The paper presents a workflow and first experiments using topic modelling to analyse scale representation in historiographical data.

Künstlerische Freiheit versus Wahrheitsanspruch, Klio als Dichterin, Geschichtsschreibung als eine Form von literarischer Erzählung? Natürlich könnte auch die Historiographie zum heutigen Ostbelgien durch die Brille dieser Debatten gelesen werden. Der durch eine Frage herausgehobene Gegenstand des Beitrags ist jedoch pragmatischer gefasst: er geht von der Beobachtung aus, dass zahlreiche literarische Publikationen über Ostbelgien bzw.

Avec 336 milliards de pages Web collectées depuis 1996, la fondation Internet Archive propose un voyage temporel dans la Toile du passé qui a de quoi impressionner le chercheur et n’a rien à envier à la masse de tweets récupérés par la Library of Congress suite à un accord avec Twitter en 2010.

This article compares Jewish responses to antisemitism in Paris and London in the late 1930s, when antisemitism was on the rise in both France and the United Kingdom. There were striking similarities in these responses, yet local contexts and circumstances dominate the historiographies of both cases. The main aim of this article, then, is not so much to offer new insights into the individual cases (both of which have been abundantly analyzed in historical research), but rather to fill a gap by examining the broader factors that account for these similarities.

"De Mediewëssenschaftler Tim van der Heijden huet am Kader vum Projet "Changing Platforms of Ritualized Memory Practices: The Cultural Dynamics of Home Movies" d'Geschicht vum Amateurfilm recherchéiert. Dëse Projet kuckt sech de sougenannten Home Movie vum Ufank vun der Kamera 1895 bis d'Opkomme vun der digitaler Medieplattform YouTube 2005 un. Dobäi huet de van der Heijden sech besonnesch op Phas vum technologesche Wiessel konzentréiert a konstatéiert, datt sech net nëmmen d'Instrument ännert mat deem de private Filmemacher schafft, mee esou guer d'Aart a Weis, wéi sech erënnert gëtt.

The objective of a community detection algorithm is to group similar nodes in a network into communities, while increasing the dis- similarity between them. Several methods have been proposed but many of them are not suitable for large-scale networks because they have high complexity and use global knowledge. The Label Propagation Algorithm (LPA) assigns a unique label to every node and propagates the labels locally, while applying the majority rule to reach a consensus. Nodes

What was/is European security in the context of the Cold War? How was and is it conceived? What role did “non-powers” play in European security, and how did they help define it? These were the main questions discussed during the conference held by the C²DH in March 2017. This edited volume brings together the final, peer-reviewed contributions of the participants, and brings them together in a common publication.

 

Depuis leur émergence au milieu des années 2000, les réseaux sociaux numériques favorisent et provoquent une accélération de la circulation des informations, les transformant en médias à part entière. Leurs moyens et leur infrastructure techniques autorisent leurs membres à participer non seulement à la diffusion mais également à la création et à la mise en forme de ces informations.

Although the ARPANET was a United States-funded project that was deeply rooted in US post-war science and technology policies, it had an international dimension from its very early days. The memories of Michel Elie and Gerard Le Lann are oriented towards their US experience. They testify to an early French presence in the ARPANET project at two stages of its history: in 1969–1970, when the first nodes came into activity, and in 1973–1974, when TCP, which evolved into TCP/IP and became the Internet’s flagship protocol, was defined, replacing NCP, which was at the heart of the ARPANET.

An abundance of geographic information is hidden within texts and multimedia objects that has the potential to enrich our knowledge about the relationship between people and places. One such example is the geographic information embedded within user-generated content collected and curated by the social media giants. Such geographic data can be encoded either explicitly as geotags or implicitly as geographical references expressed as texts that comprise part of a title or image caption. To use such data for knowledge building there is a need for new mapping interfaces.
