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

"Historiographical Themes in the History of Psychiatry" published on by null.

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.

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

Ziel des Beitrages ist es, das Potenzial der experimentellen Medienarchäologie für eine sinnes- und emotionsgeschichtliche Anreicherung der Popgeschichte aufzuzei gen. Als heuristische Forschungsmethode sensibilisiert der »hands-on approach« der experimentellen Medienarchäologie Historiker:innen für die den Objekten benen materiellen »affordances« und deren soziale wie performative Qualitäten. Die Kombination einer praxeologisch ausgerichteten Emotionsgeschichte mit einer

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.

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.

Roundtable: Jane Winters, Anat Ben-David, Nicola Bingham, Sophie Gebeil and Valérie Schafer. Over nearly three decades of web archiving, we have witnessed profound

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.

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?

The article uses the concept of border temporalities to offer a hermeneutic interpretation of an old letter containing a request from a cross-border female migrant from Luxembourg to access French welfare benefits. In doing so, it systematically unravels the way in which time was lived and experienced differently by borderland residents as opposed to French lawmakers.

This article explores the history and genealogies of digital history, set within the broader context of how new technologies have shaped historical research practices and knowledge production since at least the late nineteenth century. For over a century, historians have reflected on the impact of mechanical aids and computing on their discipline. Along the way, they have debated key epistemological and methodological questions that have resurfaced in our current era of digital history, yet this is often forgotten.
