Data

The presentation is dedicated to the practice of digital workflow within an Oral History research project, dealing with the design of a unified process regardless the varieties of metadata fields created in three partner countries of the project, the differences understanding of data protection within and outside of the EU, applied terminology, diversity of the preliminary data storage and the mode of transcription (manual or semi-manual/ ASR).

The end of the Second World War marked the start of a new era with worldwide support for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). In signing the Universal Declaration, Member States of the United Nations (UN) pledged to promote a series of universal values codified in the document. As a UN organisation, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was assigned to disseminate the declaration and its content through educational initiatives and mass communication worldwide.

Viz your PhD in History! is a collaboration between PhD students at the end of their doctoral research journeys. Aida Horaniet Ibañez, a researcher in data visualization for digital history, works with three researchers from the discipline of history: Daniel Richter – analyzing the evolution of peripheral labor streets in Esch-sur-Alzette between the 1890s and 1935, Suzana Lopes Ferreira Cascao – researching the bourgeoisie in Esch-sur-Alzette between 1840s and 1920s, and Irene Portas Vazquez – researching clandestine pathways in the French-Luxembourgish border

This paper builds upon my recent article Digital History and the Politics of Digitisation and addresses the question of how European minority heritage fares in the digital age by taking the transnational case of Yiddish as an example.

Port City Territories in Action: A collaborative Laboratory for Inclusive Energy Transition (PACT) was officially launched on October 24th, 2024, as a new COST Action, supported and funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST). Management committee members from fifteen European countries joined three COST facilitators to lay the groundwork for the coming four years of researching and networking. PACT’s goal is to think through the future implementation of a sustainable energy transition within port city territories.

The proliferation of digital tools, methods, and sources available to historians over the last few decades has jeopardized our shared understanding of the provenance and traceability of historical research. The rise of generative AI poses still further risks, not just in the fear of faked sources, but also in the naïve misuse of LLM-based co-pilots in the hands of researchers seeking assistance with datafication and analysis.

In the field of European integration history and Europeanisation, the master narrative was built for a long time on the “founding fathers” syntagma, overlooking the role of women.

This programma?c paper departs from the premise that new technologies, whether analog, digital, or both, have long been applied to the various steps that make up the historical research process. It argues that the ques?on of how to frame a history of digital history can thus not be reduced to the ques?on of when digital electronic compu?ng entered historical research, an oGen implicitly assumed star?ng point.

Avoir « le plaisir de rouler en musique » en utilisant un autoradio est encore peu courant en France lorsque Philips lance ce slogan publicitaire en 1958. La plupart des Français n’ont même pas encore « le plaisir de rouler », car seul un faible pourcentage de ménages possède une voiture. Mais au cours des deux décennies suivantes, cette situation change de manière significative tandis que le taux de possession d’autoradios augmente également. Cette présentation vise à examiner l’introduction de l’autoradio dans la société française

Dr. Inna Ganschow’s presentation is a nuanced reconstruction of the historical events concerning Soviet forced laborers in Luxembourg during World War II.

This chapter analyses the historical development of Luxembourg's economy from a comparative perspective (with other EU Member States) and from a geopolitical outlook (with regard to the world's smaller States), and then highlights its strengths and weaknesses in the dual context of globalisation and polycrisis. The conclusions take a forward-looking approach at the main challenges facing Luxembourg's economy.
