- Abstract
This article presents the potentialities and difficulties encountered during the development of digital tools as part of an interdisciplinary project investigating drawings of gods by children and adolescents. It focuses on the resulting reorientations of the project compared to initial expectations. In particular, we will describe how solutions were found to take advantage of the potential of digital tools, and what choices had to be made regarding these tools, according to four types of challenges: the introduction and adaptation of digital tools to questions in the humanities and social sciences, the simultaneous development of tools and research questions, the technical limitations resulting from the novelty of the subject from a technological point of view, and the collaboration between the humanities and digital specialists.
