Ce discours proposait un parcours historique au cœur de 50 ans d’invention et de ré-invention de l’Office des publications de l'Union Européenne, et ce à la croisée de l’histoire européenne et de l’histoire des réseaux et technologies numériques. L’Office est en effet un point d’observation privilégié de ces évolutions, qui bien sûr ne sont pas linéaires et connaissent des temps de doutes comme d’accélération.

Lecture by Andrew Prescott, Professor of Digital Humanities at the University of Glasgow, and exclusive interview for the C²DH’s ‘New Horizons’ lecture series.

This special issue, which includes a translation of part of the conclusion of Serres’ thesis on the emergence of ARPANET (a work which is relatively unknown in the English-speaking community), two original articles and two interviews, is linked to the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the ARPANET and the desire to reconsider, 50 years on, the birth of this heterogeneous network that has left such a deep mark on the history of data networks.

Wenn politische Interessen Länder und Menschen auseinandertreiben, müssen Letztere sich bemühen, zusammenzufinden. Ihren akademischen Beitrag dazu leisten die Universitäten von Luxemburg und Tambow. Interview mit Studierenden und Lehrenden des interdisziplinären Seminars "Russland und Luxemburg an den Kreuzungen der Geschichte".

The present study reports on the user experience (UX) of rich-prospect browsing, an emerging interface design trend for digital cultural heritage. Building on research that suggests online museum collections are used only infrequently by the general public, this study investigates the role of next-generation user interfaces in the design of optimal browsing experiences. Moreover, it describes the results of user testing for three different arts and culture collections that make use of rich-prospect.

Dieser Vortrag argumentiert für einen hybriden Ansatz der historischen Forschung, der "traditionelle" mit digitalen hermeneutischen Ansätzen in einer neuen geschichtswissenschaftlichen Praxis kombiniert. Da der "digital turn" den gesamten historische Forschungsprozess betrifft und verändert, ist dies eine dringende Herausforderung für alle Historiker, nicht nur für diejenigen, die an "big data" Projekten beteiligt sind. Tatsächlich ist Hybridität "the new normal", sowohl Chance als Herausforderung.

Ten cultural-historical case studies investigate how deaths in war were dealt with based on soldier graves of the Second World War. In this dissertation, the resting places of the fallen German soldiers offer a unique perspective in the evaluation of death during a violent conflict and in the post-war period. The examination frame extends from 1939 to the present and follows the reception and importance of the graves and the fallen in military, politics and society. Some single chapters of this thesis have been already published or are intended for publication.

Depuis le début du xxe siècle, notamment à l’occasion des coupes Gordon-Bennett (1900), c’est sous les projecteurs d’une presse cocardière, complice et friande de modernité technique que les constructeurs automobiles présentent, sur la scène européenne, les performances de leurs bolides. Au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale, alors que le parc automobile et les flux touristiques croissent de façon vertigineuse, les courses automobiles se multiplient.

Filant la métaphore culinaire, cet article interroge le « changement de régime » qu’entraîne le recours aux archives du Web.

Digital technologies may impact the practices of historians at every stages of their research, from retrieving archives, building a corpus to writing and editing. Digital tools have influenced spaces for scientific dialogue and free flow of ideas within the historians' community. As such, Digital Humanities are challenging the shaping of history, but they could also become an object of history. Therefore, we will analyse such an hybridization that may enrich our field of study.
