Data

Avant de constituer une ‘archive’ ou ‘collection’ se déroule une pratique en apparence banale : celle du stockage. C'est à la fois une pratique triviale et technique, qui relève d’usages individuels (stockage de musique, de photos personnelles, de données…) mais aussi collectifs (stockage par les médias eux-mêmes, les institutions patrimoniales…).

The talk was held as a part of the public outreach of the ZWANG project which considers the fate of the Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian forced labourers called Ostarbeiters and the Soviet prisoners of war

The discussion on the relationship with Eastern Europe constitutes a recurrent feature of German and Polish political cultures and has materialised in institutions, producing a public discourse on the issue. This expertise emerged in the context of the foundation of the modern German and Polish states and evolved against the backdrop of unstable relations of Germany and Poland with Eastern Europe between the First World War and the new Ostpolitik of Willy Brandt.

L’équipe de ResPaDon organise une journée d’échange autour des résultats et des perspectives de ce projet débuté en mars 2021. Des conditions d’accès aux collectes collaboratives, des enjeux juridiques à la coopération entre acteurs nationaux et établissements de proximité, le Réseau de Partenaires pour l’exploration et l’analyse de données numériques (ResPaDon) propose de partager les résultats de sa démarche pour développer les usages scientifiques de la collection des archives du dépôt légal du web.

Proposed in the United States of America in the 1970s, the term “public history” is now used in various parts of the world. The internationalization of the field of public history raises various questions about its definition, its practices, and its theories. Based on sometimes long-established practices, public history reflects new approaches to audiences, collaboration and authority in history production. The article distinguishes and analyses the different phases of internationalization in the 1970s, 1990s, and 2010s and argues for a new international public history.

This guided poster presentation will give an overview of initial findings from my doctoral research, analyzing how public urban green spaces (PUGS) shaped an urban citizenry in Hamburg and Marseille in the aftermath of WWII and continuing until the First Oil Shock in 1973. Focusing specifically on public parks and playgrounds, these two spaces allow for an in-depth analysis of how urban citizens were meant to spend their free time and how their behavior was formed by the public spaces available to them.

Luxembourg is currently one of the most politically stable, consensus-oriented, and prosperous countries in the world, characterised by am advanced social market economy, and a level of material wellbeing above the EU average.

La région comprise entre les villes de Waimes, Malmedy, Trois-Pont, Lierneux et Saint-Vith est connue pour abriter de nombreux tertres d’orpaillage. Ces structures ont été identifiés comme telles à la fin du XIXe siècle donnant lieu à une petite ruée vers l’or locale. Troisautres zones de l’Ardenne belge présentent également des traces d’activités aurifères (près des massifs de Serpont, de Rocroi et de Givogne). Aucune fouille systématique n’y a jamais été pratiquée même si plusieurs recensements ont été dressés par des auteurs provenant d’horizons variés.

In this post we continue our series — ‘Historical Research in the Digital Age’ — which explores historians’ use and understanding of the digital tools and sources that shape modern research culture. The series explores the impact and implications of digital resources (positive and negative) for how historians work today.
