Public history

Publication of a new book, edited by Karin Priem and Frederik Herman.

The C²DH offers several fellowships for visiting researchers: for PhD candidates, Post-Docs and Senior Researchers.

For the special issue of 'Encounters in Theory and History of Education' produced in collaboration with ISCHE (the International Standing Conference for the History of Education) and featuring a History of Education Salon initiative dedicated to international trends, absences and possible futures within History of Education, the guest editors of 'Encounters' launch a call for participation.

The C²DH has signed an agreement with the “European Capital of Culture Esch 2022” asbl (non-profit organisation) for the research project “Remixing Industrial Pasts in the Digital Age: Sounds, Images, Ecologies, Practices and Materialities in Space and Time”.

Penser l’histoire des médias ... le chemin historiographique et académique qu’elle a parcouru, mais aussi son actualité et ses perspectives, telles sont les ambitions relevées par la cinquantaine de contributions de ce livre.

De Gruyter is about to launch a new book series edited by Karin Priem (C²DH), Tim Allender (University of Sydney), Inés Dussel (Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute, Cinvestav, Mexico City) and Ian Grosvenor (University of Birmingham). The aim of the book series is to initiate and encourage debates and scholarly exchanges on images and films as complex material and social objects in the humanities and social sciences.

The Forum Z on Visualising History in the 1535 Creative Hub in Differdange opened up different perspectives to the challenges of visualising history in accessible, entertaining and interesting ways. With the musical support of C²DHs Douglas Lambert and a live translation into English and German the Forum Z covered a lot of ground, from history paintings to different forms of virtual reconstructions up to building a time machine.

Édité par le C²DH et la Fondation Robert Krieps, ce livre recueille les chroniques de l'historien Denis Scuto publiées de 2015 à 2019 au quotidien luxembourgeois "Tageblatt". Il est richement illustré de documents souvent inédits.

In September 2019, C²DH will launch the DEMA project which will provide a systematic reflection on the methodological underpinnings of experimental media archaeology as a practical and sensorial approach to media historiography.

My research sometimes leads me onto unexpected paths. My travel to Koblenz counts without doubt among them.
