This paper is related to my current book project which explores the history and genealogies of digital history, set within the broader context of the ways in which technology has shaped historical research practices and knowledge production since the late 19th century. My paper focuses on a key aspect, the circulation of technological knowledge and expertise among transnational networks of historians, archivists, and librarians, the ways in which these networks were constituted and their transformative influence on historical knowledge production.

Kennzeichnend für die «langen» 1960er Jahre in Westeuropa ist aus konsumhistorischer Sicht die enorme Dynamik der Entwicklung des Massenkonsums. Der Verkäufermarkt der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit wurde ab Ende der 1950er Jahre durch eine verschärfte Konkurrenzsituation abgelöst, im Zuge derer Konsumgüterproduzenten statt der Produktion den Verbraucher und seine Wünsche ins Zentrum ihrer Überlegungen zu rücken suchten. Das führte zu einer zunehmenden Verbreitung des Marketingkonzepts, auch unter Produzenten elektrotechnischer Konsumgüter wie Braun oder Telefunken.

The starting points of the presentation consist of some examples of answers, in text and image, generated by chatbots such as ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion, to questions such as: Could you give us a short history of artificial intelligence, from the beginning to the present? Could you generate an image to represent the history of artificial intelligence?

Le 8 mai dernier, Emmanuel Macron se tenait seul au bout d’une avenue vidée, de peur d’une possible casserolade. Cette image marquante nous rappelle à considérer les commémorations comme des enjeux politiques de premier ordre, renvoyant toujours à un état des relations entre État, pouvoir et citoyens, y compris dans ce que ce lien peut avoir de plus conflictuel. Il en ira des mêmes enjeux pour la commémoration, ce 11 novembre, des 105 ans de l’armistice de 1918.

This presentation aimed at reflecting on the history of vernacular digital cultures and their historical approach through web archives. It relied on the experience of the Hivi project (A history of Online Virality) and notably the historical study of memes we conducted. This led to envisioning some desirable futures in approaching vernacular digital cultures (issues of access, inclusiveness, role of visual and sound studies, readability of web archives ,etc.)

This lightening talk is part of the panel "Teaching history of technology: experiments, innovative methods, and approaches". It aims to discuss the experiment Prof. Schafer conducted over 14 weeks with her master students in creating a Living Book intertwining sources and research articles on the topic “Women, Gender and ICTs”.

Luxembourg is a de facto multicultural country, with 179 different nationalities represented. It is, however, complex to identify who among the latter is perceived as an immigrant by public opinion. In the same vein, immigration stories rarely make the headlines of some of the most prominent outlets of Luxembourg’s mainstream media. This study covers the print content of some of Luxembourg’s dominant media outlets in the search for the representation of (im)migrants and refugees.

The military offensive launched by the Russian Federation against Ukraine in the early hours of 24 February 2022 and the ensuing war on Ukrainian territory have resulted in immense human suffering, a humanitarian tragedy and incalculable material damage.

La mise à disposition pour la recherche de données issues du Web archivé correspond à une tendance engagée au sein des institutions patrimoniales depuis les années 2010. Elle se matérialise à l’échelle européenne puis internationale de manière assez inédite à la faveur d’une étude sur l’archivage des traces numériques de la crise de la COVID-19 à partir de 2020.

The article deals with data wrangling in a multilingual collection intended for diachronic analysis and linguistic linked open data modelling for tracing concept change over time.
