Abstract
The paper explores the intersection between Digital Humanities (DH) and Plural Design in the context of interpretative data visualization for the comparative analysis of religious texts. The aim is to balance quantitative approaches for identifying patterns with qualitative ones that enrich the humanistic interpretation of structures within the field of religious studies. In this perspective, the uBIQUity project is introduced as a platform designed to detect intertextual references within sacred texts. The platform seeks to develop tools that enhance human observational capabilities and foster a richer, more participatory engagement with religious texts, in line with an inclusive and transdisciplinary approach. The expected benefits for the DH community will extend to a broader audience, contributing to countering misinformation, fundamentalism, and all forms of discrimination arising from the manipulation and distortion of knowledge.
