Artearen historia digital parekiderantzeuskal emakume artistak Wikipedian

Abstract

As digital humanities develop within the Basque academic context, new lines of research are expanding. One of those lines is the relationship between the asque Wikipedia and different fields of knowledge. In this article, we will specifically examine the ability to visualize women artists in ikipedia in order to provide a more complete History of Art. As such, our main goal is to reflect on the opportunities and challenges that Wikipedia offers for the visibility of authors. To this end, we have first revisited the foundations of the discourse surrounding the history of art, starting from traditional viewpoints before settling on feminist revisions. We have then analysed the entries of Basque artists on Wikipedia. On the one hand, we will take into account the gender distributions of the number of artists in order to emerge trends; on the other hand, we will examine the characteristics of existing biographies, focusing on the presence of writing, age trends, and images. In this way, we will shed light on the current situation of Basque women artists on Wikipedia and provide basic knowledge for the development of this line of research in the future.
