            Digital Resources and Tools in Historical Research

            One of the characteristic features of modern life is the omnipresence of images - in public life as well as in the private surroundings. At latest with coining the term "Visual history" at the beginning of the nineteen nineties historical disciplines are dealing with this ever growing pool of pictorial sources. This is also true for educational history - especially when keeping in mind that the use of images in an educational context is common practice since early modern ages.

            L'euro en quête d'un nouveau souffle

            L'euro en quête d'un nouveau souffle

            L’euro est l’une des grandes aventures du XXe siècle. Pour la première fois des pays égaux et souverains consentent d’abandonner leurs monnaies nationales - symbole intrinsèque aux États nations - pour créer une monnaie unique gérée par une nouvelle institution, une banque centrale à l’échelon de l’Europe. Si l’euro ressemble davantage à un instrument technique pour une meilleure intégration économique, il représente surtout une construction institutionnelle originale et une forte avancée politique, néanmoins incomplète.

            Histoire de la gouvernance d'Internet

            initialement laboratoire d’une démocratie technique inachevée, la gouvernance de l’Internet pose rapidement la question de l’articulation du rôle des États, des experts techniques, des acteurs économiques, des groupes impliqués et des usagers en général. Elle implique de penser les continuités et ruptures dans le temps court de l’histoire d’Internet, mais aussi dans la poursuite de luttes plus anciennes pour la maîtrise de l’information et des communications, où les rapports de pouvoir n’ont jamais été absents.

            Ein (un)möglicher Dialog? Überlegungen zum Verhältnis von Historikern und Schriftstellern in Ostbelgien

            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.

            Jewish responses to anti-Semitism in Paris and London in the late 1930s as European Jewish political history

            Jewish responses to anti-Semitism in Paris and London in the late 1930s as European Jewish political history

            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.

            Humanities Talk - radio interview by Danièle Wecker

            "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.

            A Memory-Based Label Propagation Algorithm for Community Detection

            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

            The BENELUX, Regional Groupings and the Dynamics of European Integration: Contemporary and Historical Perspectives

            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.

            Towards place-based exploration of Instagram: Using co-design to develop an interdisciplinary geovisualization prototype

            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.
