Les relations entre la Belgique et l’Allemagne sont souvent décrites par les acteurs politiques et diplomatiques comme étant parmi les plus étroites et les moins conflictuelles au sein de l’Union Européenne. Certains indicateurs macro-économiques corroborent cette assertion. On ne peut nier que le rapprochement entre la Belgique et l’Allemagne de l’Ouest dans le contexte de la guerre froide et de l’intégration européenne fait partie des évolutions historiques les plus remarquables de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle.

This paper examines the annotation practices behind DHARPA (the Digital History Advanced Research Accelerator project) and its innovative data orchestration tool, kiara. By focusing on the importance of annotation across various stages of research, kiara aims to enhance transparency and traceability in humanities research. Kiara’s design draws on the wide range of research experiences of the project’s team members and its collaborators.

Cette contribution emprunte les outils de la microhistoire et de l’histoire par le bas pour interroger l’expérience d’un individu confronté aux institutions de prise en charge des personnes vulnérables et à la marge dans la Belgique du XXème siècle. Par l’examen d’un corpus d’archives jusque-là inexploitées dans une recherche scientifique, cet article retrace ainsi le parcours de vie sur

Taking Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium as a starting point for a conversation about the epistemic virtues in the Digital Humanities, Andreas Fickers and Annie van den Oever discuss a rejection of the normative tradition of honing an ideal-typical definition of what makes “good science” in favor of an exploration in the phenomenological descriptive tradition of epistemic norms (values) as internalized by scientists. They reflect on the six epistemic virtues that could be instrumental in prompting
