Capturing Europe in Digital Sources: New Approaches for European Integration History?
Call for Papers 15th History of European Integration Research Society (HEIRS)
Over the last decades, calls to “provincialise” the historiography of Europe have shaped the historiographical debate and led to new perspectives on the history of European integration (Patel 2018, François and Serrier, 2017). Digital approaches might offer historians the opportunity to do just that. With the digitisation of historical materials, such as the press, historians may broaden the scope of the classical source corpus in European historiography, by relying for instance on keyword search and collecting an ample range of press articles dealing with Europe, as Florian Greiner did in 2014. To provide another example, Frédéric Clavert in his project UNSURE resorted to digitally born archives of newsgroups to analyse the discussions on Europe in the 1990s-2000s, to shed light on the opposition to the European integration outside of mass media. These examples display significant efforts to meet the challenges of European integration historiography and led us to invite young researchers and PhD students to share their research using digitised/digital sources or digital tools on European integration history: How can the digitisation of sources and digital tools help face the challenge of ‘capturing Europe’?

Mixed arbitral tribunals, 1919–1930
An experiment in the international adjudication of private rights
The creation of a system of Mixed Arbitral Tribunals (MATs) was a major contribution of the post-WWI peace treaties to the development of international adjudication. Numerically speaking, the 36 MATs were undoubtedly the busiest international courts of the interwar period. Taken together, they decided on more than 70,000 cases, mostly covering private rights. The MATs are similarly remarkable from a procedural point of view. First, their respective rules of procedure were so detailed that contemporaries described them as 'miniature civil procedure codes'. Second, in a departure from most other international courts and tribunals, they also allowed individuals whose rights were at stake to become involved in the proceedings before them.

100 years of universal suffrage in Luxembourg
2019 will mark the 100th anniversary of the introduction of universal suffrage in Luxembourg. On this occasion, the Chamber of Deputies and the National Museum of History and Art (MNHA) will organise a major exhibition on the historical background, the establishment of universal suffrage in 1919 and the consequences of the democratisation process of Luxembourg’s society. In this context, a scientific conference will be held. It will cover both the origins of the discussion on universal suffrage and the struggle surrounding its introduction in the Grand Duchy as well as its establishment in the years 1917-1919 and its effects in the following decades.

Governance - writing practices – codifications
Les XXe journées lotharingiennes constituent le colloque final du projet de recherche international ANR / FNR TRANSSCRIPT. Un demi-siècle après les trois colloques de la Reichenau édités par Hans Patze sous le titre de « Der deutsche Territorialstaat im 14. Jahrhundert », leur objectif est de revisiter, pour l’espace lotharingien et, à titre de comparaison, allemand et français, le concept de « principauté territoriale » / « Territorialstaat » dans une approche socio-culturelle du pouvoir, en mettant l'accent sur les pratiques de l'écrit aux XIIIe et XIVe siècles. Le colloque sera articulé autour de trois sections consacrées à l'étude de la langue des actes, celle des variétés documentaires et celle des diversités régionales. Le colloque sera placé sous le signe d’une réflexion transversale, la comparaison entre principautés et les échanges entre celles-ci.

Comparative approaches - sciences and literature
Ce cycle de séminaire est l’occasion de faire dialoguer humanités et sciences autour de ce que le concept de maternité implique tant au niveau des pratiques qu’à celui des représentations, de manière à déconstruire les discours traditionnels qui s’articulent autour de normalité / anormalité. Il s’agira d’explorer, au-delà de tout système d’opposition, les grands topoï liés à la maternité : le fait de donner naissance, la maternité à travers les âges, les corps des femmes et l’allaitement, la maternité et l’éthique, la violence des mères et l’homoparentalité féminine.

Psychiatry in the 19th and 20th centuries from a transnational perspective
In recent years the buzzword in historical research has been “transnational history”. Although over the past 15 years some historians have begun to integrate this perspective into the history of medicine and psychiatry, especially with respect to colonial history, this research area remains underdeveloped. It goes without saying that there have been transnational contacts and transfers of knowledge in the psychiatric field — translations of books, international conferences, correspondence, memberships in associations, international travel — but research on these processes remains rare. This raises the urgent question of how to approach research on psychiatric history with a transnational framework in mind.

Reading historical sources in the digital age
After the inaugural DHLU Symposium in 2009 that focused on "Contemporary history in the digital age" and a second edition which tackled the methodological and theoretical implications of considering websites as primary sources (March 2012), this third edition will focus on the use of online thematic research corpora. Given that more and more sources for contemporary history are being made available online as digital research corpora — as on the CVCE’s site — and following on from the first two editions which examined the methods used to develop these sources, this third edition of Digital Humanities Luxembourg will focus on the various ways in which this material is used by humanities researchers, particularly contemporary historians and more specifically specialists in European integration.
