Seit Ende 2016 widmet sich das universitäre Forschungsprojekt VILLUX X in Zusammenarbeit mit der Stadt Luxemburg der Erstellung eines digitalen historischen Atlas. Dieser zeigt die städtische Entwicklung Luxemburgs seit Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts in Form von digitalen und interaktiven Karten. In mehreren Zeitschnitten ab den 1820er Jahren lassen sich die tiefgreifenden Wandlungsprozesse der Stadt und ihr Wachstum interaktiv nachvollziehen: Von der engen Festungsstadt des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur großflächigen, internationalen Metropole des 21. Jahrhunderts. Die Stadtentwicklung ist für diesen Zeitraum in vielen Bereichen noch immer wenig erforscht. Das überrascht, denn Luxemburg hat im Vergleich zu anderen europäischen Städten in den letzten 200 Jahren besonders tiefgreifende Veränderungsprozesse durchlaufen: Von einer mittelgroßen Festungsstadt der frühen Neuzeit, die sich erst nach 1867 von ihrem einengenden Militärkorsett befreien konnte, bis hin zu einer modernen europäischen Hauptstadt des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Dann, in der Nachkriegszeit, wurde die Stadt zu einem der drei Hauptverwaltungssitze der Europäischen Union. Und ab den 1970er Jahren entwickelte sie sich darüber hinaus zu einem internationalen Finanzzentrum. Heute ist Luxemburg zweifellos die wirtschaftlich, politisch und kulturell bedeutendste Stadt der Großregion mit einem ausgeprägten kosmopolitischen Flair. Ziel des Luxatlas-Projekts ist es, die Voraussetzungen und Merkmale dieser Entwicklung sowie die wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und politischen Rahmenbedingungen nachzuzeichnen und zu analysieren. Es sind vor allem raumbezogene Fragstellungen, die dabei in historischer Perspektive mit dem digitalen und interaktiven Stadtatlas in den Blick genommen werden. Der Atlas lässt sich in diesem Sinne definieren als eine Sammlung von Karten, Bildern und erläuternden Texten. Er bündelt und verknüpft relevante Daten von städtischen und nationalen Behörden und Kultureinrichtungen sowie auch von unterschiedlichen Forschungsdisziplinen wie Geschichte und Geographie und stellt diese in überarbeiteter Form den Nutzern zur Verfügung. Luxatlas.lu ermöglicht es, historische Veränderungsprozesse des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts diachron zu dokumentieren und gleichzeitig traditionelle Entwicklungsvorstellungen in Frage stellen. Zugleich etabliert er neue Methoden und Konzepte zur Standardisierung von Online-Karten und wird somit selbst zu einem Instrument zusätzlichen Erkenntnisgewinns für seine Nutzer. [less ▲]

Une blockchain (chaîne de blocs) est une application informatique qui utilise des techniques cryptographiques permettant à des entités de réaliser entre elles des opérations sans l'intervention d'un tiers de confiance (banques, notaires...). Les blockchains se répandent dans l'économie sous forme par exemple de nouvelles monnaies (bitcoins, ether...), mais aussi de contrats ou de certifications dans les assurances, dans les affaires (smart contracts), dans le droit... Ces technologies de rupture ne sont pas simples à comprendre que ce soit dans leur fonctionnement informatique (horodatage et immutabilité des blocs) ou dans leurs conséquences pour l'utilisateur (valeur de la preuve, recours possibles...). La meilleure façon d'aborder ce sujet complexe est de répondre point par point aux multiples questions que les utilisateurs potentiels se posent. [less ▲]

