Navigating Paradoxes in Digital Humanities
No full textInternational audienceSpeakers: Simon Dumas Primbault, Maciej Maryl, Ian Milligan, Helle Strandgaard Jensen, Arjun Sanyal, Jane Winters (Moderation by Valérie Schafer)As outlined in the call for papers, the field of digital humanities is marked by a shared aspiration to advocate and push for ethical, sustainable, and inclusive methodologies and approaches, articulated through manifestos, theoretical approaches, and concrete implementations within infrastructures, while it simultaneously grapples with a multitude of individual and collective paradoxes. They extend to various facets of DH, including accessibility and shareability of data, tool selection, team governance and credit, challenges of responsible openness, research dissemination, development, business models, sustainability, and uses of digital infrastructures, etc.To name but a few, here are some of the challenges at stake, pertaining respectively to infrastructural inadequacies, double bind, and apparent paradox: how to make platforms, databases, interactive repositories sustainable, while there are no dedicated fundings to maintenance and while their scientific relevance is jeopardized by short- and medium-term project-based funding schemes? How to open datasets, make them FAIR, and fully valorize interviewees’ involvement as an integral part of our research, while they are rightly increasingly protected by consent forms and data management plans? How to renegotiate the scientific criteria of open access platforms to make them more inclusive of epistemologies of the South and other forms of knowledge?These issues not only pertain to research practices but are also deeply intertwined with the broader research ecosystem and environment, encompassing relationships with publishers, libraries, funders, and career paths. In the realm of GLAM and cultural digital heritage for example, some paradoxes are also to be discussed: some digital heritage collections were originally conceived without foresight into the future engagement with computational methods. ML computational tools and techniques are used on these collections that were hardly meant for such usage, pushing their boundaries but potentially amplifying bias. Moreover, datasets, grounded in existing metadata, face the dual challenge of both enriching and saturating context. How does one navigate the dilemma of further contextualizing datasets when they are already tethered to a predefined metadata standard like EAD? Furthermore, should and could the FAIR data principles be at the vanguard in shaping the entire digitization pipeline and workflow? This roundtable will foster a reflective dialogue that delves into the achievements and limitations intrinsic to our approaches in DH, to better grasp but also discuss the ways we may bypass and surpass them.The composition of the roundtable offers various profiles and approaches, bringing together a librarian (Arjun Sanyal, Central University of Himachal Pradesh) and researchers (Simon Dumas Primbault - CNRS and EPFL, Maciej Maryl - Polish Academy of Sciences, Ian Milligan - University of Waterloo, Helle Strandgaard Jensen - Aarhus University, Jane Winters - University of London). The participants encompass a broad spectrum of expertise, ranging from colleagues deeply immersed in the intricacies of open science and research integrity within their institutions (Ian Milligan is Associate Vice-President, Research Oversight and Analysis at theUniversity of Waterloo, and the campus research integrity lead) to those operating at the European level (Maciej Maryl is the leader of OPERAS Innovation Lab, co-chair of DARIAH Digital Methods and Practices Observatory, a member of SSH Open Cluster Governing Board and DARIAH-PL Steering Board). The roundtable is adorned with the presence of colleagues developing and shaping research infrastructures (Ian Milligan was principal investigator of the Archives Unleashed project between 2017 and 2023; Maciej Maryl leads the OPERAS Innovation Lab), directors of laboratories specialized in digital humanities (Helle Strangaard Jensen is joint director at the Center for Digital History Aarhus; Maciej Maryl is the founding Director of the Digital Humanities Centre at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Science; Simon Dumas Primbault is coordinator of the OpenEdition Lab; Jane Winters is Director of the Digital Humanities Research Hub, School of Advanced Study) and colleagues dedicated to advancing knowledge in the field of DH, knowledge infrastructures and digital literacy (Simon Dumas Primbault holds the CNRS Junior Professorship in “Open Science in Human and Social Sciences” and was involved in a Unil/EPFL CROSS project - Collaborative Research On Science and Society; Jane Winters has (co-)led a range of digital projects and initiatives, including the new UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Association).The collective intention is to draw insights from