The First World War led to the collapse of the great multiethnic European empires. In Russia, the monarchy is swept away and replaced by the soviet regime. Until 1923, the country was torn apart by a multi-faceted civil war. Moreover, in response to the national awakening of ethnic minorities encompassed in the former Russian space, young national states (Poland, Baltic States, Georgia ...) are being established on the edges of the former empire of the tsars.

The goal of this article is to critically reflect on the practical and epistemological challenges of doing historical research in the digital age. The analysis is based on a case study of the Doctoral Training Unit (DTU) “Digital History and Hermeneutics”, an interdisciplinary research and training programme that was established at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) of the University of Luxembourg.

in the center of the book are people, destinies, their ancestors and descendants, our contemporaries, albeit in the context of historical analysis. First, let us touch on a few examples that explain why the subtitle of the book mentions the atomisation of the diaspora, i.e. fragmentation of the Russian community. The second part of the report is devoted to reading several excerpts from the letters of Russians from Luxembourg, in order to give an opportunity not only to look at their photographs, but also to hear their voices.

This thesis is built upon an experimental study of doing digital public history. I aim to study the digital interferences of the digital component on the historiographic operation as a whole. While the fields of digital and public history are advancing fast with abundant work on development and application of new methodologies, tools and approaches, the discipline of history is still lagging behind in terms of theoretical reflection on the new practices emerging from it. Researchers have been exploring

"Ganschow liefert einen guten Überblick zur russischen Präsenz in Luxemburg. Großzügig illustriert, ergänzt die Publikation die schon reiche Geschichte der Migrationsbewegungen."

A hands-on demonstration of the Kinora Viewer Replica. This public online event shows the fruits of a recent successful collaboration between the C2DH and the Department of Engineering. Combining historical inquiry with a hands-on and technical approach – involving the latest 3D modelling and desktop manufacturing engineering techniques – a media historian and two engineers joined forces to produce a working replica of a very special object in the history of (early) cinema: the Kinora viewer.

At the crossroads of three topics of the workshop (Critical testimonies on the implementation or experiments with new modes of governance; Presentation and analysis of online decision-making tools; Prospective outlook on the governance of knowledge and research infrastructures), this presentation allows us to discuss how to increase multistakeholder cooperation between scientists and other stakeholders in practice and to gather perspectives from different cultural backgrounds into the discussion.

A round doc discussion about studying web archives to understand the history of (trans)national web domains and of transnational events on the web. What do we know, are there any new ideas, and what could be the next steps?

This article investigates the capacities of children to participate actively in their lives in the Belgian-German borderlands in the time period between World War I and World War II. The article interprets a body of historical sources that has hitherto been left unexplored – namely, borderland child ego documents – with the help of insights from child studies and border studies. These ego documents unfold as borderland child heterotopias.

This paper emphasizes the need to think about sustainability as a key element of digital studies and digital hermeneutics. It addresses the inherent tensions between the long-term needs of data preservation and maintenance on the one side, and the short life cycles of the data formats, platforms and infrastructures on the other side. Challenges are not limited to the technical maintenance of software, tools and data, but also apply to the wider institutional contexts, epistemic traditions and social practices in which the doing of research in social sciences and humanities are embedded.

Bis heute beherrscht die Meistererzählung der Ostbelgier als "Opfer" und "Spielball der Geschichte" den öffentlichen Diskurs, wenn es um die Bedeutung der Vergangenheit geht. In der achten und letzten Folge von "100 Jahre Ostbelgien" zeigen die Historiker Andreas Fickers und Christoph Brüll, dass sich in der Auseinandersetzung mit dieser Vergangenheit tiefsitzende Ängste und Sorgen spiegeln. Mentalitätshistorisch gesehen können sie als eine Abfolge von Angstregimen gedeutet werden.

La pandémie du Covid-19 dont l’Europe a un temps été l’épicentre, a entrainé de lourdes conséquences pour la santé et la vie quotidienne des citoyens. Les 27 membres de l’UE ont pris de mesures nationales exceptionnelles (état d'urgence, confinement, limitation de l'activité économique et des déplacements, fermeture des frontières) en agissant en ordre dispersé. L’Union a été épinglée pour son manque de répondant .Mais quelles sont ses prérogatives en matière sanitaire? Qu’est-ce que l’UE peut faire – et ne peut pas faire – lorsqu’elle est confrontée à une crise de cette magnitude?
