October 28, 2021 / Japan 21:00-23:00 / Germany 14:00-16:00 / US East 08:00-10:00 / US West 05:00-07:00

Speaker: Andreas FICKERS (Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History)
moderated by Harald KÜMMERLE (DIJ)

The presentation will focus on the interface between theory and practice, conceptual penetration and methodological reflection of historical scholarship in the digital age. It will discuss the tensions between a discipline based on 19th century methodological foundations and the radically changing knowledge economy of the 21st century. These tensions force historians to rethink and adapt central concepts and practices of thinking and doing history - including the question of the temporal regime of the digital which will be at the heart of this lecture.

This Web-Forum will be held in English, online (Zoom). Abstract, detailed information and registration on our website (https://dij.tokyo/temporal)
