This book focuses on the history of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), from its origins in the mid-19th century to nowadays. ITU was the fi rst international organization ever and still plays a crucial role in managing global telecommunications today.

This study proposes an experimental method to trace the historical evolution of media discourse as a means to investigate the construction of collective meaning. Based on distributional semantics theory (Harris, 1954; Firth, 1957) and critical discourse theory (Wodak and Fairclough, 1997), it explores the value of merging two techniques widely employed to investigate language and meaning in two separate fields: neural word embeddings (computational linguistics) and the discourse-historical approach (DHA; Reisigl and Wodak, 2001) (applied linguistics).

The behavioural ecological approach to anthropology states that the density and distribution of resources determine optimal patterns of resource use and also sets its constraints to grouping, mobility and settlement choice. Central Place Foraging (CPF) models have been used for analysing foraging behaviours of hunter-gatherers and to draw a causal link from the volume of available resources in the environment to the mobility decisions of hunter-gatherers. In this study we propose a spatially explicit agent-based CPF mode. We

Entendant ici la « patrimonialisation » numérique comme un processus allant de la numérisation à l’usage large d’un ensemble photographique, cet article explique comment, de 2013 à 2015, le LabEx EHNE a projeté de transformer une série de boîtes de photographies sur plaques de verre en un corpus iconographique numérisé jouant un rôle dans un projet de recherche d’une part, mis à disposition à un public large d’autre part. Dans ce processus, le rôle des méthodologies et outils issus des Humanités numériques est fondamental.

Researchers have usually focused on the Tintin and Astérix series’ global book diffusion through translation. However, little has been discussed about the distribution policies of the comics magazine format, a key factor in the development of European comics. This paper will consider the continentalization of western European national comics industries via the intra-EEC networking of distribution channels during the 1960s.

In this workshop contribution, I present my post-doctoral study within the "Doing Experimental Media Archaeology" (DEMA) research project in which I examine the genealogy of home cinema and amateur moviemaking as early-twentieth century practices by means of a comparative, intermedial and experimental media archaeological approach.

« À quoi rêvent les hommes ? »… sur les murs des villes françaises s’affichent cette question et cette publicité pour le 3615 Ulla, lancé en 1987 par le groupe AGL. L’analyse des imaginaires du Minitel ne se réduit toutefois ni à ceux du Minitel rose, ni à l’imaginaire masculin. Bien sûr ces messageries dites conviviales ont contribué à nourrir l’image parfois sulfureuse du Minitel et sont devenues un des symboles des usages de la petite boîte beige.

Beginning in the 20th century, Luxembourg experienced several periods of transition. The largely agriculture-based economy became industrialized, driven by a powerful steel industry which remained the dominant sector from the immediate post-Second World War years to the mid-1970s. The country had a considerable competitive advantage in this respect owing to iron ore deposits in Luxembourg itself and in the neighbouring French region of Lorraine.
