WWII: СОВЕТСКИЕ ВОЕННОПЛЕННЫЕ И ВОСТОЧНЫЕ РАБОЧИЕ В ЛЮКСЕМБУРГЕ В 1942-1944 гг.

This publication is the first scientific treatise in the Russian language and covers the use of the labor force of Soviet prisoners of war and Eastern workers in the Luxembourg economy. The essay deals with questions of demographic composi- tion, as well as living and working conditions, which until now have only been dis- cussed on the margins of two other publications on the economy of Luxembourg. Moreover, the essay deals with an unexplored theme of the repatriation of the Soviet citizens from Luxembourg after the liberation of the country in September 1944.

The Documents on Soviet prisoners of war in the German Archives. Sources, documents and research opportunities

The essay offers an overview of the sources in German archives on, and also originating from Soviet prisoners of war in German custody during World War II. Hereby, the focus is on the German Federal Archives (Bundesarchiv, BArch), on the files from military departments and organisations. A complete overview, however, cannot be given here as documents of captured Red Army soldiers are to be found as well in numerous state archives and a lot of small and private collections.

Classroom biographies: Teaching and learning in evolving material landscapes (c. 1960-2015)

Classroom biographies: Teaching and learning in evolving material landscapes (c. 1960-2015)

Despite growing interest in redesigning the material landscape of education, relatively little is known about the impact of these evolving classrooms. The current study aimed to gain insight into the physical learning environment and the potential pedagogical impacts thereof. A ‘biographical approach’ (c.1963-2015), was used to explore the long-term socio-material landscapes where teachers and pupils, classroom materiality and spatiality, and teaching practices are entangled. Stimulated recall interviews were conducted in Flanders (Belgium) with primary school teachers.

Historicizing the Home Movie Dispositif: Reflections from the Longue Durée

Historicizing the Home Movie Dispositif: Reflections from the Longue Durée

This paper reflects on the cultural dynamics of the home movie as a twentieth century family memory practice. Over the years, many generations have documented and materialized their family memories on film, video and digital media. While the making and screening of family films used to be a rather exclusive hobby practiced only by the elite, this has changed considerably in today’s ubiquitous sharing cultures.

L'Histoire d'un pays dans le potrait d'un Homme

Il y a des personnalités qui demeurent dans la mémoire collective par l’empreinte qu’elles ont laissée sur le destin de leurs pays. Pierre Werner (29 décembre 1913 – 24 juin 2002) est de ceux-là. Ministre d’État, Premier Ministre et ministre des Finances pendant de longues décennies, cet intellectuel catholique et démocrate résolu fut l’un des rares hommes d’État qui a traversé le XXe siècle.
