The European Observatory on memories is one of the case studies to be presented during this seminar, organized by HISMEDI in Madrid
The definitive explosion of informatics technologies, telematics networks, and multimedia resources have echoed in all subjects in the academic field. Their impact in historiography can be observed in theory as well as in the study object, methodological practices, narrative configurations, and in the form that results are presented. Newborn digital sources are being constantly added to digital historiographical sources, and these new formats need to be analyzed and interpreted with the use of new concepts, in some cases from other social sciences, and throughout the knowledge of informatic resources.
This seminar, directed by Matilde Eiroa and Juan Carlos Sánchez Illán, aims to make a reflection on the theoretical changes derived from this situation by formulating methodological practices that can contribute to the knowledge of research techniques in the framework of Digital History. The three sessions will highlight theory, methodology, and practical cases, gathering academics from the University Carlos III of Madrid, University of Valencia, University of Barcelona, the European University Institute, University Pompeu Fabra, the Autonomous University of Barcelona, University of Extremadura and University of Granada. The European Observatory on Memories will be presented by Jordi Guixé.
