In the 1980s, two photographers were exploring the industrial region of Luxembourg by camera. Jos Rinaldi, a mechanical engineer/technician at ARBED, and Fred Bisenius, a social and cultural activist, were documenting the life, work, leisure and landscapes of the Minett. The Minettsmap offers us a glimpse of the past through the lens of their outstanding collection.

Based on original sources, this radio play is a recreation of a 1950s women’s radio show which offers us a glimpse into some of the typical issues facing women at the time. Our two presenters, Ketty and Catherine, comment on social and political themes mentioned in letters from female listeners living in the Minett. These themes include the call for pacifism during the Cold War as well as the lack of playgrounds for children in Esch. Our duo also offer some advice on culinary matters and household chores.

The aim of this guide is to provide a starting point for using web archives as a source for social science research. With the migration of many aspects of the so- cial world online, fundamental questions have been raised about how and even when social science research happens in the online sphere (Karpf, 2012). Web archives, or archives of content and communications from the Web through time, crucially provide the means for retrospectively studying dynamic media and online interactions that are often subject to change and deletion.

A very short introduction to migration of Lithuanians to Luxembourg in 1890-1940.

Crisis narratives shape public understanding and, consequently, the response to the crisis itself. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, when in February 2020 Italy was experiencing more cases than any other country, the Italian response to the crisis originated debates over how to best respond to the outbreak.

Linking large digitized newspaper corpora in different languages that have become available in national and state libraries opens up new possibilities for the computational analysis of patterns of information flow across national and linguistic boundaries. The significant contribution this article presents is to demonstrate how word vector models can be used to explore the way concepts have shifted in meaning over time, as they migrated across space, by comparing newspapers from different countries published between 1840 and 1914.

Landschafts- und Ortsnamen spielen als Bezugspunkte für die regionale Identität eine wichtige Rolle. Im Süden Luxemburgs haben sich diese Namen im Zusammenhang mit der industriellen Umgestaltung der Landschaft mehrfach geändert. Die Benennungen und Umbenennungen des Minett reflektieren die industrielle Entwicklung der Region. Dieser Aspekt der Geschichte des Minett ist in der Öffentlichkeit wenig bekannt; er verdient es, erzählt zu werden.

Le 10 janvier 1986, Martial Richoz est placé de force à l’hôpital psychiatrique de Cery, dans la banlieue de Lausanne. Ce jeune homme se promenait depuis plusieurs années avec un trolleybus en miniature dans les rues de sa ville, déguisé en chauffeur des transports lausannois. Son enfermement se transforme en affaire juridique, médiatique et politique. Ce moment est l’occasion pour Cristina Ferreira, Ludovic Maugué et Sandrine Maulini de retracer « une histoire des controverses psychiatriques...

Twitter et les médias sociaux n’ont pas bonne presse. Pourtant, cette réputation ne correspond pas ou qu’en partie à l’expérience qu’en ont maint-e-s chercheurs et chercheuses. Sur la base d’un corpus de tweets, nous soutiendrons dans cet article que le « Twitter académique » est un reflet des conditions matérielles de la recherche, permet une plus grande visibilité des chercheurs et chercheuses et en conséquence la formation de réseaux atypiques au regard de lieux plus classiques de socialisation universitaire.

The present doctoral thesis examines the strategies and redistributive effects of political purge in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg after World War II. It examines in detail the judicial and administrative purge of justice personnel, magistrates, police officers and gendarmerie corps members, and the development of law and order in the 20th century. This study treats regulated purge measures as phenomena of transitional justice.
