Abstract

Entre 2013 et 2023, un collectif d’historiens a publié une série de six volumes sur l’histoire de la Communauté germanophone de Belgique, entité fédérée dans l’Etat fédéral belge située à la frontière avec l’Allemagne, les Pays-Bas et le Luxembourg (1). Le volume 4, paru en 2019, traite de la période 1919-1945 qui comprend les trois changements de nationalité de 1919-20/1940/1944 du territoire alors connu sous la désignation d’Eupen-Malmedy entre l’Allemagne et la Belgique.

The contribution of CD-ROMs to the media and technology landscape is often overlooked, although it was highlighted in the fields of creativity (Lessard, 2018) and video gaming (Therrien, 2019). Their role as bridge technology is one aspect that has received little attention, while their impact was significant: CD-ROMs were pivotal connectors facilitating early Internet and Web access (Schafer, 2022).

Although the children whose rural homelands transitioned from German to Belgian state sovereignty following the First World War were not the typical demographic targeted for preventive air treatments against tuberculosis, they were overrepresented in treatment camps in both Belgium and Germany. Nation-state representatives provided public and private (although partly state subsidized) treatment camps to restore the physical vitality, ethical integrity, and national allegiances of the minors. The parallel competitive offer took the form of a cross-border mixed economy of child welfare.

This doctoral thesis examines the consequences of desertion and draft evasion on the families of Luxembourgish young men enrolled in the Reichsarbeitsdienst and Wehrmacht during the Second World War. It explores the repressive measures imposed on them by the Nazi authorities, focusing on the underlying mechanisms, ideological frameworks and objectives, as well as the roles and interactions of various power structures involved.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s an era of “new media” opened, full of the promises of multimedia, while databases emerged as the new “symbolic form” (Manovich, 2002), and interactivity turned into a buzzword. Our proposal revisits this history through one “transmedia” and “boundary” object: CD-ROMS in Print books. These catalogs of more than a thousand pages aimed to list, classify, and describe all available CD-ROMs of the time.

This presentation aims to explore key issues of web archives and social media analysis, drawing on findings and experience from the collective HIVI project (A History of Online Virality, hivi.uni.lu), which concluded in 2024. The focus is on the challenges, opportunities and limits that arise when using born- digital sources to trace the evolution of “Internet phenomena” over time. The presentation will first examine questions related to Sources and Corpora – specifically, the challenges of preservation and of