Gestorben wird immer. Das gilt auch für das Großherzogtum Luxemburg und seine Nachbarregionen. Doch was kommt danach? Wo und wie werden Verstorbene zur letzten Ruhe gebettet? Und handelt es sich dabei tatsächlich um die buchstäbliche »Ewige Ruhe«? Beileibe nicht. Tote gehen auf Reisen oder ziehen um – manchmal gleich mehrfach. Kein Wunder, dass der Tod und das »Danach« nicht nur die Religionen und die Rechtsprechung jahrhundertelang beschäftigten, sondern ebenfalls in Film, Literatur und Bildender Kunst ihren Niederschlag gefunden haben. Dieses Buch versammelt 49 Texte rund um die Themenkomplexe »Grabkunst«, »Der Tod im Bild«, »Der Tod in der Literatur«, »Glaube und Recht« sowie »Tote unterwegs« und gibt einen Überblick über Begräbnisse und Bestattungsgepflogenheiten von der Frühzeit bis heute, auch im Hinblick auf die verschiedenen Glaubensrichtungen und ihre spezifischen Riten.

"A contemporary history of Luxembourg in 70 chronicles" by Denis Scuto is a collection of 70 press chronicles, published from 2014 to 2019 in the Luxembourg newspaper Tageblatt. It is "public history" in the best sense of the word, because Denis Scuto as a professional historian intervenes directly in today's debates and enlightens them in a dazzling way by replacing them in the history of Luxembourg and Europe. It is a book aimed directly at the general public, which does not necessarily read scholarly works, but is interested in understanding the country in which it lives and works, with its indissolubly linked past and present. It is therefore a contemporary history because, over the course of the current debates commented by Denis Scuto, the essential elements of the construction of contemporary Luxembourg appear: the birth of the Grand Duchy as a nation-state, its hard learning of independence throughout the nineteenth century, political and social struggles, the consequences of the two world wars, its destiny as a country made of migratory flows, the upheaval of a rural country that became an industrial power and then a European and financial centre, etc. [less ▲]

The 50th anniversary of the death in 1967 of the famous music teacher, ethnomusicologist and composer Zoltán Kodály reminded us that another renowned music pedagogue, Leo Kestenberg (1882-1962), was born in the same year as Kodály. As such, the joint Kodály Kestenberg Conference provided a welcome opportunity not only to address aspects of music pedagogical and biographical research which had hitherto received a limited amount of attention, but also to highlight a number of key moments in history, and the resulting impact these had had on music pedagogy. The significant level of international interest which music educators showed in the Kodály Kestenberg Conference fulfilled the organisers' desire to create a forum for the free exchange ideas. It also enabled participants to review our commonalities and differences and to look beyond our individual national developments and evaluate the methods and concepts of two significant personalities in the history of musical education in the first half of the 20th century. The sheer diversity of historical and current topics in music education research both inside and outside of Europe, not only reflects the fact that in the 21st century, music education research has established and profiled itself in a wide range of sub-disciplines in addition to revealing new fields of inter-disciplinary research. The effectiveness of reforms initiated and implemented by Kodály and Kestenberg extend to the present day and continue to influence discussions around the future perspectives of music education. This is illustrated by the example of formal and informal learning in the field of elementary music pedagogy. The "Century of the Child" proclaimed in 1900 by the Swedish reform pedagogue Ellen Key (1849–1926) has left its mark on music education through reformers such as Kodály and Kestenberg into the 21st century. This conference book contains articles which are subdivided in five sub-categories: (1) The function of Music Education, (2) The Historical Era of Kodály and Kestenberg, (3) Learning and Instruction, (4) Assessment Technologies in Music Education and (5) Effects of Music Training. The contributors come from six different countries namely, Austria, England, Germany, Hungary, Israel and Luxembourg. The editors would like to record their thanks to both: (1) the Pedagogical Faculty of the John von Neumann University, Kecskemét and the dean Dr. Fülöp Tamás and the vice-dean Dr. Sági Norberta for hosting the conference, (2) the International Leo Kestenberg Society. The editors also acknowledge that this research is supported by EFOP-3.6.1- 16-2016-00006 “The development and enhancement of the research potential at John von Neumann University” project. The Project is supported by the Hungarian Government and co-financed by the European Social Fund.

