defined by emphasizing their intersectional nature. However, the role that technology plays in this definition is rarely analyzed in terms of access and equity inside Academia. Digital Scholarly Editions (DSE) are at the core of DH. However, from a Latin American and a Global South perspective, the DSE field is perceived as being dominated by technologies that are expensive to use and maintain, and by technologies that are still unfamiliar to scholars. In this talk I reflect on the possibilities that the Latin American Open Science experiences can bring to the DSE field, to which it adds minimal computing practices, open source standards and tools that facilitate project building, data reuse, and research replicability.
