When Historians Go Digital: Écrire l'histoire
Notas do episódio
This episode, in French, explores the changing craft of historians in the digital age through the book "Écrire l'Histoire: Gestes et expériences à l'ère numérique" and a conversation with historian and co-author of the book, Frédéric Clavert. It examines how smartphones, search engines, databases, online archives, social media and AI reshape research practices—reading, searching, annotating and writing history.
The discussion covers working with web archives and massive corpora like Twitter, the shift from finite collections to continual data streams, the emotional and methodological impact of digitization, and the emerging uses and challenges of AI and metadata for historical analysis.
