Biographie(s) et historiographie(s) dans les cantons de l’Est belges pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Retour sur une expérience d’historiens

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.

CD-ROMs as connectors in the early development of the Web

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).

‘A trip organised for children is not a serious matter’? Summer treatment camps for the Belgian-German borderlands (1919-1939)

‘A trip organised for children is not a serious matter’? Summer treatment camps for the Belgian-German borderlands (1919-1939)

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.

Repercussions of draft evasion and desertion on Luxembourgish families during the Second World War - An analysis of wartime power dynamics and targeted repression

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.

"CD-ROMs in Print": Transmediality in Early Digital Culture

"CD-ROMs in Print": Transmediality in Early Digital Culture

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.
