Abstract

Entre 2013 et 2023, un collectif d’historiens a publié une série de six volumes sur l’histoire de la Communauté germanophone de Belgique, entité fédérée dans l’Etat fédéral belge située à la frontière avec l’Allemagne, les Pays-Bas et le Luxembourg (1). Le volume 4, paru en 2019, traite de la période 1919-1945 qui comprend les trois changements de nationalité de 1919-20/1940/1944 du territoire alors connu sous la désignation d’Eupen-Malmedy entre l’Allemagne et la Belgique.

The contribution of CD-ROMs to the media and technology landscape is often overlooked, although it was highlighted in the fields of creativity (Lessard, 2018) and video gaming (Therrien, 2019). Their role as bridge technology is one aspect that has received little attention, while their impact was significant: CD-ROMs were pivotal connectors facilitating early Internet and Web access (Schafer, 2022).

In the late 1980s and early 1990s an era of “new media” opened, full of the promises of multimedia, while databases emerged as the new “symbolic form” (Manovich, 2002), and interactivity turned into a buzzword. Our proposal revisits this history through one “transmedia” and “boundary” object: CD-ROMS in Print books. These catalogs of more than a thousand pages aimed to list, classify, and describe all available CD-ROMs of the time.

Lecture in the Introduction to Digital Humanities seminar for Master in Digital Humanities at the University of Athens.

This presentation aims to explore key issues of web archives and social media analysis, drawing on findings and experience from the collective HIVI project (A History of Online Virality, hivi.uni.lu), which concluded in 2024. The focus is on the challenges, opportunities and limits that arise when using born- digital sources to trace the evolution of “Internet phenomena” over time. The presentation will first examine questions related to Sources and Corpora – specifically, the challenges of preservation and of

This paper aims to explore how an entry through the perspective of women and gender has revitalized and still revitalizes the history of computing, STEM, and digital technologies and to what extent this approach also aligns with current IT challenges as well as educational issues. It revisits key themes such as invisibility, intersectionality, embodiment, and inclusiveness, by drawing on significant works from recent decades.

Les débats et publications autour des archives du Web concernent de nombreuses disciplines – littérature, art, histoire, information et communication – mais également plusieurs corps de métiers – recherche, bibliothèques, archives, et de manière générale toutes les professions liées à la conservation. Cette richesse et cette communauté d’intérêts montrent à quel point les archives du Web constituent un objet transversal qui suscite des questions qui ne sont pas limitées à des disciplines ou champs professionnels.

This article offers a collective narrative portrait of the soldiers who fought on both sides of the Western Front.

The digital age is forcing archives and historical science to abandon their established division of labour. The issue of shaping the documentary tradition and ensuring its reliability brings archivists and historians together. This contribution discusses some recent initiatives in this area and argues for greater cooperation through practical initiatives.

Le phénomène du Harlem Shake devient viral au cours du mois de février 2013. Il est remixé et rejoué par des milliers de personnes, notamment en France. Il combine des caractéristiques telles que les dimensions internationales, trans-plateformes, transculturelle et translinguistique des phénomènes viraux, ainsi qu’un caractère à la fois démesuré et éphémère.

In the presentation were compared two metadata sets collected within two research projects in the different years and for different purposes of the University of Saar, Germany (MultiLing) and C2DH, Luxembourg (U-CORE). Both sets contain data to the project participants with Ukrainian language knowledge. The aim of the presented analysis was to compare the available and comparable data and see, how the foreign language knowledge of the project participants impacted their migration behaviour before the Russian full-scale invasion in Ukraine in 2022 and after that.

How are borders and time related? Are borders shifting state lines enshrined in history, the landscape, and cultural heritage? Are borders places where new understandings of time and space can be formed? Are temporalities of borders the material appearance, transformation, and disappearance of borders or the social practices which leave us with traces of times, tidelines, phantom, or ghost borders? Have we paid enough attention to the experiences of people from different ages passing borders?
