This study investigates the diachrony of the Italian expression non c’è problema ‘no problem’ when used as a response marker (e.g., Tottie 1991; Ward 2006) to establish if it represents a case of language change (Milroy, 1992: 171). If on the one hand, the expression was indeed reported to be a neologism by Radtke in 1990, a careful exploration of the relevant literature on the other has revealed that a diachronic, quantitative and pragmatic investigation of its distribution has not been conducted yet.

Computerized machines can be found in many forms and all around us - in our pockets, and even sometimes in our body. For many of us, they are now essential elements of everyday life. When it comes to smartphones, connected objects, medical digital devices and e-health, these digital tools have proliferated in our environment, continually transforming our modes of social organization. They act as prostheses and orthotics that "enhance" our cognitive capacities and influence our inherent behaviors.

Die Geschichtsschreibung über Eupen-Malmedy in der bewegten Zeit von 1914 bis 1950 spiegelt immer wieder den vorherrschenden politischen Zeitgeist: Sie bietet Annexionsliteratur, Rechtfertigungsschriften für die Annexion, pseudowissenschaftliche Kampfschriften, nationalistisch-aggressive Publikationen der Westforschung, nationalsozialistische Erlösungsliteratur, ein langes Schweigen, wissenschaftliche Fachliteratur, Betroffenheitsliteratur, eine lange Suche nach der eigenen Identität und eine Europäisierung und Professionalisierung der Geschichtsschreibung auf Grundlage der Menschenrechte.

La multiplication de sites ou plateformes web de plus en plus complexes collectant des données sur leurs utilisateurs, la place déterminante des moteurs de recherche et, surtout, de l’un d’entre eux en particulier, la croissance extraordinaire du rôle des réseaux sociaux numériques et la place qu’ils ont pris dans la vie d’une très grande partie de la population mondiale, ont donné lieu à la naissance de la notion protéiforme de Big Data, que l’on peut traduire sous le nom de données massives.

The focus of the article lies on the traditions of the current Russian diaspora to take care of the orthodox or soviet tombs and on how it shows the split of the Russian community.

Dieser Band reflektiert die Folgen des Wiener Kongresses für Westeuropa, insbesondere aus der Perspektive der europäischen Großregion Saarland-Lothringen-Luxemburg-Rheinland-Pfalz-Wallonie. Die territoriale und politische Neuordnung Europas wird aus regionalhistorischer Perspektive untersucht, ohne die transnationalen Dimensionen dieses komplexen Prozesses aus den Augen zu verlieren.

This paper looks at a specific set of corporate images, namely photographs of apprentices of the Luxembourg steel conglomerate ARBED, and analyzes how young workers are depicted in these images. The paper draws on a collection of 2,251 glass plate negatives (re)presenting ARBED’s industrial cosmos, including its vocational school the Institut Emile Metz. The roughly 160 images of apprentices contained in the collection put on display the apprentices’ bodies and a variety of activities in different contexts.

Alexandre Serres’ PhD, “Aux sources d’Internet: l’!emergence d’ARPANET” (“The origins of the Internet: the Emergence of ARPANET”), defended in 2000, is quite influential in Francophone research literature and discourse on Internet histories. However, yet untranslated, it has remained little known in Anglophone scholarly circles.
