Data

This article investigates the opportunities and risks that the datafication of primary sources – i.e. not only their digitization but also their transformation into statistical material that can be tabulated – creates for the history of European integration. It uses cases of online digital libraries to show the consequences of digitization policy choices on the way historians can analyse these sources and, as a consequence, write history.

Public history constitutes a historical field, it includes several related journals, membership organisations, research centres, undergraduate and graduate programs all over the world. Most importantly, Public History has been marked by growing historiography and an increasing public interest in history. However, there is a lack of research on the most important constituent element of Public History, the ‘public’. The aim of this paper is to shed light on how Public History has approached the public in the last four decades.

Depuis trois décennies, les PECO sont devenus acteurs à part entière dans l’équation euro-atlantique. Ces dernières années - marquées par une série de crises, dont la pandémie du Covid-19 - ont fait surgir des dissonances profondes entre l’Est et l’Ouest en matière de liberté, de justice et de démocratie qui fragilisent le projet européen. Mais quelle est l’origine de cette incompréhension ? Comment se manifeste-t-elle ? Que faut-il faire pour la dissiper ? On tentera quelques éléments de réponse à ces questions légitimes.

"Organisé dans le cadre d’un projet soutenu par le GIS CollEx-Persée et porté par le Service Commun de Documentation de l’Université de Lille et la Bibliothèque nationale de France, le cycle d’ateliers du Réseau de Partenaires pour l’exploration et l’analyse de données numériques (ResPaDon) propose de

Seit 2016 ist Andreas Fickers Direktor des Luxemburg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH) an dessen Konzeption, Aufbau und Organisation er maßgeblich beteiligt war. Das C2DH hat in den wenigen Jahren seiner Existenz eine ungeheure Strahlkraft weit über den europäischen Raum hinaus erreicht und gilt hinsichtlich seiner Forschungsleistung und -kompetenz im Bereich der Digital- und der Public History als sogenannte Leuchtturm-Institution.

The series of measures, which helped to mitigate the short-term social and economic consequences of the crisis while paving the way for effective medium- and long-term strategies, entailed spending of approximately €2,050m. (an increase of 21.9% compared with 2019). In terms of structural improvements to SMEs, which underpin the Luxembourg economy, capital grants increased by €142.7m. compared with 2019, while investment expenditure rose by €301.8m. (26.2% higher than in 2019).

This work is about some of the philosophical problems that arise in the context of agent-based modeling. Agent-based models differ from other modeling techniques primarily in terms of the way they represent their target system. They are a comparatively novel kind of computer simulation and are used to investigate complex systems. In recent decades, agent-based models have been used in disciplines such as economics, archaeology, sociology, and ecology. Typical target systems of agent-based models include markets, foragers, opinion dynamics, and predator-prey interactions.

L'histoire architecturale du siège de la Banque Générale du Luxembourg (BGL), est intimement liée à l’histoire urbanistique de la ville de Luxembourg. Le choix du quartier, du boulevard ou de la rue dans lequel la Banque va s'implanter a toute sa signification et n’est pas dû au hasard. Les choix architecturaux, l’emplacement d’un siège deviennent-ils alors des éléments qui contribuent à façonner l'identité d'une banque ? Ou est-ce que les mutations urbaines et les évolutions du secteur bancaire influencent-elles le style de la construction ?

The article describes the difficulties of returning from Soviet captivity of the Luxembourgers who were drafted into the German Wehrmacht. On concrete examples, it is shown what was the path even of those young people into the German army who actively resisted the invaders and participated in the General Strike of 1942. The article also provides an overview of the possibilities in Soviet captivity for building survival mechanisms (learning the language, participating in the theater, writing poetry, songs and creating paintings).

The talk was focused on the academic activities around the international and interdisciplinary seminar at the University of Luxembourg "Russia and Luxembourg at the Crossroads of History"

The article provides an overview of the categories of forced workers from the USSR in Luxembourg during the Second World War. In particular, in addition to specific figures, selected biographies of both Soviet prisoners of war and civilian "Eastern workers" are given. The article treats their transportation from the Nazi-occupied Soviet territories, the life in a Luxembourger camp, living conditions, supply of clothes and shoes, food, working conditions and punishments. It also provides examples of the Luxembourg population sheltering prisoners who escaped from the camp.
