Digital History. Konzepte, Methoden und Kritiken Digitaler Geschichtswissenschaft
Volume 6 in the C2DH series 'Studies in Digital History and Hermeneutics' published by De Gruyter Oldenburg.
Research and teaching in history have undergone profound changes within the scope of digitalization. This volume asks questions such as: What changes is digitalization making possible in the way that historical research is carried out and communicated today? What new objects, methods, and tools are available to researchers today and what research findings do they produce?
Doing experimental media archaeology: Theory
"Doing experimental media archaeology - Theory" by Andreas Fickers, Director of the C2DH Luxembourg; Annie van den Oever, Faculty of Arts, Arts Culture and Media, University Groningen.
This book offers a plea to take the materiality of media technologies and the sensorial and tacit dimensions of media use into account in the writing of the histories of media and technology. In short, it is a bold attempt to question media history from the perspective of an experimental media archaeology approach. It offers a systematic reflection on the value and function of hands-on experimentation in research and teaching.
Doing experimental media archaeology: Practice
"Doing experimental media archaeology - Practice" by Tim van der Heijden, Open University of the Netherlands; Aleksander Kolkowski, Science Museum, London.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of experimental approaches to the study of media histories and their cultures. Doing media archaeological experiments, such as historical re-enactments and hands-on simulations with media historical objects, helps us to explore and better understand the workings of past media technologies and their practices of use. By systematically refl ecting on the methodological underpinnings of experimental media archaeology as a relatively new approach in media historical research and teaching, this book aims to serve as a practical handbook for doing media archaeological experiments.

Maladies mentales et sociétés - XIXe - XXIe siècle
Les sciences humaines et la psychiatrie ont longtemps donné des maladies mentales une image de radicale altérité. Celles-ci ont pourtant joué un rôle constitutif dans les sociétés européennes contemporaines, à la fois expression d’une série de vulnérabilités médicales et sociales et représentation associée au génie et au crime, part honteuse de la famille bourgeoise et révélateur des désordres et des grands bouleversements sociaux. Cet ouvrage est à la fois une introduction à l’histoire des rapports de nos sociétés aux maladies mentales au cours des XIXe et XXe siècles et une synthèse des acquis historiographiques des quarante dernières années sur cette question, de l’histoire sociale et culturelle aux science and technology studies, en passant par l’histoire d’en bas et l’histoire matérielle. Organisé autour de quatre dimensions – espaces, savoirs, pratiques et expériences –, il montre comment les maladies mentales et leur traitement social ont été à la fois un reflet et un moteur de certaines des transformations de nos sociétés.

Repairing Technology - Fixing Society?
The first issue of the REPAIR fanzine explores the topic of repair practices and opportunities in Esch-sur-Alzette. The fanzine is based on interviews, archival research, hands-on experience, fieldwork and more. Anaïs Bloch contributed to the research and was responsible for the design. Anaïs has extensive experience in producing fanzines, having previously produced a series of fanzines on mobile phone repair shops in Switzerland. Although a fanzine typically refers to a non-professional, non-official publication, Anaïs’ work offers a more academic perspective. Yet with a mix of fieldwork and brief impressions, she maintains the ideal of the fanzine as a rapidly produced research output. With a combination of pictures, illustrations and textual elements, the final product reaches out to a broader audience interested in repair at large.
