The landscape in some parts of the Minett can be considered as a kind of palimpsest. For historians and archaeologists, a palimpsest is a writing medium, for example a parchment or a manuscript, that is used several times by erasing the previous writing.

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.
