This video documents the authors’ journey back to the origins of transnational television in Europe. Inspired by the idea of experimental media archaeology (EMA), the trip to original locations of the transnational media event known as ‘Paris-week’ in 1952 illustrates a new approach to media historiography, which aims to sensitize television historians for the material remains, topography and physical spaces of early television transmissions. Readers /viewers are invited to watch the different episodes of the authors’ journey by clicking on the figures.

The connection between settlement sites and water bodies has been the most prominent characteristic of the Stone Age settlement patterns in North-Eastern Europe. Geologist and archaeologist Constantin Grewingk stated already in 1865 that in the Eastern Baltic region “Stone Age people lived by the sea and rivers”. Although there was no empirical data at that time, the following discoveries confirmed this claim.

A multitude of devices and technological tools now exist to make, share, and store memories and moments with family, friends, and even strangers. Memory practices such as home movies, which originated as the privilege of a few, well-to-do families, have now emerged as ubiquitous and immediate cultures of sharing. Departing from the history of home movies, this volume offers a sophisticated understanding of technologically mediated, mostly ritualized memory practices, from early beginnings in the fin-de-siècle to today.

Die Auseinandersetzung mit der nationalsozialistischen Vergangenheit deutscher Behörden war lange Zeit ein Forschungsdesiderat.

« [P]arce que le Web est un média de “traces”, son archivage ne peut que répondre aux préoccupations ontologiques de l’historien qui s’appuie sur l’ensemble des traces héritées du passé pour les constituer en documents afin de les interroger », notait en 2012 Claude Mussou, alors responsable du dépôt légal du Web à l’Institut national de l’audiovisuel.

Von ihrer Gründung in den letzten Kriegsmonaten 1918 bis zu Ihrem Ende in den 1970er Jahren war Le Flambeau die dominierende politische und literarische Zeitschrift des belgischen frankophonen Liberalismus. Ihre Verankerung in einem Brüsseler Mikrokosmos um die Freie Universität Brüssel, die jüdische Gemeinschaft und die lokale Sektion der Liberalen Partei und eine unerschütterliche Frankophilie waren die wichtigsten Charakteristiken des Blattes.

Drawing on archives gathered in the six founding member states of the European Union, this book offers a new perspective on the "constitutionalization" of the European treaties, which was launched in the 1960s by the Court of Justice of the EU. By highlighting the professional and personal backgrounds of the first European judges and advocates general, its author studies the dynamics which prevailed within the institution during its "revolutionary" years and analyzes the Court’s relationship with the Member States of the European Communities.

Que faire des fous ? Les enfermer, les éloigner, les soigner ? Sur les bords de Seine comme ailleurs, les réponses ont varié dans l’histoire suivant la compréhension des pathologies mentales et la capacité d’y apporter des soins.

This chapter introduces the concept of experimental media archaeology and asks how hands-on experiments with old media technologies allow to grasp the meaning of past media practices.