Bien que le Web ait seulement trente ans, son patrimoine est déjà pléthorique : la fondation Internet Archive a collecté plus de 345 milliards de pages web depuis 1996. Cette fondation, qui fut l’un des pionniers de l’archivage du Web, n’est pas seule à préserver et collecter aujourd’hui ce patrimoine dit « nativement numérique ». Au cours des années 2000, plusieurs pays ont en effet lancé de tels archivages, souvent confiés aux bibliothèques nationales, et cette tendance ne cesse de s’affirmer depuis. Ces initiatives introduisent des ruptures : dans la notion même d’archive, mais aussi dans les pratiques des professionnels des bibliothèques et du patrimoine, tout comme dans celles des chercheurs. Cet ouvrage se propose d’initier le lecteur aux enjeux humains et techniques de l’archivage de la Toile, de la collecte à l’analyse en passant par la création et le partage de corpus ou encore le cadre législatif. Il étudie de manière pragmatique cet archivage, en essayant de rendre palpable à la fois sa fabrique (technique, institutionnelle, juridique), la relation que ses acteurs entretiennent avec les publics et les évolutions qu’ont connues les collectes en une vingtaine d’années. Ce livre s’intéresse également à la manière dont les archives du Web, outre leur rôle patrimonial, peuvent aujourd’hui être exploitées par différents acteurs, notamment à des fins de recherche.

Time is a crucial dimension in the application of any law. In tax law, however, where an environment characterized by rapid change on the national, European, and international levels complicates the provision of accurate legal advice, timing is particularly sensitive. This book is the first to analyse the relationship between time and three key areas of tax: treaties, EU law, and constitutional law issues, such as legal certainty and individual rights. The issues arising from the interplay of these various areas are analysed from a both academic and practical angle, providing important insights independent of the concrete national framework within which tax rules are applied.

Ubi servi erant? – Wo waren die Sklaven in der Antike? Die Antwort scheint auf der Hand zu liegen: Überall. Man findet Sklaven in den privaten Haushalten, in Handel, Handwerk und Verwaltung, im Kaiserhaus, in den Städten etc. Inschriften, Papyri, literarische und archäologische Zeugnisse sowie die Rechtsquellen belegen die weite Verbreitung der Sklaverei, so dass man für die griechische und römische Antike mit Fug und Recht von Sklavenhaltergesellschaften sprechen kann. Wie aber sahen die Sklaven aus? Hatten sie die Möglichkeit, Bilder von sich selbst zu überliefern? Wie haben die Herren sie wahrgenommen? Welche Funktion erfüllten die Bilder der Sklaven? Die Beiträge in diesem Band decken ein breites geographisches, chronologisches und thematisches Spektrum ab. Auf diesem Fundament und durch die kombinierte Auswertung einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Quellen gelingt es, die Ikonographie der Sklaven besser zu erfassen. [less ▲]

Since the early years of telegraphy, modernity at large generated and has depended upon technologies of electrical/electronic communication and information circulation: from telephone, radio, and television to the internet. This volume reveals these connecting technologies’ geopolitical importance and their crucial relationships with culture, commerce, and communities. Also the authors critically examine their spatial dimensions and transnational implications – as material objects with particular qualities, as elements in institutional complexes, and as ‘vehicles’ carrying complex symbolic meanings. Through in-depth assessments of critical, as well as mundane, events in the history of communications and information, these analyses will significantly alter conventional perspectives both on communications and on modern European history.

