TRIBUNE. Alors que le rachat de Twitter a mis au jour la fragilité des contenus uniquement numériques, l’historien Frédéric Clavert appelle, dans une tribune au « Monde », à créer des mécanismes citoyens d’archivage pour « préserver l’information de notre époque ».

Dr Ioana Cîrstocea presented and analysed with the students her last book entitled "Learning Gender after the Cold War. Contentious Feminisms" 'Palgrave Macmillan, 2022), which is dedicated at "decoding" the role of feminist politics and technocratic norms, expert discourses, activist repertoires and academic knowledge on women’s rights and gender equality after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The talk presents an overview of theoretical aspects, NLP techniques and LLOD formalisms for analysing and representing semantic change.

Kriege sind Räume unterschiedlicher Begegnungen und Handlungsfelder: sei es durch Menschen, die durch Flucht und Migration, durch Deportation oder Gefangenschaft gezwungen sind, ihre Länder zu verlassen, oder durch die Bewegungen von Soldaten. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs waren beispielsweise über 50 Millionen Soldaten auf dem Marsch.

Le Goût de l’archive à l’ère numérique est un projet co-dirigé par Caroline Muller et Frédéric Clavert. Livre en ligne écrit de manière collaborative, il entend interroger les routines numériques « discrètes » des historiens face à l’archive, y compris au moment de la constitution du corpus, et examiner les conséquences possibles pour l’écriture de l’histoire de cette introduction, tant logicielle que matérielle, de l’informatique dans les pratiques historiennes.

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.

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.

This special issue is the result of our second call for the Internet Histories Early Career Researcher Award. For the second time, in 2021, the journal Internet Histories has invited any interested early career researchers (masters students, doctoral students, and post-doctoral researchers) whose research focuses on the history of the Internet and/or the Web, and histories of digital cultures — or any historical topic within the scope of the Internet Histories journal, to apply for the award and to submit an original article.

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.
