Since March 2020, the Warlux project at C²DH has been delving into the experiences and narratives of Luxembourg's 'forced recruits' and their families during the Second World War. The aim is to break with the traditional historiography surrounding the 'forced recruits' and to critically examine established narratives within the country's overarching historical discourse.

We have a special episode today from DePOT affiliates at the University of Luxembourg examining the steel crisis in Luxembourg in the 1970s and the deindustrialization of East Germany's steel sector after 1990. Stefan Krebs, the head of the project Confronting Decline (CONDE) is joined by two PhD students, Zoé Konsbruck and Nicolas Arendt to discuss their research into the impacts industrial closure had on steel towns, with a particular emphasis on transnational comparisons.

Le banquet des fraudeurs (1952) apparaît comme une œuvre atypique dans la filmographie de Henri Storck. Anomalie dans une carrière principalement dédiée au documentaire pour les uns, film hybride de multiples concessions ou instrumentalisations politiques pour les autres, ce premier long métrage de fiction tourné pour partie dans ce que deviendra l’Euregio Meuse-Rhin, résiste a priori à bien des grilles d’analyse développées au contact de la riche filmographie du cinéaste belge. L’hétérogénéité stylistique du film n’y est pas pour rien.

The «long» 1960s in Western Europe saw a dynamic development of mass consumption, especially in the field of consumer electronics. Media artifacts, such as transistor radios, television sets, or cassette recorders all became significantly more common in Luxembourg, France, and Germany, influencing the composition of the media ensemble and opening up new ways for consumers to interact with media.

Les relations entre la Belgique et l’Allemagne sont souvent décrites par les acteurs politiques et diplomatiques comme étant parmi les plus étroites et les moins conflictuelles au sein de l’Union Européenne. Certains indicateurs macro-économiques corroborent cette assertion. On ne peut nier que le rapprochement entre la Belgique et l’Allemagne de l’Ouest dans le contexte de la guerre froide et de l’intégration européenne fait partie des évolutions historiques les plus remarquables de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle.

This paper examines the annotation practices behind DHARPA (the Digital History Advanced Research Accelerator project) and its innovative data orchestration tool, kiara. By focusing on the importance of annotation across various stages of research, kiara aims to enhance transparency and traceability in humanities research. Kiara’s design draws on the wide range of research experiences of the project’s team members and its collaborators.

Special episode today within the DePOT podcast series: Affiliates at the University of Luxembourg examine the steel crisis in Luxembourg in the 1970s and the deindustrialization of East Germany's steel sector after 1990.

My presentation at the panel aims to enlighten some value, challenges and issues related to the heritagisation of code.

By considering the flows, mobilities and networks of foreign labour in the Minette cross-border basin during the inter-war period, we wanted to make a contribution to migration studies by tackling, in a transnational approach, a subject that requires several heuristic approaches and that is part of a relatively short period of time, marked by a turning point in national policies for controlling mobility, and characterised by a certain stability of state borders but also by economic and geopolitical tensions.

This article seeks to historicise the use of new technologies in historical research and reflect on the differences between working with online and traditional archives from a historian’s perspective. In doing so, it will discuss the various factors that must be considered, what political dimensions of archival and curatorial work exist and how they change in a digital context.
