Resiliente Technik an Laternen

Derzeit installiert ein Team der TU Darmstadt gemeinsam mit der Wissenschaftsstadt die im LOEWE-Zentrum emergenCITY entwickelten Heinerboxen: Sensorboxen, die auch ein Notfallnetz aufspannen können. Sie erfassen nicht nur Umweltdaten und Verkehr, sondern testen auch neue Wege der Krisenkommunikation. Damit verwandelt sich der Darmstädter Lichtenbergblock in ein Reallabor für Notfallkommunikation und nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung.

Der Fachbereich spricht seine Glückwünsche aus

On 9th July, Prof. Julianne Nyhan gave a lecture on “Mixed-methods Digital Oral History: Reflections on Limits, Horizons and Emerging Findings” as a part of the „Digital History“-Forschungskolloquiums.

It explores the possibilities and issues that attend the take-up of digital methods in oral history with particular focus on AI-based approaches. The first project, Mixed-Methods Digital Oral History, funded by the DFG-AHRC bilateral initiative, integrates Semantic Web and AI technologies with historical-interpretative analysis to better understand narratives of formation, disruption, and change in the history of computing in the humanities. The second, Multimodal Digital Oral History (Smyth, Nyhan, and Flinn 2023), develops methodologies and technical workflows for engaging with the full range of oral history modalities—transcripts, sound, waveforms, and metadata—across both retro-digitised and born-digital collections.

Der Tag mit Christian Stecker: Flexible Mehrheiten brauchen keine Brandmauer

HDSM is delighted to announce that the registration for the workshop “History of Digital History between East and West” is now open.

In histories of digital history, as in digital humanities in general, much emphasis has been placed on the two commonly recognized centers of the development of historical computing since the 1950s: the United States and Western Europe. As a result, crucial developments elsewhere have been overlooked, including in the Nordic countries as well as the Soviet Union and the various states of the Eastern bloc. This workshop will address blind spots by focusing attention on the question of how the local and the transnational intersected in the technology-inflected reshaping of historical research practices and how political backgrounds, contexts and constraints fed into this process.
