Sous les pavés, l’archive ! Luttes sociales et archives du Web

Sous les pavés, l’archive ! Luttes sociales et archives du Web

L’archivage du Web depuis 1996, d’abord par Internet Archive, avant que se multiplient les initiatives institutionnelles, notamment européennes, a créé un vaste patrimoine nativement numérique des luttes sociales. Évolutif dans le temps, dans l’espace et selon les plateformes, il invite à penser la notion d’archive vivante, les relations entre mémoire et histoire, les écritures de l’histoire des luttes sociales, les potentialités mais aussi les risques (méthodologiques, éthiques) qu’il pose.

Supporting findability of COVID-19 research with large-scale text mining of scientific publications

Supporting findability of COVID-19 research with large-scale text mining of scientific publications

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, a lot of research efforts were quickly redirected towards studies on SARS-CoV2 and COVID-19 disease, from the sequencing and assembly of viral genomes to the elaboration of robust testing methodologies and the development of treatment and vaccination strategies. At the same time, a flurry of scientific publications around SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 began to appear, making it increasingly difficult for researchers to stay up-to-date with latest trends and developments in this rapidly evolving field.

On the origins of the European idea

On the origins of the European idea

Puisant ses racines dans l’antiquité gréco-romaine, forgeant sa teneur dès l’apparition des premiers États-nations au Moyen-Âge, et se profilant de manière résolue à l’époque contemporaine, l’idée européenne s’est effectivement concrétisée au XXe siècle. Avant qu’elle ne devienne un véritable projet politique, l’idée européenne est restée limitée au cercle des visionnaires, qui ambitionnaient de préserver la paix par la construction d’une Europe unie.