"Droit luxembourgeois et européen de l'asile" est un ouvrage collectif consacré à l'étude du droit de la protection internationale au Grand-Duché de Luxembourg. Fondé sur une analyse thématique de la légilsation pertinente, cet ouvrage apporte un éclairage critique des différentes étapes d'une demande de protection internatinale, de son dépôt par le candidat à l'asile à l'adoption d'une décision finale par le ministre compétent. Il est ainsi question d'aborder aussi bien les démarches antérieures et ultérieures à la décision ministérielle d'octroi ou de refus de la protection internationale comme celles relatives à l'accès aux conditions matérielles d'accueil, le droit à l'assistance judiciaire, la détermination de l'âge des jeunes candidats à l'asile, l'accès au marché du travail, les modalités liées au regroupement familial et le sort des déboutés. Le contentieux de la protection internationale fait également l'objet d'analyses approfondies. Cette étude est ainsi l'occasion de mettre en évidence l'évolution et les tensions rencontrées aussi bien dans la jurisprudence administrative luxembourgeoise que dans la jurisprudence européenne (CJUE) et internationale (CourEDH). La diversité des auteurs de cet ouvrage collectif (avocats, magistrats, chercheurs, administrations, ONG, psychologues) apporte une expertise interdisciplinaire permettant de mieux appréhender et questionner le droit de l'asile. Digiré par des chercheurs issus de la Faculté de Droit, d'Économie et de Finance de l'Université du Luxembourg, cet ouvrage collectif se révèlera un outil indispensable aussi bien pour les chercheurs, les praticiens du droit que pour les étudiants.

We describe the state of the Talmudic Logic project as of end of 2019. The Talmud is the most comprehensive and fundamental work of Jewish religious law, employing a large number of logical components centuries ahead of their time. In many cases the basic principles are not explicitly formulated, which makes it difficult to formalize and make available to the modern student of Logic. This project on Talmudic Logic, aims to present logical analysis of Talmudic reasoning using modern logical tools. We investigate principles of Talmudic Logic and publish a series of books, one book or more for each principle. http://www.collegepublications.co.uk/stl/ The series begins with the systematic analysis of Talmudic inference rules. The first book shows that we can present Talmudic reasoning intuitions as a systematic logical system basic to modern non-deductive reasoning, such as Argumentum A Fortiori, Abduction and Analogy. The second book offers a systematic common sense method for intuitively defining sets and claims that this method adequately models the Talmudic use of the rules Klal uPrat. These books also criticize modern Talmudic research methodology. Later books deal with additional topics like Deontic logic, and Temporal logic, Agency and processes in the Talmud and more. The aims of the project are two fold: 1. To import into the Talmudic study modern logical methods with a view to help understand complicated Talmudic passages, which otherwise cannot be addressed. 2. To export from the Talmud new logical principles which are innovative and useful to modern contemporary logic. [less ▲]

The role of political considerations in private international law In a traditional (and idealized) view of private international law, its rules are clearly separated from political considerations: they are essentially based on considerations of proximity and of foreseeability of the applicable law and of the competent courts. However, this conception has never corresponded perfectly to reality. Political considerations, as opposed to technical considerations, have their importance in private international law, in a dual form: the defence of public (or political) interests in a narrow sense, but also the definition by the legislatures and by the courts of policies which directly influence the solutions adopted by the rules of private international law. This is what the course tries to show, through explanations on the political implications of the major methodological choices of private international law; on the reflection in private international law of major political choices within a democratic or non-democratic society; and externalities such as foreign public law, the federal or supranational integration of States and, finally, the foreign relations of the forum State with third States.

With the benefit of hindsight, presenting the Treaty of Versailles as an example of ‘peace through law’ might seem like a provocation. And yet, the extreme variety and innovativeness of international procedural and substantial ‘experiments’ attempted as a result of the Treaty of Versailles and the other Paris Peace Treaties of 1919–1920 remain striking even today. While many of these ‘experiments’ had a lasting impact on international law and dispute settlement after the Second World War, and considerably broadened the very idea of ‘peace through law’, they have often disappeared from collective memories. Relying on both legal and historical research, this book provides a global overview of how the Paris Peace Treaties impacted on dispute resolution in the interwar period, both substantially and procedurally. The book’s accounts of several all-but-forgotten international tribunals and their case law include references to archival records and photographic illustrations. [less ▲]

