Underground Histories: Border Transgression and Subversion in the Minette (1919-1939)

Underground Histories: Border Transgression and Subversion in the Minette (1919-1939)

The history of the French-Luxembourgish border has been marked by the rapid growth of the iron and steel industry and the massive influx of immigrants coming to work in this cross-border industrial region. Employing a microhistorical lens and a relational approach, this doctoral research explores how border regimes were transgressed by everyday smuggling or subverted by Italian communist networks in the interwar years.

Traduire collectivement l’ontologie formelle du CIDOC CRM en français sur la plateforme GitLab. Un projet sous le prisme simondonien d’un humanisme technologique

This article presents a project of collaborative translation into French of the English documentation of the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC CRM) version 7.1.2. This project uses and, in a way, hacks the distributed management software Git and the GitLab environment. The analysis is based on an ontogeny of the modified platform, using the concepts defined by Gilbert Simondon. These concepts describe the technical object through the process of individuation. The relationship with the platform produces reproducible processes and reusable objects.

Six Memos for the New Millennium : A Dialogue with Andreas Fickers on Epistemic Virtues in the Digital Humanities

Six Memos for the New Millennium : A Dialogue with Andreas Fickers on Epistemic Virtues in the Digital Humanities

Taking Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium as a starting point for a conversation about the epistemic virtues in the Digital Humanities, Andreas Fickers and Annie van den Oever discuss a rejection of the normative tradition of honing an ideal-typical definition of what makes “good science” in favor of an exploration in the phenomenological descriptive tradition of epistemic norms (values) as internalized by scientists. They reflect on the six epistemic virtues that could be instrumental in prompting

Pasts Revisited: The Rise of Public History through Epistemological and Technological Transformations.

Pasts Revisited: The Rise of Public History through Epistemological and Technological Transformations.

The rise of public history is the result of an unfolding technological-epistemological transformation. Gradual changes in media technologies, historiography, museology and museography until well into the 1970s can be considered as a pre-history of public history. During the last third of the twentieth century the rise of memory and related historiographical changes went hand in hand with an increased influence of analogue and digital media that impacted communication, documentation and preservation.

Introduction

Introduction

This chapter outlines the conceptual framework of the book and the variety of viewpoints related to the use of the notion of scale and zooming in digital history and humanities. The contributions included in the volume encompass different degrees of theoretical assumptions, practical insights and middle-ground reflections, symbolically expressed through the three conceptual levels: bird’s-eye view, overhead view and ground view.

Die Peripherie im Zentrum. Schule und Grenze im Europa der Zwischenkriegszeit

Die Peripherie im Zentrum. Schule und Grenze im Europa der Zwischenkriegszeit

Nach dem Versailler Vertrag sahen sich die europäischen Nationalstaaten mit der Herausforderung konfrontiert, in ihren neuen Grenzgebieten, in denen sich die Mitbürger und Mitbürgerinnen oft drastisch in religiösen, sprachlichen, kulturellen oder ethnischen Aspekten unterschieden, nationale Loyalität zu vermitteln. Die Peripherie im Zentrum vergleicht die Erfahrungen des Schulwesens in Oberschlesien in Polen und in Eupen, Sankt Vith und Malmedy in Belgien - Grenzregionen, die nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg vom Deutschen Reich abgetrennt wurden.

Traces et mémoires en devenir d’une pandémie (Italie et France)

Texte de prospective, cet article tente d’émettre des hypothèses sur une mémoire collective en devenir, celle des confinements français et italien du printemps 2020. En s’insérant dans le cadre des digital memory studies, les auteurs utilisent deux corpus comparables, l’un italophone et l’autre francophone, constitués de tweets contenant #coronavirus. Au travers d’une lecture distante des deux corpus, ils analysent les grands thèmes qui les traversent, afin de comparer les résultats obtenus et en comprendre les différences.
