"Un texte qui a changé le monde"

"Un texte qui a changé le monde"

L’Union européenne plonge ses racines dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale (1939-1945), le conflit le plus meurtrier de l’histoire de l’humanité. Alors que l’Europe tente de se reconstruire, des tensions politiques fracturent le continent entre l’Est et l’Ouest et la guerre froide naissante fait resurgir le spectre d’une nouvelle confrontation. Mais comment forger une paix durable entre les adversaires d’hier ? Le problème principal réside dans la relation entre la France et l'Allemagne, ennemies héréditaires, qui se sont fait par trois fois la guerre (1870, 1914 et 1939).

La signification historique de la Déclaration de Robert Schuman (9 mai 1950)

Le 9 mai 1950, Robert Schuman (1886-1963), ministre français des Affaires étrangères, propose la création de la Communauté européenne du charbon et de l’acier (CECA), jetant ainsi les bases d’une Europe unie, fondée sur la liberté, la démocratie et le partage. S’en suivent sept décennies durant lesquels le projet européen progresse de 6 à 27 membres et évolue au gré des succès et des crises, en apportant au continent la plus longue période de paix dans son histoire.

Studying Events: Feedback on a Pedagogical Experiment

Studying Events: Feedback on a Pedagogical Experiment

Based on the experience of the Winter School I conducted for 2 years on Web archives at the university of Luxembourg and which involved research on European events and Europan history by Master’s students, I will draw some methodological conclusions (interesting topics, difficulties in grasping participation, typology of transnational events with regard to Web archives, issues of visual studies and transmedia studies...).

Contextualising and engaging with Web domains

Contextualising and engaging with Web domains

This presentation suggests concrete avenues both to contextualize research on web domains and domain names (e.g. collaboration with the Afnic in France and use of its web archives to retrieve the price of a domain name, its policy for allocating domain names, the number of domain names it allocated with regards to the domain names retrieved in web archives, etc.) but also to create public engagement with this topic (identifying the first web page in each country, the most represented twitter accounts in web archives, etc.).

Naissance et extension du réseau Internet

Du réseau ARPANET né dans le contexte de la guerre froide aux réseaux socio-numériques d’aujourd’hui, le développement des communications numériques en réseau a entraîné en cinquante ans des changements majeurs, que ce soit en termes d’usages et de services mais aussi d’utilisateurs, passés d’un public plutôt restreint et universitaire au grand public.

Book review: Die Geschichte einer atomisierten Diaspora

„Die auf Quellen aufbauende, flott und allgemeinverständlich geschriebene Monographie geht den verschiedenen Migrationsströmen und den Umwegen nach, auf denen Bürger und Bürgerinnen Russlands nach Luxemburg gekommen sind. Sie scheut auch nicht den kritischen Blick auf das Russentum. Sie analysiert einfühlsam und überzeugend.“

Radio-Feature "100 Jahre Ostbelgien" Folge 4: "sorties de guerre"

Zuerst die Angliederung an Belgien im Jahr 1920. Dann die Annexion durch Deutschland im Mai 1940. Und letztlich die Rückkehr in den belgischen Staat im Jahr 1945. Auch für die Menschen brachten diese Jahre zahlreiche Veränderungen mit sich: Was richtig gewesen war, konnte nach dem nächsten Wendepunkt falsch sein. Wer davor zur Elite gehörte, konnte nach dem nächsten Systemwechsel ausgeschlossen sein.

Olgierd Górka’s Polemics on the Contours of the Polish Nation (1933- 1955)

Olgierd Górka’s Polemics on the Contours of the Polish Nation (1933- 1955)

Olgierd Górka was a historian specialized in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe who took actively part in the political debate concerning the place of minorities in Poland. He occupied different roles in the public sphere and appeared to have insistently tried to embody the voice of politically marginalised citizens of Poland. Olgierd Górka argued for a strong link between the Polish state and its citizens as a precondition for their mutual survival.

Le malade global. De l’aile de la chauve-souris à l’aile d’avion. Esquisse d’une anthropologie du coronavirus

Le coronavirus a provoqué le confinement de la moitié de la population de la planète et bouscule drastiquement l’économie mondiale. En termes anthropologiques, deux caractéristiques l’ont aidé à avoir cette diffusion si fulgurante. La menace n’était initialement ni suffisamment visible ni suffisamment effrayante pour être stoppée net par l’instauration immédiate de politiques sanitaires adéquates dans tous les pays à la fois.

Activism on and off the bench: Pierre Pescatore and the law of integration

This article examines the life and career of Pierre Pescatore, one of the most prominent, but also controversial, promoters of European Community law. Drawing on extensive archive material, as well as interviews with relatives, it aims at understanding how and why he left such a strong footprint on the development of Community, later EU, law, both as a judge at the European Court of Justice and as a law scholar. Going beyond a one-man story, the article situates him in the broader