Sixteen scholars from across the globe come together in Charles Dickens as an Agent of Change to show how Dickens was (and still is) the consummate change agent. His works, bursting with restless energy in the Inimitable's protean style, registered and commented on the ongoing changes in the Victorian world while the Victorians' fictional and factional worlds kept (and keep) changing. The essays from notable Dickens scholars—Malcolm Andrews, Matthias Bauer, Joel J. Brattin, Doris Feldmann, Herbert Foltinek, Robert Heaman, Michael Hollington, Bert Hornback, Norbert Lennartz, Chris Louttit, Jerome Meckier, Nancy Aycock Metz, David Paroissien, Christopher Pittard, and Robert Tracy—suggest the many ways in which the notion of change has found entry into and is negotiated in Dickens' works through four aspects: social change, political and ideological change, literary change, and cultural change. An afterword by the late Edgar Rosenberg adds a personal account of how Dickens changed the life of one eminent Dickensian. [less ▲]

Fabricating Modern Societies: Education, Bodies, and Minds in the Age of Steel, edited by Karin Priem and Frederik Herman, offers new interdisciplinary and transnational perspectives on the history of industrialization and societal transformation in early-twentieth-century Luxembourg. The individual chapters focus on how industrialists addressed a large array of challenges related to industrialization, borrowing and mixing ideas originating in domains such as corporate identity formation, mediatization, scientification, technological innovation, mechanization, capitalism, mass production, medicalization, educationalization, artistic production, and social utopia, while competing with other interest groups who pursued their own goals. The book looks at different focus areas of modernity, and analyzes how humans created, mediated, and interacted with the technospheres of modern societies. [less ▲]

In the aftermath of the financial crisis, the individual liability of senior managers has been rediscovered as an important element in effectively countering economic and financial crime. Mainstream enforcement practices against white-collar crime in recent years, focusing mostly on the legal entity or the low- and mid-level employees, have been largely unsuccessful. The punishment of large corporations for economic offences has indeed been confronted with the “too big to jail” dilemma, and with concerns for the negative spillovers that their collapse may entail for employees, shareholders and consumers. The individual “rogue employee”, on the other hand, may be fungible and easily sacrificed as a scapegoat. The recent debate has therefore brought back to centre-stage the individual liability of senior managers, which is essential to close any “responsibility gap”. But are the ordinary rules of criminal law fit and adequate to hold senior managers accountable? This volume, presenting the findings of a study led by the University of Luxembourg and co-financed by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), aims to contribute to this debate with a special focus on the liability of senior managers for the commission of offences against the financial interests of the EU. It compares the criminal liability regimes for senior managers in five Member States (Finland, France, Germany, The Netherlands and Poland) and delivers a set of policy recommendations for establishing the liability of senior managers in compliance with the general principles of criminal law and respect for fundamental rights.

The socio-discursive landscape surrounding the migration debate is characterised by a growing sense of crisis in both personal and collective identities. From this viewpoint, discourses about immigration are also always attempts at reconstructing the threatened ‘home identity’ of the respective host society. It is such attempts at reasserting identity-in-crisis (due to migration) that are the focus of the volume Migration and Media: Discourses about identities in crisis. This four-part book explores the representational strategies used to frame current migration debates as crises of identity, collective and individual. It features fourteen case-studies of varying sets of data including print media texts, TV broadcasts, online forums, politicians’ speeches, legal and administrative texts, and oral narratives, drawn from discourses in a range of languages – Croatian, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Spanish, and Ukrainian – , and it employs different discourse-analytical methods, such as Argumentation and Metaphor Analysis, Gendered Language Studies, Corpus-assisted Semantics and Pragmatics, and Proximization Theory. Such a diverse range of sources, languages, and approaches provides innovative methodological and theoretical analysis on migration and identity which will be of interest to scholars, students, and policy makers working in the fields of migration studies, media studies, identity studies, and social and public policy.