these researchers at the crossroads of theory and practice, seeking to unravel the paradoxes they grapple with. As we embark on this discussion moderated by Valérie Schafer, the aim is to capture the multifaceted nature of the participants’ experiences, marked by a European lens but also enriched by perspectives from beyond the continent (with scholars from India, France, UK, Denmark, Canada, Luxembourg, and Poland).Discussions will first revolve around illustrating very concrete paradoxes, realities, that may challenge epistemic virtues, like recognition in the field of DH (and more generally in the academic field), limits of inclusiveness, existing asymmetries, epistemic (in)justice and social (in)equity, drawing from the practical experiences of these engaged researchers and librarians. It then aims to explore strategies for addressing and even creatively navigating or hacking these multifaceted constraints

Archives, Mismatches, Hacks! Overcoming Archival Boundaries in Transnational Research
No full textIn this article, I use my experiences in writing about the transnational history of Sesame Street to point toward ways forward for researchers interested in investigating entangled European broadcasting histories. I will point to places where I found European interconnections in journals, committees, and festivals and consider what the availability of these published and unpublished sources has meant for my inquiries. I will also explain how I used a specific content-management software (Tropy) to ‘hack’ and go beyond the national boundaries encoded in the archival collections I used. Finally, I suggest that perhaps it is not audiovisual material broadcasting archives first and foremost need to make available in digital formats if we want to further boundary-crossing television history; instead, I believe that the possibility of sharing self-digitized printed material should be a particular focus in the future
From Superman to social realism : children's media and Scandinavian childhood
No full textCan children's media be a source of education and empowerment? Or is the commercial media market a threat to their sense of social and democratic values? Such questions about the appropriateness children's media consumption have recurred in public debates throughout the twentieth century. 'From Superman to Social Realism' provides an exciting new approach to the study of children?s media and childhood history, drawing on the theories of cross-media consumption and transnational history. Based on extensive Scandinavian source material, it explores public debates about children's media between 1945 and 1985. Readers are taken on a fascinating journey through debates about superheroes in the 1950s, politicization of children's media in the 1960s, and about television and social realism in the 1980s. Arguments are firmly contextualized in Scandinavian childhood and welfare history, an approach that demonstrates why professional and political groups have perceived children's media as the key to the enculturation of future generations.-- Preface (by Buckingham, David);

La télévision scandinave pour enfants dans les années 1970 : une institutionnalisation du « 68 scandinave » ?
No full textDans cet article, l’auteure étudie la manière dont les unités de programmes jeunesse des chaînes scandinaves ont été influencées par le changements des normes dans les médias pour enfants intervenus autour de mai 68. Cette analyse est tributaire des nouveaux travaux sur le « 68 scandinave » qui ont montré que les institutions de cette zone avaient été très réceptives aux idées professées par la jeunesse en rébellion. L’auteure examine la façon dont les idées radicales sur la culture médiatique des enfants se sont frayées un chemin dans les institutions bien établies de radiotélédiffusion et se penche sur leur expression dans les textes politiques et, concrètement, dans les programmes. L’analyse se divise en trois parties. Tout d’abord, l’auteure procède à un examen de l’historiographie du « 68 scandinave » pour voir quelles idées ont été considérées comme importantes dans les mouvements de rébellion de la jeunesse des différents pays et comment elles peuvent être utilisées pour analyser les émissions de télévision pour enfants. Ensuite, elle analyse un des évènements majeurs du « 68 scandinave » en ce qui concerne les médias pour enfants : la publication de l’ouvrage de Gunilla Ambjörnsson, Trash Culture for Children (La culture poubelle pour enfants), et le symposium organisé au château d’Hässleby en 1969 par le Conseil Nordique, en réponse aux débats virulents provoqués par ce livre. Enfin, l’auteure étudie la manière dont les principaux points soulevés par le livre et le symposium subséquent firent leur chemin dans les unités de programmes jeunesse des chaînes nationales de Suède, de Norvège et du Danemark, ainsi que les politiques communes et les programmes co-produits par ces unités au sein de l’union nordique de radiotélédiffusion, Nordvision
