French National Paths Within a Global Computing Market

French National Paths Within a Global Computing Market

In her book The radiance of France, Gabrielle Hecht has shown how France sought to carve out a distinctive role for itself by means of major technological projects (and especially nuclear power). She demonstrates how an American system was adapted in order to “make it French” and incorporate political and cultural issues. The same may be emphasized regarding computing in France: there was a desire to play a distinctive role in a market and field which were dominated by the USA.

Between marginal and mainstream. Communities and ecosystems at stake

The three research articles in this special issue and the interview with Ronda Hauben are partly the result of the 4th RESAW conference, that brought together through the RESAW network a community of researchers, web archivists and professionals, united around a common interest, namely web history and web archives. The 4th RESAW conference, organised on 17 and 18 June 2021 by the C2DH (Centre for contemporary and digital history) at the University of Luxembourg, sought to examine the tension between marginal and mainstream in web history, and to go beyond this binary view.

Le CD-Rom, une histoire à graver

Cet article aborde l’histoire du CD-Rom en France en le replaçant dans la famille des disques optiques qui se développent dans les années 1980-1990, dans la convergence entre médias et informatique, et souligne son rôle de chaînon manquant dans l’histoire du numérique, au moment où se joue aussi la transition entre Minitel et Web.

Préservation et distorsion : l’espace-temps des réseaux socio-numériques et du web archivé

Les données massives, ou Big Data, issues de sites Web et réseaux sociaux numériques sous la forme d’écrits, d’images, de vidéos ou de métadonnées, constituent des sources non négligeables pour les recherches actuelles ou futures en histoire culturelle. Ces traces numériques, collectées à l’initiative des chercheurs ou d’institutions, exigent des réflexions méthodologiques, de leur archivage à leur valorisation, dans le cadre de leur analyse à différentes échelles (scalable reading).

On the use of sì? (‘yes?’) as invariant follow-up in Italian: A historical corpus-based account of pragmatic language change

On the use of sì? (‘yes?’) as invariant follow-up in Italian: A historical corpus-based account of pragmatic language change

Follow-ups are elliptical interrogative forms typically constituting an utterance in their own right. They are used to signal attention to the interlocutor, to encourage them to continue or as a reply to a call. This paper investigates the invariant follow-up sì? (‘yes?’) in Italian and it argues that it represents a case of pragmatic language change. To this end, it investigates the diachronic distribution, collocation and contexts of usage of sì? in a variety of language sources in relation to plausible, equivalent expressions (i.e., dimmi and dica [‘tell me’]).

Roundtable : (Digital) Cultural Heritage at risk. Lessons learned for future preservation strategies

www.c2dh.uni.lu The Russian invasion of Ukraine on the 24th of February 2022 shattered long held beliefs and certainties including the idea that all things digital exist in an ephemeral sphere outside of the grim realities of the physical world. Instead, the war emphasized the fragility of servers,data and critical infrastructure to physical threats and their exposure to

Archiving and Oral History. Hands-On history: automated transcription.

In the context of the project “24.02.22, 5 am: Testimonies from the War”, one of the tasks in the process of creating a digital archive of testimonies is to transform the audio testimony into a transcript. We have important questions to consider when transcribing :Which way and type of tranсribing corresponds to our purpose? Which type of transcript will be most useful for your particular context? Ways to Transcribe Interviews Transcription can be done in several different ways: In the scientific literature, four main ways of transcription are distinguished.

This Hard Minett Land. Texte über Luxemburgs Süden, inspiriert von Bruce-Springsteen-Songs. Mit Illustrationen von Dan Altmann

This book is an invitation to a very special voyage of discovery through Luxembourg's south: around forty Luxembourgish, German, French, Italian, Belgian writers and historians have been inspired by Bruce Springsteen's songs and have written texts about the Luxembourg-Lorraine iron ore basin, "de Minett", and about those who live and have lived there, were born there or immigrated there, worked there, loved there, dreamed there, hoped, struggled, succeeded - or failed.

Wiener Juden und Jüdinnen in Luxemburg in den Jahren nach dem "Anschluss" 1938

Wiener Juden und Jüdinnen in Luxemburg in den Jahren nach dem "Anschluss" 1938

Am Tag des „Anschlusses“ Österreichs an das Deutsche Reich am 12. März 1938 lebten in Wien rund 170.000 nach den „Nürnberger Rassengesetzen“ als Juden kategorisierte Menschen. Es wurde von Tag zu Tag bedrohlicher und gefährlicher als jüdische Person in Wien zu verbleiben und durch Adolf Eichmanns „Zentralstelle für jüdische Auswanderung“ wurden die Betroffenen schrittweise ihrer Lebensgrundlage beraubt. Gleichzeitig gab es international zu diesem Zeitpunkt kaum noch Staaten, die bereit waren, eine größere Anzahl an jüdischen Flüchtlingen aufzunehmen.
