Der Tod eines Soldaten unterscheidet sich vom natürlichen Tod eines Zivilisten, der durch Alter oder Krankheit stirbt. Er stirbt oft jung und durch Gewalt. Im Krieg zu fallen war stets eine Besonderheit. Die Heldenverehrung und Phrasen wie „Gefallen für das Vaterland!“ sind schnelle Assoziationen mit Tod im Krieg. Nina Janz hat sich dem Thema aus kulturwissenschaftlich-historischer Perspektive genähert und dazu geforscht, wie unterschiedlich den Kriegstoten gedacht wurde.

In this part of the book is a review on the diverse academic forms in which University of Luxembourg and C2DH are active on the research of contemporary history in Luxembourg and Russia in an interdisciplinary manner and from a transnational perspective.

Ce séminaire s’est focalisé sur l’analyse critique d’images de la guerre froide. Dans une première partie, il a été question du pouvoir des images et de leur manipulation à des fins de propagande. Ensuite, à travers des exemples concrets, l’outil numérique StoryMap a été présenté, invitant les étudiants à décrypter des caricatures afin de construire leur propre analyse critique.

The PhD project has been supervised under the regulations of the Cotutelle agreement between the University of Luxembourg (C²DH) and Charles University (the Faculty of Education). The aim of the thesis is to analyze and compare the development and changes of Jewish identity and Jewishness in post-war Jewish generations in the years 1945–1990 born or living in the Czech lands (Czech, Moravia, Silesia) and Luxembourg. The research focuses only on the territory of the Czech lands (Czech Republic) and Luxembourg; it does not include the current Slovak territory.

At the center of the conversation about young people of the same age in the same city as today's high school students from Esch, were Soviet girls and guys who were taken by the Nazis to work in the steel industry in Luxembourg. Luxembourg schoolchildren participate in the design of the monument to their peers 80 years ago, together with a sculpture from Russia.

If the cyborg remains a human - repaired, augmented or diminished -, the emergence of metaphorical or real figures such as the latter as well as hybrids, robots, drones and AIs, is perhaps the expression of an anthropological major shift.

This lecture will explore the intersection of Jewish Studies and Digital Humanities in general, and the myriad ways in which new technologies affect the field of Jewish History in particular. Importantly, the digital turn in Jewish Studies needs to be historicised; as is the case for the humanities in general, applications of computing in Jewish Studies go back at least 60 years.

The paper describes a framework for digital pedagogy and evaluation that combines different approaches – theoretical, application-oriented and project-based –, underpinned by a view of the digital humanities classroom metaphorically defined as a “node”.

Since Robert Darnton’s 1999 essay sketched a broad vision of what could become historical scholarship, many scholars have tried to put into practice new ways to publish in the digital era. Inspired by the concept of digital hermeneutics, the Journal of Digital History – a joint venture between the C2DH and De Gruyter Publishing group – proposes to put Darnton’s vision into reality by offering a multi-layered publication platform for data-driven scholarship in the field of digital history.
