Doing Digital Film History
How has the digital turn shaped the practices of film historical research and teaching? While computational approaches have been used by film historians since the 1960s and 1970s, the arrival and use of digital tools and methods in recent decades has fundamentally changed the ways we search, analyze, interpret, present, and so think and write about film history – from digital archival and curatorial practices, data-driven search, and analysis of film historical collections to the visualization and dissemination of film historical materials online. While film historians have increasingly embraced the new possibilities brought by digital technologies, their practical, epistemological, and me...
Return and Circular Migration in Contemporary European History
Migration is often viewed as a one-way process, from the country of origin to the place of arrival, but recent academic research shows that this presumption is fundamentally flawed. Migration has always been characterized by return movements, as a glance into history reveals – from transatlantic returns in the 19th century to the back-and-forth of migrant workers and refugees in the 20th century, and numerous other forced and voluntary migrations. This volume invites to reconceptualize studies in migration history by shifting away from the focus on “going away” to a more complex one revolving around a plurality of issues of leaving, returning, moving on and traveling again, belonging and fluid identities in “third spaces”. Structured in three parts, the contributions in this volume shed light on the close connection between power dynamics and return migration as well as how migration processes shape individual planning abilities, social relationships, and complex spatial dynamics.The methodological part of the volume further encourages readers to reflect on growing data collections and possibilities for digital research on return migration.
Vagabunden
Armut hat viele Gesichter, und ebenso tritt Mobilität in vielen Gestalten auf – von gesellschaftlich hoch geschätzten bis hin zu kriminalisierten. Als besonders problematisch galten in Europa spätestens seit dem ausgehenden Mittelalter soziale Gruppen, in denen sich Armut mit Mobilität verband: Menschen, die mittellos über die Straßen, von Haus zu Haus, von Ort zu Ort wanderten und sich ihren Lebensunterhalt durch das Bitten um milde Gaben zu sichern versuchten. Obwohl in der Historiographie vorrangig mit der Frühen Neuzeit assoziiert, verschwanden das Betteln und Vagabundieren an der Schwelle zur Moderne keineswegs. Vielmehr erlebten diese Armutsphänomene während der krisenanfäl...
Digital History and Hermeneutics
As a result of rapid advancements in computer science during recent decades, there has been an increased use of digital tools, methodologies and sources in the field of digital humanities. While opening up new opportunities for scholarship, many digital methods and tools now used for humanities research have nevertheless been developed by computer or data sciences and thus require a critical understanding of their mode of operation and functionality. The novel field of digital hermeneutics is meant to provide such a critical and reflexive frame for digital humanities research by acquiring digital literacy and skills. A new knowledge for the assessment of digital data, research infrastructure...
