Six Memos for the New Millennium : A Dialogue with Andreas Fickers on Epistemic Virtues in the Digital Humanities

Six Memos for the New Millennium : A Dialogue with Andreas Fickers on Epistemic Virtues in the Digital Humanities

Taking Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium as a starting point for a conversation about the epistemic virtues in the Digital Humanities, Andreas Fickers and Annie van den Oever discuss a rejection of the normative tradition of honing an ideal-typical definition of what makes “good science” in favor of an exploration in the phenomenological descriptive tradition of epistemic norms (values) as internalized by scientists. They reflect on the six epistemic virtues that could be instrumental in prompting

Digital Humanities at the Intersection of Three Approaches to Data Visualisation: Statistical Graphics, Data Humanism, and Humanistic Interpretation

Digital Humanities at the Intersection of Three Approaches to Data Visualisation: Statistical Graphics, Data Humanism, and Humanistic Interpretation

Digital humanities has a critical role in the progress of the data visualisation field. First, humanities scholars engage with the concept of knowledge as interpretation. Second, they leverage computational tools and statistical methods to analyse and visualise data and metadata. Finally, Digital Humanities projects are a space for experimentation where different epistemic cultures (which often go beyond the Humanities and Computer Science) negotiate new forms of knowledge.

Traduire collectivement l’ontologie formelle du CIDOC CRM en français sur la plateforme GitLab. Un projet sous le prisme simondonien d’un humanisme technologique

Traduire collectivement l’ontologie formelle du CIDOC CRM en français sur la plateforme GitLab. Un projet sous le prisme simondonien d’un humanisme technologique

This article presents a project of collaborative translation into French of the English documentation of the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC CRM) version 7.1.2. This project uses and, in a way, hacks the distributed management software Git and the GitLab environment. The analysis is based on an ontogeny of the modified platform, using the concepts defined by Gilbert Simondon. These concepts describe the technical object through the process of individuation. The relationship with the platform produces reproducible processes and reusable objects.

Transparent generosity. Introducing the impresso interface for the exploration of semantically enriched historical newspapers

Transparent generosity. Introducing the impresso interface for the exploration of semantically enriched historical newspapers

Semantically enriched historical newspapers offer a multitude of opportunities for data-driven exploration and analysis. In this paper we introduce the impresso interface which integrates several types of semantic enrichments and data visualization and thereby supports new exploratory workflows and the critical assessment of large-scale digitized source collections. The interface targets historians and integrates search, filtering, comparison, and recommendation based on automatically detected topics, linked named entities, text reuse, n-grams, image similarity, language, and OCR quality.

The European Union at a crossroads

The European Union at a crossroads

In a difficult socio-economic context and a geopolitical environment marked by uncertainty, the European elections - scheduled from 6 to 9 June 2024 in the 27 EU Member States - represent a crucial moment with many issues at stake for democracy, solidarity and cohesion on our continent. To face up to these unprecedented societal and transnational challenges, Europe must not only revive the lessons of history to empower countries, regions and communities, but above all encourage the participation and commitment of citizens, among whom the younger generations occupy a place of choice.

Pasts Revisited: The Rise of Public History through Epistemological and Technological Transformations.

Pasts Revisited: The Rise of Public History through Epistemological and Technological Transformations.

The rise of public history is the result of an unfolding technological-epistemological transformation. Gradual changes in media technologies, historiography, museology and museography until well into the 1970s can be considered as a pre-history of public history. During the last third of the twentieth century the rise of memory and related historiographical changes went hand in hand with an increased influence of analogue and digital media that impacted communication, documentation and preservation.

Consequences of the Past and Responsible Histories of Education for the Future

Consequences of the Past and Responsible Histories of Education for the Future

Histories and legacies of colonialism, capitalist extraction of natural resources, damage and disruption to ecosystems balance, anthropocentric concepts of human freedom, sovereignty and growth and their impacts on shared planetary life, have, together, prompted reflection on the fraught, contested, and changing responsibilities of the historian to the past, present, and future.

Le temps des plateformes : enjeux, différences et complémentarité de l’archivage des médias sociaux numériques à la Bibliothèque nationale de France et à l’Institut national de l’audiovisuel

Le temps des plateformes : enjeux, différences et complémentarité de l’archivage des médias sociaux numériques à la Bibliothèque nationale de France et à l’Institut national de l’audiovisuel

Inégalement préservés, les RSN entrent dans les enjeux d’archivage du web de manière plus ou moins précoce. La Bibliothèque nationale de France [BnF] a archivé Dailymotion entre 2007 et 2013, Twitter depuis 2012 et YouTube à partir de 2017. L’Institut national de l’audiovisuel [Ina] archive YouTube et Vimeo depuis 2009-2010 et Twitter depuis 2014. Si toutes les plateformes ne bénéficient pas encore d’une activité de captures régulières, de nouveaux projets de collecte améliorent la couverture. Ainsi la BnF gère des collectes Instagram depuis 2020 et TikTok depuis 2022.
