            Dynamic qualitative filtering for linked (geo)visualisations: a prototype for exploring the collective memory of Instagram posts

            This paper describes a prototype geo extension to an open source graph-based tool designed for analysing co-occurrence in large multimedia collections of historical resources. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, combining tools and practices from humanities and geography, we explore how it can be extended to facilitate both social and spatial enquiry. For the prototype development we

            Benelux, Europe and the Cold War, the power of non-powers

            The conference “Benelux, Europe and the Cold War, the power of non-powers”, which took place on 30 and 31 March 2017 at the University of Luxembourg, was the first of three events planned in the FNR-funded CORE junior project “Benelux”, as part of its public outreach and academic output objectives. The conference sought to highlight asymmetrical power relations in the Cold War period of European integration by examining European security. What was/is European security in the context of the Cold War? How was and is it conceived?

            Local History: "Frauen: Denk mal"

            Die Stadt Luxemburg scheint ihr Stadtbild durch den Wechsel von eng be- bauten Straßenzügen und offenen Plätzen, Wohnvierteln und Parks, Banken und Rasenflächen in ein harmonisches Gleichgewicht bringen zu wollen. Eine der Methoden, Übergänge zwischen bebautem und freiem Raum zu kreieren oder auch ein Zuviel an „Luft“ zu füllen, ist ein Denkmal, das die Leere des Raums geschickt ausbalanciert. Außerdem erfüllte es außer der dekorativen schon immer auch eine erzieherische Funktion: Es sichert Erinnerungswerte, schreibt bestimmte Beispiele ins Gedächtnis der Nachkommen ein.

            La révolution de Février, qui s'est déroulée du 8 mars (23 février) 1917 au 13 mars (28 février) 1917, marque le début de la révolution russe de 1917. Elle force l'abdication du tsar Nicolas II et provoque la fin de l'Empire russe. Un gouvernement provisoire dirige, mais la même année, la révolution d'Octobre met au pouvoir des bolcheviks et permet la création de l'Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques (URSS).
