This article examines the contact boundaries between modern languages research and the digital culture. These boundaries extend between the analogue and digital environment in the production of knowledge and research in Brazil. More specifically, I argue that modern languages research draws on the digital culture for the development of its discipline and range of investigation. This essay is part of the ongoing study carried out by the Language Acts and Worldmakingproject and concludes that greater multilingual engagement is required within the Digital Humanities, as well as a more extensive understanding of how these two areas of contact communicate and collaborate.
