Abstract: Of Parameters Filled with Self-awareness and Some Due Over-enthusiasm With this second issue of magazén's 2021 volume we are drawing towards the end of a research journey, which involved dozens of international scholars mutually pondering what kind of methodological consolidation was in sight for the wider and heterogeneous field of digital and public humanities after more than two decades in the making.Browsing through the papers of both issues of the current volume, we are under the impression that the scholarly community globally operating in this varied domain demonstrates a scientific self-awareness such as to make it finally an established sector.Perhaps we are overenthusiastic for the novelties emerging from various research clusters.Or, rather, we are simply underestimating how much it takes to establish a new (inter)disciplinary field at academic level, which of course also comprises the appointment of tenuretrack positions and stably funded research centres.However, it is already notable that scholars who are active in the digital and public humanities get on conducting their independent research.This This introduction paper was mutually agreed on by the Authors who acted as Curators of magazén's volume 2021, divided in two issues, with the help of the Journal's Editorial Board.
