Histoire de la Justice au Luxembourg (1795 à nos jours)
Financé par le Ministère de la Justice luxembourgeois, cet ouvrage représente la première synthèse de l'histoire de l'administration judiciaire au Luxembourg. Il est le fruit d'un travail de recherche et de documentation mené par la chercheure postdoc Vera Fritz et la doctorante Elisabeth Wingerter, sous la direction du professeur Denis Scuto, ainsi que d'études de différents spécialistes du droit et de son histoire. Par son analyse de l’évolution de l’organisation judiciaire de 1795 jusqu’à la réforme constitutionnelle des années 2000, l’ouvrage propose une contribution inédite à l’étude de la formation de l’Etat luxembourgeois. Au-delà des juridictions et de leur fonctionnement, il s’intéresse aussi à l’identité des magistrats et aux modalités de leur recrutement, la justice pénale et l’histoire des prisons, la justice en temps de guerre ainsi que l’impact du droit international et des juridictions européennes. Ses différentes contributions s’adressent aux historiens, juristes et professionnels du droit (personnel judiciaire, avocats, etc.), mais se veulent aussi accessibles au lecteur non-spécialisé.
Trading Zones of Digital History
Digital history is commonly argued to be positioned between the traditionally historical and the computational or digital. By studying digital history collaborations and the establishment of the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History, Kemman examines how digital history will impact historical scholarship. His analysis shows that digital history does not occupy a singular position between the digital and the historical. Instead, historians continuously move across this dimension, choosing or finding themselves in different positions as they construct different trading zones through cross-disciplinary engagement, negotiation of research goals and individual interests.
Jewish Studies in the Digital Age
As in all fields and disciplines of the humanities, Jewish Studies scholars find themselves confronted with the rapidly increasing availability of digital resources (data), new technologies to interrogate and analyze them (tools), and the question of how to critically engage with these developments. This volume discusses how the digital turn has affected the field of Jewish Studies. It explores the current state of the art and probes how digital developments can be harnessed to address the specific questions, challenges and problems that Jewish Studies scholars confront. In a field characterised by dispersed sources, and heterogeneous scripts and languages that speak to a multitude of cultur...
Digital Roots
As media environments and communication practices evolve over time, so do theoretical concepts. This book analyzes some of the most well-known and fiercely discussed concepts of the digital age from a historical perspective, showing how many of them have pre-digital roots and how they have changed and still are constantly changing in the digital era. Written by leading authors in media and communication studies, the chapters historicize 16 concepts that have become central in the digital media literature, focusing on three main areas. The first part, Technologies and Connections, historicises concepts like network, media convergence, multimedia, interactivity and artificial intelligence. The...
Ottonian Queenship
This is the first major study in English of the queens of the Ottonian dynasty (919-1024). The Ottonians were a family from Saxony who are often regarded as the founders of the medieval German kingdom. They were the most successful of all the dynasties to emerge from the wreckage of the pan-European Carolingian Empire after it disintegrated in 888, ruling as kings and emperors in Germany and Italy and exerting indirect hegemony in France and in Eastern Europe. It has long been noted by historians that Ottonian queens were peculiarly powerful - indeed, among the most powerful of the entire Middle Ages. Their reputations, particularly those of the empresses Theophanu (d. 991) and Adelheid (d. ...

Digitised Newspapers - a New Eldorado for Historians?

The Impact of War Experiences in Europe
This publication focuses on the impact of war experiences on non-German nationals serving in the Nazi German armed forces and labour organisations. This new research sheds light on the individuals and their biographies, exploring the tense situations in which they found themselves.. It was not just the individuals who were called up to the Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD), the Kriegshilfsdienst (KHD) and the Wehrmacht who were affected; families and communities at home also had to cope with and respond to the conscription of their sons, husbands and fathers. In some occupied regions cases, the families of deserters and men who went into hiding were resettled and saw their properties confiscated.In this context, adopting an actor-centred approach by focusing on ego-documents to observe individual experiences is key to understanding the diversity and heterogeneity of the war experiences of these men and women.
The Past Web
This book provides practical information about web archives, offers inspiring examples for web archivists, raises new challenges, and shares recent research results about access methods to explore information from the past preserved by web archives. The book is structured in six parts. Part 1 advocates for the importance of web archives to preserve our collective memory in the digital era, demonstrates the problem of web ephemera and shows how web archiving activities have been trying to address this challenge. Part 2 then focuses on different strategies for selecting web content to be preserved and on the media types that different web archives host. It provides an overview of efforts to ad...
