Patrimoine et Histoire du Code: panel

Patrimoine et Histoire du Code: panel

Ce panel souhaite explorer l’évolution du patrimoine et de l’histoire des codes, que ce soit sous l’influence de la préservation des codes source ou encore d’un renouvellement historiographique porté entre autres par les Critical Code Studies. Les initiatives de la fondation Software Heritage depuis 2016 de préservation mais aussi valorisation des codes comme patrimoine, de même que les travaux en cours dans le champ historique témoignent de ce renouveau qui fait suite aux travaux de Nathan Ensmenger, Martin Campbell-Kelly et bien d’autres.

L'histoire au temps des algorithmes. Une réflexion prospective sur l'introduction de l'intelligence artificielle en histoire au 21 e siècle

L'histoire au temps des algorithmes. Une réflexion prospective sur l'introduction de l'intelligence artificielle en histoire au 21 e siècle

Cet article s’intéresse à l’impact de formes d’intelligence artificielle (IA) sur trois aspects de la pratique de l’histoire : découverte et lecture de sources primaires, interprétation puis écriture et diffusion de la recherche. Des corpus de sources sont collectés, rassemblés et traités avec des algorithmes liés à l’apprentissage machine (machine learning) ; la production de sources est modifiée par le développement des grands modèles de langage (LLM) donnant à voir des documents plausibles plutôt que véridiques ou authentiques, invitant à réfléchir au futur de la critique historienne.

Marketing the Transformation. Introducing the technological innovation of Color Television to Germany, France, and Luxembourg

The CD-ROM as a Digital Game-Changer

The CD-ROM as a Digital Game-Changer

The role of CD-ROMs has often been underestimated in the journey towards digitization and media convergence (Jenkins, 2006) by the current state of the art (Schafer, 2022), leading to limited exploration (although we may mention some analysis in game studies, like Therrien, 2019, as well as in the field of cultural heritage, i.e, Lavigne, 2005).

Surviving Transformation. Technological progress in the (post)socialist steel industry in the GDR 1985-1995

Surviving Transformation. Technological progress in the (post)socialist steel industry in the GDR 1985-1995

The dissolution of the Eastern Bloc in 1989/91 led to a significant decline in East German steel production and the closure of many plants, mainly due to low productivity rates and technological deficits compared to new international competitors. However, the Maxhütte Unterwellenborn in Thuringia managed to endure this period, largely by adapting Western technology. First, a technologically advanced rolling mill was installed at the site by the Belgian Cockerill Sambre in 1985, followed by the acquisition and modernisation by Luxembourg’s ARBED group in 1992.

Keynote lecture: When Literacy Goes Digital: Rethinking the Ethics and Politics of Digitisation

In recent years, the critical turn in digital humanities has sparked numerous discussions about digital literacy in the discipline of history. While critical work has focused on data, tools, and the skills that historians need in the current digital age, questions remain about the broader contours of digital literacy and the multiple meanings that could be attributed to it.
