Digitale Geschichte und Historiographie

Debates on the role of museums and their place in society are not new. Though museums have become more visitor-oriented over the past decades, a lot of potential remains unused. In this blogpost, I would like to discuss how museums can be places of "shared authority" and public debate.

A distinguishing feature of DH is the collaboration between humanists and computational researchers. As part of my PhD research on digital history practices, I therefore am conducting an online survey to investigate the practices of collaboration. If you are part of a DH collaboration, I would like to kindly ask you to participate in the survey introduced in this blogpost.

Javier Mejia Cubillos (Los Andes University) presents his paper on the relationship between social networks and entrepreneurship.

The paper illustrates how interpretation is supported and shaped by metaphors embedded in an interface.

Sur son stand aux "Rendez-vous de l'histoire" début octobre à Blois, le C²DH a présenté ses principales activités de recherche en mettant l’accent notamment sur les trois axes thématiques suivants : l’histoire contemporaine du Luxembourg, l’historiographie numérique et l’histoire européenne.

A partir d’une étude de cas en histoire orale, la conférence porte sur la mesure dans laquelle le multimédia et l’analyse textométrique entraineraient (ou pas) des pistes novatrices de recherche.

Digital Media and Technology has transformed how we teach, learn and present. In a transferable skills training of the doctoral school here at university, Robert Reuter introduced us to new media and tools that can enhance teaching and learning. Based on the eight learning events defined by Leclercq and Poumay at the university of Liège, we came up with several online tools that can extend and enhance teaching and engage the students or audience.

Univers en perpétuelle expansion et au foisonnement chaotique, Internet offre un nombre incalculable d’outils, dont l’exploration paraît parfois hors de portée. Dans le paysage des sciences humaines, les blogs, les logiciels bibliographiques, les bases de données, les éditions en ligne et les wikis, tous ces objets qui éveillaient notre curiosité il y a une décennie, sont devenus aussi anodins qu’omniprésents. Mais comment bien s’en servir ?
