        Subject: IHR Digital History seminar, London/online, January 7: Commemorating the Great War on Twitter

The conveners of the IHR Digital History Seminar are delighted to announce
our first seminar of 2020:
 Frédéric Clavert (Luxembourg) "Commemorating the Great War on Twitter"

From 2014 to 2018, many countries commemorated the Centenary of the First
World War. Compared to previous anniversaries of the Great War - notably
the 50th and 75th anniversaries - the media context of the Centenary was
quite new, marked by the emergence since the 2000s of social media and
especially social networks online such as Twitter or Facebook.

This seminar will present the results of research based on a corpus of more
than 9 millions tweets related to the Great War or its Centenary collected
from April 2014 to the end of November 2019 and will discuss how Twitter,
 and more generally social media, are reframing the ways in which we
commemorate the past.

Session chair: Tessa Hauswedell

Speaker biography 

Frédéric Clavert (@inactinique; https://twitter.com/inactinique/), 
assistant professor at C2DH @C2DH_LU, initially specialised in the 
history of the economic and monetary organisation of the European 
continent in the 20th century. He then turned to digital history,
looking in particular at artefacts of memories of the First World War and
its centenary on social media. His next research project will focus on
unsupervised online discussions among European citizens about the EU.
