Web archives of the COVID-crisis : challenges related to short-term and long-term readability

Knowledge-based societies rely to a large extent on intangible assets and digital technologies, and these are having an increasing impact on information systems, power, governance and citizenship, driven by a proliferation of stakeholders and networks at multiple levels (states, international organisations, private companies, civil society and citizens.

Keep calm and stay focused. Historicising and intertwining scales and temporalities of online virality

This presentation takes online virality as its starting point, specifically that of memes and the question of their historicisation , in order to question how they may be resituated in a context of production and circulation, taking social, spatial and temporal logics into account. After a discussion of the scalable reading as applied to virality, with specific emphasis on the importance of the spatial and temporal aspects, we propose a case study based on the Harlem Shake.

Economic Ideas and Political Action in Shaping Economic and Monetary Union: Pierre Werner and Luxembourg

Economic Ideas and Political Action in Shaping Economic and Monetary Union: Pierre Werner and Luxembourg

The international financial centre in Luxembourg grew considerably in the 1960s, driven by proactive government policy, flexible regulation, a willingness to harness external opportunities and the establishment of Community institutions and European funding institutions in the country. As Luxembourg was in a currency union with Belgium within the Belgium-Luxembourg Economic Union and did not have its own Central Bank, these developments were all the more meaningful.

3D Digital Heritage and Historical Storytelling: Outcomes from the Interreg EMR Terra Mosana Project

3D Digital Heritage and Historical Storytelling: Outcomes from the Interreg EMR Terra Mosana Project

The paper explains how the activities undertaken in the Terra Mosana project have combined the writing of new heritage narratives with the creation of digital 3D virtual experiences. The main objective of the project was to strengthen the sense of belonging to the same community for the citizens of the Euregio Meuse-Rhine by recreating their common history and heritage in 3D. This was achieved through virtual and augmented reality experiences based on cross-border and renewed historical storylines.

From shoemaker to cobbler: Luxembourg's shoemaking trade through the ages

From shoemaker to cobbler: Luxembourg's shoemaking trade through the ages

Das Schuhmacherhandwerk hat sich in Luxemburg in seiner Art und Verbreitung historisch stark verän-dert. Während der Beruf bis ins späte 19. Jahrhundert hinein vor allem ein produzierendes Handwerk war, wurde er mit der immer weiter um sich greifenden Industrialisierung der Schuhproduktion mehr und mehr zu einem Reparaturhandwerk. In dieser neuen Rolle als „middle ground“ zwischen Massen-produktion und -konsum waren die Schuhmacher im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts gezwungen, sich an die neuen gesellschaftlichen wie ökonomischen Verhältnisse anzupassen.
