  Internet, Digital Data, Power and Rivalries in the Post-Soviet Area

  For more than a decade, Internet and digital networks have played a central part in most of the contemporary conflicts. Whether it deals with their storage, circulation, production or their manipulation (both literally and figuratively), digital data are being mobilized in a wide array of geopolitical crises and rivalries. Moreover, more numerous and diverse strategies are being developed to control these data as the ongoing datafication of society widens its reach into new areas of human activity. Computer piracy, the destruction of infrastructures and the manipulation of information have become tools in the hands of a growing number of actors willing to confirm or reverse a given geopolitical power relationship. The post-Soviet area constitutes a fertile ground for the deployment of such tactics and strategies of control. Disrupting the circulation networks, or the treatment and storage infrastructures of digital data, has progressively become a full-fledged strategy in the conflicts and rivalries that permeate this post-imperial space. As such, the struggle between several “imagined communities” (Anderson), grounded on diverging representations of memory, identity, and language, constitutes a powerful catalyzer of digital conflictuality.

  Elaborating tools for men

  Avec l’apport des technologies numériques, le travail en réseaux est aujourd’hui devenu une pratique inévitable de la recherche scientifique. Par définition, le réseau de médiévistes Ménestrel (Médiévistes sur le net : sources, travaux et références en ligne), pratique depuis sa création en 1995 la mise en relation des médiévistes de diverses communautés animés par la préoccupation de fournir, en ligne, un guide critique des ressources disponibles pour la médiévistique en France et dans les pays partenaires du réseau. Cette journée d'études est consacrée aux ressources Internet en matière de manuscrits et de bibliothèques en Pologne et en France, organisée à l'occasion de l'Assemblée générale du réseau de médiévistes « Ménestrel ».