Deontic logic deals with obligation, permission and related normative concepts. This textbook introduces three frameworks that have dominated the landscape of deontic logic: monadic deontic logic, dyadic deontic logic, and input/output logic. It describes their language, semantics, proof theory, and gives soundness and completeness theorems. The addition of exercises makes the book ideal for self-study or as a textbook in class. Deontic logic remains neutral on application issues. Over the years, it has been applied in a variety of fields, including philosophy, ethics, linguistics, computer science, and the law. This textbook will serve as a valuable resource for students and researchers wishing to gain a practical understanding of deontic logic for use in their work. [less ▲]

The following report contains the results of the Luxembourgish Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study, which was conducted in the year 2014. The HBSC study is a cross-national survey study that collects data every four years in school classes across Europe, Asia and Canada. In Luxembourg, students from primary and secondary schools that teach according to the Luxembourgish curriculum were included in the study. This report contains the data of 7233 students aged 11 to 18 years old. The HBSC study inquires about a wide range of topics, including questions on subjective well-being, nutrition, physical activity, social relationships in- and outside of school, use of addictive substances and sexual behaviour. This report examines these topics mainly with regard to socio-demographic characteristics. With regards to gender, neither boys nor girls are at a clear disadvantage for the researched themes. The position of boys and girls depends on the theme, which means that for certain themes boys are at a disadvantage, whereas for other themes girls are at a disadvantage. Boys indicate higher rates of substance use (alcohol, tobacco and cannabis), higher rates of overweight and they watch more television than girls. However, girls report less physical activity, lower rates of breakfast consumption, more health complaints and lower life satisfaction compared to boys. For almost all the indicators examined, the 11-12-year-olds have the best scores and often the next group (13-14-year-olds) is already performing significantly worse. The only exception in this pattern was found for the variable of bullying: the older the students are, the less often they are victims of bullying. The age 12-13 is therefore considered a critical phase of life from a health perspective. Additionally, the social status of students is of relevance for their health. The large majority of indicators show that the higher the family affluence, the better the results reported by students. Students from the Fondamental are younger, and thus obtain better scores for the majority of indicators than the students from secondary schools. Within secondary schools, better scores are obtained by Secondaire classique students compared to Secondaire technique students. In the international comparison, Luxembourgish students are inconspicuous and often placed in the midfield with average scores. Compared to students in other countries, Luxembourgish students report to do more sports and they report fewer occasions of drunkenness in their life. However, Luxembourg obtained low scores for two indicators: Luxembourgish students have a high number of health complaints (e.g. pain, problems falling asleep, nervousness) and their life satisfaction is relatively low.

Cet ouvrage s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une histoire jeune et très contemporaine, celle d’Internet, du Web et des cultures numériques et explore leur fabrique dans les années 1990 en France. Cette recherche, à la croisée de l’histoire des médias, de l’histoire de l’innovation, et de l’histoire sociale et culturelle, reflète les apports d’une approche française de l’histoire d’Internet et du Web. Matérialité et infrastructures, temporalités et trajectoires, espaces et territoires traversent les cinq chapitres du livre. Ils apportent des arguments au choix d’une analyse nationale d’un phénomène pourtant transnational, en s’intéressant à l’attribution des noms de domaine et à la francophonie au sein de la Toile, à la transition entre la culture Minitel et celle du Web, ou encore à la place d’un État qui passe du volontarisme et du monopole des télécommunications à la dérégulation et aux imaginaires des autoroutes puis de la société de l’information. Explorant les pratiques, difficultés, tâtonnements de la période et le tournant grand public du Web, on croise au cours de cette navigation des informaticiens, des entrepreneurs, des politiques, des passionnés de science-fiction, des militants, autant d’acteurs qui se confrontent, débattent, co-construisent. Ils vous invitent à les suivre dans un chantier entre « cathédrale et bazar », pour reprendre Eric Raymond, dont l’exotisme mais aussi l’actualité des débats ne cessent de nous frapper. Bienvenue dans le Cyberespace des années 1990 ! [less ▲]
