Dans la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle, le Grand-Duché de Luxembourg devient membre de deux organismes multilatéraux des (télé)communications, à savoir l’Union télégraphique internationale (UIT) et l’Union postale générale (UPU). Y siègent, non pas des diplomates, peu actifs dans un pays soumis, depuis le traité de Londres de 1867, à un statut de neutralité perpétuelle et désarmée, mais des représentants de l’administration des postes et des télégraphes.

Lecture by Prof. Dr. Steven E. Jones, University of South Florida, and exclusive interview for the C²DH’s ‘New Horizons’ lecture series.

Dès la fin du xixe siècle, l’espace européen est le cadre d’un développement précoce des échanges sportifs et tient un rôle pionnier dans l’organisation internationale des sports. L’homogénéisation des pratiques et la mise en place de compétitions continentales, processus commencé dans l’entre-deux-guerres et qui se renforce après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, a comme effet la constitution d’un espace sportif européen.

Oral History is a multidisciplinary, multinational field based on a format of recorded, usually sit-down interviews, where the past is documented through personal narratives of life experience. In the early 2000’s, a new approach to processing and managing oral histories was introduced based on timecode indexing made possible by software environments.

In this interview, Professor Steven Jones talks about his career and training in textual studies. Because of his specific interest in the materiality of texts in archives, he soon became interested in the relationship of the physical and the digital as a theoretical problem and methodological issue. He then talks about the myth of Roberto Busa as “founding father of digital humanities” which he sets out to complement with history.

Our research, among others, attempts to find answers to the questions: How Luxembourg administration dealt with Jewish refugees who had lost their citizenship arriving to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg from the East.

La naissance d'Arpanet en contexte Après être revenue sur la naissance du réseau dans les années qui précèdent directement la première connexion et les évènements de 1969 au sein du projet, cette intervention élargira le regard en amont (les réseaux avant Arpanet, les racines du temps partagé, etc.) et en aval (filiation et valeurs d'Internet qui sont célébrées à travers Arpanet).

The novel With Fire and Sword by Henry Sienkiewicz (1846–1916) is an example of the interweaving of fiction, historiography and national collective imagination. It was written at the end of the period of Polish partition (1882–1888) and deals with events that marked the history and the collective imaginations of Poles, Ukrainians and Jews: the history of the Khmel’nyts’kyy Uprising (1648–1657). The epic nature of these historical events already carried the seeds of a powerful and emotional narrative that lends itself to mythicization.

The Oxford English Dictionary states that originally, a mainframe only defined the central processing unit and primary memory of a computer, whereas now a mainframe describes any large or general-purpose computer, specifically supporting numerous peripherals or subordinate computers. The IBM System/360, announced in 1964 and first installed at around 1967, consists of a collection of peripherals that can be connected to any central processing unit in the system family.
