Digithum reaches its tenth issue and this is worth highlighting given what it means for the consolidation of the project and the confirmation of its relevance and viability. The journal reaches this landmark, which we hope will be the first of many, immersed in a process of continuous improvement that has seen it indexed in the most demanding journal directories.

This dossier contains a series of articles inspired by Edward Said's concept of Orientalism. Together, the articles in the dossier show the importance of Said's contribution and defend the need to continue working to make it even more important and valid, both in the academic context and in terms of the social diffusion it deserves.
DIGITHUM recommends reading the following articles, published in previous issues and related to the dossier.
