A framework for the analysis of historical newsreels
Audiovisual news is a critical cultural phenomenon that has been influencing audience worldviews for more than a hundred years. To understand historical trends in multimodal audiovisual news, we need to explore them longitudinally using large sets of data. Despite promising developments in film history, computational video analysis, and other relevant fields, current research streams have limitations related to the scope of data used, the systema…
Soviet View of the World. Exploring Long-Term Visual Patterns in “Novosti dnia” Newsreel Journal (1945-1992)
Newsreels, short documentary news films, were an influential channel of mass communication and propaganda in the Soviet Union. They served as an important means of visualizing the world for audiences in the way the Soviet authorities wanted it to be depicted. Studies in Soviet visual culture have recognized both continuities of repeating patterns and changes in the post-World War II period. This understanding is based primarily on temporally limi…
Lajos Kossuth and the Transnational News
The scale of newspaper digitization and emergence of computational research methods has opened new opportunities for scholarship on the history of the press–as well as a new set of problems. Those problems compound for research that spans national as well as linguistic contexts. This article offers a novel methodological approach for confronting these challenges by synthesizing computational with conventional methods and working across a collabor…
Historian poliittisesta käytöstä 2000-luvulla
Historia ei ole tutkijoiden, opettajien ja museoiden sekä arkistojen asiantuntijoiden yksityisomaisuutta. Menneisyyttä muistellaan, selitetään ja käytetään yksityisessä ja julkisessa piirissä. Historiantutkimuksen tuloksia tulkitaan ja käytetään niin paikallisidentiteetin kuin fiktion raaka-aineena. Jotkut historian käytön tavat kuitenkin erottuvat muista suhteessaan tähän päivään ja yhteiskuntaan: historialla oikeutetaan tai selitetään tietynlai…
Suomalainen, ruotsalainen, normanni vai slaavi
Kysymykset kansakunnan alkuperästä ja roolista historiassa pohjautuvat 1800-luvun nationalistisiin historiantulkintoihin, ja ne elävät edelleen populaarissa historiakulttuurissa. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelemme, millaisia merkityksiä Rurikin alkuperälle annetaan suomen- ja venäjänkielisissä 2000-luvun verkkokeskusteluissa. Tutkimme mistä lähteistä tietoa ammennetaan ja millaisia ovat keskustelujen erot ja yhtäläisyydet. Tulkinnat Rurikin taustas…
Lab and Slack. Situated Research Practices in Digital Humanities - Introduction to the DHQ Special Issue
Although the concept of digital comes with an assumption of placelessness and detachment from physical space and geographical location, these matters still play a significant role in the way the digital humanities research is practiced today, and also in the future. The location, the surroundings and infrastructure open the questions of accessibility and equality: space shapes the opportunities for doing digital humanities research, both enables …
The Chili and Honey of Digital Humanities Research
This article examines digital humanities (DH) centers as focal points of the interdisciplinary transfer of knowledge. It is based on the assumption that the manner in which the knowledge-transfer activities of DH communities are facilitated affects the knowledge they produce. Following an analysis of eight semi-structured interviews of directors, researchers, and administrators, the article considers how DH professionals describe the facilitation…
Digital Histories
Historical scholarship is currently undergoing a digital turn. All historians have experienced this change in one way or another, by writing on word processors, applying quantitative methods on digitalized source materials, or using internet resources and digital tools. Digital Histories showcases this emerging wave of digital history research. It presents work by historians who – on their own or through collaborations with e.g. information techn…
Spreading News in 1904
The assassination of Nikolay Bobrikov, the Governor-General of Finland, on 16 June 1904 was a turning point in Finnish history. It was reported in hundreds, if not thousands, of newspapers worldwide. This article follows the spread of that news, particularly its spread over the first week after the assassination. The study draws on the digital newspaper repositories in Australia, Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Mexico, Sweden, the Net…
