My paper focuses on a key aspect: the circulation and diìusion of knowledge among transnational networks of computing historians, the ways in which these networks were constituted and their transformative inîuence on historical knowledge production.

En centrant son propos sur les archives numérisées et surtout nativement numériques, Valérie Schafer discutera trois enjeux liés à la question de l’attention. Tout d’abord elle interrogera les permanences et mutations de l’attention que le chercheur porte aux documents mais aussi aux données, notamment quand la lecture et l'analyse sont appuyés sur des outils computationnels et de lecture distante. Ces approches peuvent aussi renouveler les enjeux de représentativité, de participation, d’inclusion, ou encore influencer l’émotion et la curiosité suscitées par l’archive.

This monograph examines the interrelationship between politics and modernist architecture in interwar Belgium, focusing on political, architectural, and administrative elites as propagators of new ideas of governance. While Belgium was strongly influenced by neighbouring France and Germany, it also developed its own avant-garde approaches to socio-political problems. In the second half of the 1930s, the country was the scene of a remarkable political and architectural experiment involving an ambitious plan for the large-scale construction of modernist government office buildings.
