Die Personenstandsaufnahme und das Vetorecht der Quellen. Teil 4: Überlegungen zur völkischen Politik

The "Personenstandsaufnahme" of 10 October 1941, a census conducted by the German occupier in Luxembourg with additional questions on nationality, mother tongue and ethnicity, is one of the best-known historical events in Luxembourg's contemporary history. Together with the strike against forced recruitment in August/September 1942, it remains an integral part of the culture of remembrance and historiography to this day.

Creating the Urban Citizen in Hamburg and Marseille: A Trans-Urban History of Public Urban Green Spaces during the Postwar Period (1945-1973)

Creating the Urban Citizen in Hamburg and Marseille: A Trans-Urban History of Public Urban Green Spaces during the Postwar Period (1945-1973)

This PhD project explores the ways in which public urban green spaces (PUGS) shaped an urban citizenry. As mirrors of societal relations, PUGS reflect the relationship between government officials, city planners and urban citizens, labor and recreation. Set in the aftermath of WWII and continuing until the First Oil Shock in 1973 this study captures a time of urban restructuring and rebuilding in Western Europe. The focus lies on public parks around the port areas of Hamburg and Marseille. Both cities are marked by the specific labor/lifestyle related to port cities: People are in flux.

Reassembling Marseille’s mosaic: urban planning in service of a post-World War II imagined identity

Reassembling Marseille’s mosaic: urban planning in service of a post-World War II imagined identity

Socio-spatial divisions between districts in the North and South have marked the port-city of Marseille since the post-World War II urban reconstruction period. This article analyses the decades spanning the 1940s to the 1960s Vieux Port area as well as the HLM (Habitation à Loyer Modéré, or rent controlled properties) building projects in the North of the city. This reveals a dual strategy deployed by urban planners as well as municipal and national government officials in response to an increasing immigrant workforce involving relocation into HLMs and (re-)designing public spaces.

What does the digitisation of cultural heritage offer historians and the public, and what do the politics of digital cultural heritage look like? We will first delve into different forms of cultural heritage digitization, from bottom-up community archiving to mass digitization and state-funded efforts.

Decolonizing Through Public History - Introduction

Decolonizing Through Public History - Introduction

Decolonization is the subject of an abundant literature, both as a historical event and as a contemporary process. In relations with the past, debates have risen about issues such as colonial monuments, museum collections, and repatriation. Rather than dealing with a specific type of space, institution, or material, this special issue in International Public History offers a discussion on the many links between decolonization and public history.

Hermeneutic Modeling of Detail in Textual Zoom and Literary Texts

Hermeneutic Modeling of Detail in Textual Zoom and Literary Texts

This chapter focuses on the dynamic nature of detail as an esthetic category and the hypothesis that interpretation in the digital medium encompasses a certain degree of modeling, understood in its double sense of building representations of objects and shaping figures in a plastic material.
