In den langen 1960er Jahren finden sich auf der Schueberfouer Einflüsse kultureller Transfers und Elemente, die die Attraktivität des Jahrmarkts steigern sollten. In diesem Vortrag sollen diese Transfers und Elemente anhand von zwei Aspekten näher beleuchtet werden. Zudem wird ein Überblick über den aktuellen Stand meiner Forschung und die Forschungsfragen gegeben.

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.

Numerous studies and handbooks in the history of education are devoted to the history of educational media and the evolution of educational technologies. This chapter puts an explicit focus on the implications and conceptual background of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization´s (UNESCO) technology-driven idea of education, which already took shape before the 1957 Sputnik shock.

The conceptions of Belgium that lie behind the demands of German-speaking Belgians for the expansion of their autonomy have not yet come into the focus of historical and political science research. What future do they associate with the Belgian state when they claim a community-region or a ‘Belgium of four’? This article attempts to approach this question by analysing four regimes of fear that determine East Belgian discourses: Fear of the past, fear of minorities, fear of being overwhelmed and fear of disintegration.

Durant la seconde moitié du vingtième siècle, il a été souvent écrit que les activités d’orpaillage de l’Ardenne belge remontaient au second âge du Fer. Cette attribution chronologique ne repose en réalité sur aucune observation scientifiquement démontrée. Par contre, une récente étude cartographique a mis en évidence la superposition des limites alto médiévales du domaine de l’abbaye de Stavelot Malmedy avec les tracés des ruisseaux aurifères du massif de Stavelot.

1972 veröffentlichte der Club of Rome in seinen „Grenzen des Wachstums“ düstere Visionen für die Zukunft des Planeten Erde. Das neuentdeckte Bewusstsein für das Thema Natur und Umweltschutz fand auch in Ostbelgien seinen Widerhall: Anti-Atomkraft-Bewegung, Müllentsorgung, Grüne Bewegung, Tierschutz, Renaturierung, Biohöfe und erneuerbare Energien entwickelten sich ab diesem Jahrzehnt auch in Ostbelgien ganz allmählich zu Phänomenen mit gesellschaftlicher Bedeutung.

Text Reuse reveals meaningful reiterations of text in large corpora. Humanities researchers use text reuse to study, e.g., the posterior reception of influential texts or to reveal evolving publication practices of historical media. This research is often supported by interactive visualizations which highlight relations and differences between text segments. In this paper, we build on earlier work in this domain.

In 1984, the German literature scholar Hannes Schwenger wrote that “it cannot take long before the first museum on offices opens its doors – probably before the turn of the millennium”. Schwenger drew a parallel with 19th-century factory complexes, which were (by the mid-1980s) gradually becoming museum-worthy due to the ongoing deindustrialization in Western countries.

In this article, we are dealing with human trafficking for reasons of labor exploitation. For us, it is important to look at the historicity of the reality of unfree labor, which for Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa, mostly means its connection to chattel slavery, the illegalization of unfree labor, and the development of the legal term of human trafficking and the introduction of laws against it. In looking at where today’s legal, social, and political reality is coming from, we are also able to deepen our critique of today’s law and its application.

Am 23. Oktober 1973 wurde mit dem Rat der deutschen Kulturgemeinschaft die erste parlamentarische Versammlung für die deutschsprachige Minderheit in Belgien eingesetzt. Die Entwicklung des Landes vom Einheitsstaat zum Föderalstaat brachte den Bewohnern an der belgisch-deutschen Grenze eine politische Autonomie, die sich über fünf Jahrzehnte auf fast alle Lebensbereiche ausbreitete.
