            The challenges of searching for women in the COVID-19 web archive collections: Promises, achievements, and pitfalls

            This chapter considers the presence, retrievability, and analysis relating to women, gender, and COVID-19 in web archives, based on research in the international “novel coronavirus IIPC collection”. It focuses on challenges raised by the huge IIPC collection regarding multilingualism, “big data”, access and searchability, silence and noise, duplicates and loss of information, and the use of the Archives Research Compute Hub (ARCH) interface, developed by the Archives Unleashed Team.

            The Luxembourg-Chicago experience: cultural heritage and integration at the fair

            The Luxembourg-Chicago experience: cultural heritage and integration at the fair

            In this presentation, I explored the “Schobermesse” parade in Chicago from the perspective of how the Luxembourg-American community navigated integration into their new host country while pre-serving their cultural heritage in the 19th and 20th century. The study highlights how cultural practices, like parades, serve as dynamic spaces for identity negotiation and heritage continuity in migrant com-munities.

            Hoxha, Enver

            Enver Hoxha (1908–1985) was an international figure whose Cold War significance extended well beyond the borders of Albania. To many Maoists around the world his forty-one-year rule of Albania transformed the county into ‘the only socialist country in Europe.’ Throughout the Cold War, Radio Tirana broadcast in nineteen languages while Hoxha’s many books appeared in at least twenty-seven.

            Framing Histories of Digital History: The Role of Transnational Networks

            Framing Histories of Digital History: The Role of Transnational Networks

            This paper is related to my current book project, which explores the history and genealogies of digital history, set within the broader context of the ways in which technology has shaped historical research practices and knowledge production since the late 19th century. My paper focuses on a key aspect: the circulation and diìusion of knowledge among transnational networks of computing historians, the ways in which these networks were constituted and their transformative inîuence on historical knowledge production.

            Conférence inaugurale Forum de l'AAF (Association des archivistes français)

            En centrant son propos sur les archives numérisées et surtout nativement numériques, Valérie Schafer discutera trois enjeux liés à la question de l’attention. Tout d’abord elle interrogera les permanences et mutations de l’attention que le chercheur porte aux documents mais aussi aux données, notamment quand la lecture et l'analyse sont appuyés sur des outils computationnels et de lecture distante. Ces approches peuvent aussi renouveler les enjeux de représentativité, de participation, d’inclusion, ou encore influencer l’émotion et la curiosité suscitées par l’archive.

            Architectures of Bureaucracy: The Politics of Government Office Buildings in Interwar Belgium

            Architectures of Bureaucracy: The Politics of Government Office Buildings in Interwar Belgium

            This monograph examines the interrelationship between politics and modernist architecture in interwar Belgium, focusing on political, architectural, and administrative elites as propagators of new ideas of governance. While Belgium was strongly influenced by neighbouring France and Germany, it also developed its own avant-garde approaches to socio-political problems. In the second half of the 1930s, the country was the scene of a remarkable political and architectural experiment involving an ambitious plan for the large-scale construction of modernist government office buildings.
