This article centres on a comparison of the persecution and dispossession of Jews and forcibly resettled Luxembourgish families, referred to as Abgesiedelte, during the Second World War in Luxembourg. It investigates how the German occupation authorities used the confiscation of property from these groups to foster a sense of allegiance to the German “people’s community” (Volksgemeinschaft) within the territory.

The history of the French-Luxembourgish border has been marked by the rapid growth of the iron and steel industry and the massive influx of immigrants coming to work in this cross-border industrial region. Employing a microhistorical lens and a relational approach, this doctoral research explores how border regimes were transgressed by everyday smuggling or subverted by Italian communist networks in the interwar years.

This article presents a project of collaborative translation into French of the English documentation of the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC CRM) version 7.1.2. This project uses and, in a way, hacks the distributed management software Git and the GitLab environment. The analysis is based on an ontogeny of the modified platform, using the concepts defined by Gilbert Simondon. These concepts describe the technical object through the process of individuation. The relationship with the platform produces reproducible processes and reusable objects.

Cette contribution emprunte les outils de la microhistoire et de l’histoire par le bas pour interroger l’expérience d’un individu confronté aux institutions de prise en charge des personnes vulnérables et à la marge dans la Belgique du XXème siècle. Par l’examen d’un corpus d’archives jusque-là inexploitées dans une recherche scientifique, cet article retrace ainsi le parcours de vie sur

Taking Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium as a starting point for a conversation about the epistemic virtues in the Digital Humanities, Andreas Fickers and Annie van den Oever discuss a rejection of the normative tradition of honing an ideal-typical definition of what makes “good science” in favor of an exploration in the phenomenological descriptive tradition of epistemic norms (values) as internalized by scientists. They reflect on the six epistemic virtues that could be instrumental in prompting

The rise of public history is the result of an unfolding technological-epistemological transformation. Gradual changes in media technologies, historiography, museology and museography until well into the 1970s can be considered as a pre-history of public history. During the last third of the twentieth century the rise of memory and related historiographical changes went hand in hand with an increased influence of analogue and digital media that impacted communication, documentation and preservation.

This presentation has explored the historical origins and the complexity of building a security policy at European Union level, as well as the major challenges in this area raised by the enlargement of the European Union to Central and Eastern Europe and the prospect of future enlargements to an even wider region (Moldova, Ukraine, the Western Balkans, etc.).

This chapter outlines the conceptual framework of the book and the variety of viewpoints related to the use of the notion of scale and zooming in digital history and humanities. The contributions included in the volume encompass different degrees of theoretical assumptions, practical insights and middle-ground reflections, symbolically expressed through the three conceptual levels: bird’s-eye view, overhead view and ground view.

After explaining why spatialities and temporalities, as well as platforms,matter in the historicization of virality, this chapter takes the Harlem Shake as acase study to demonstrate how a scalable and medium reading may allow to recon-struct past virality.

The lecture given by Dr Étienne Deschamps has offered a broad overview of the often little-known history of the European Parliament since it was founded, while also exploring historiographical issues and the availability of multilingual, multimedia sources and archives for both researchers and the general public.

This chapter proposes a method of text analysis that combines conceptual aspects from the model of scalable or zoomable text (z-text), topic modelling and fractal geometry.

n this chapter, we look at the commemorations of the end of the Second World War in France (May 8 ) and Italy (April 25) in 2020 when both countries were under strict lockdown. We try to understand what the pandemic has done to the online echoes of these commemorations.

Zoomland provides a systematic discussion on the epistemological dimensions, hermeneutic methods, empirical tools, and aesthetic logic pertaining to scale and its innovative possibilities residing in humanities-based approaches and digital technologies.

The presentation of Dr Jean-Jacques Rommes and the subsequently debate with the students was focused on one of the key areas of reflection and research at the Institut Grand-Ducal de Luxembourg. It has examined the characteristics of the historical development of the Luxembourg economy in a regional, European and international context and consider the main challenges and issues facing it in terms of openness to foreign markets, diversification, transformation and competitiveness, while also looking ahead to the future.
