Our research focused on queer people's experiences on the online dating applications Tinder and HER. We were looking to understand how these dating apps contributed to reinforcing heterosexual cisgender norms and discriminations against queer minorities. To explore this issue, we studied the practices of our interviewees, based on in-depth interviews and their personal data. We also conducted participative observation by creating profiles on the applications. This methodology is therefore based on the algorithmic and human construction of queer representation in virtual dating practices. Our observations allowed us to identify the strategies used by our respondents to present themselves online, according to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

This article examines the influence of social media, particularly the use of filters, on the perception of body and beauty in adolescent girls. It highlights how the questioning of physical appearance becomes prevalent in adolescence, exacerbated by exposure to retouched images and unrealistic beauty standards conveyed online. We argue that the intensive use of filters can damage young people's self-esteem, creating a dissonance between their real appearance and their online representation, and potentially leading to body image problems and inferiority complexes. Our research highlights the importance of analyzing the effects of digital representations on the perception of beauty standards and body representations, proposing a mixed research methodology that examines the interactions between online and offline spaces. We also examine the psychological implications of adopting these digital norms, which can lead to unrealistic expectations and body dissatisfaction among adolescent girls. Based on the intersection of the state of the art on this issue, a questionnaire and a qualitative survey, the article explores how the filters used in social media contribute to the construction of a gendered and stereotyped body image, and questions the continuity between digital and real identities. We propose an epistemological reflection on how digital data and body perceptions are interpreted and integrated into studies of the body and identity construction.

The ever growing use of algorithmic and big data-based technologies in both academia and daily life has initiated an emerging critical literature on the social impact of these technologies and the way they are socially biased. Part of these works, from humanities and more recently computer science, draws on feminist epistemologies of knowledge to put into question the actual objectivity of automatic systems. This article details this critical research, relating literature from both fields. It describes the way feminist epistemologies circulate in computer science works on algorithmic bias. It delineates how some of these works embrace these theories to devise ways of operationalizing them, and how they introduce new methods for data science.

This paper will present the methods and challenges of a collective and interdisciplinary research project (Wikif) which aims to understand how the issue of women scholars’ biographies is approached and taken into account on the collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia. First, we will introduce the context of the gendered inequalities on the French speaking Wikipedia. We will then explain how the mixed methods we used in this project are relevant and complementary and how we have associated different remediation interventions to it.

The aim of this article is to reflect on the reorganization of the activities that were usually developed in the presence of the Espaço do Conhecimento (Space of Knowledge) of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), when, at the beginning of 2020, the museum was closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The use of remote work and the adaptation of activities to the digital regime invite us to think about the implications of immaterial work (Castells, 2007), the subtle boundaries between the domestic space and the work space and the issue of fatigue (Safatle, 2015; Han, 2017; 2021; Zizek, 2020) which is imposed on humanity. We have chosen to listen to four collaborators of the Espaço do Conhecimento, attached to the museum nuclei, in a qualitative collection of testimonies, which seeks to enhance the experiences and the affects they have undergone and identified. We are going to highlight some of the challenges that arise for organizations and employees, faced with a work routine that has changed abruptly in a context of uncertainty and adaptation to multiple hardships.

Today’s social media (SM) are illustrated by the extensive attention they accord to fast-moving news stories, especially the judicial ones with ruffling effects. These modern media play a real role in shaping attitudes and trends due to their great impact on perceptual experiences and in forging the intellectual, political, and social understandings of individuals, which ultimately shape public opinion, that latent force which, once moved or provoked, can make noise and produce unexpected social reactions. This study aims to put into perspective the effect of social networking platforms on the course and action of justice, where we found that the publication of crime details and news of inquiries, investigations, and trials has a clear repercussion on the exercise of justice. In this regard, and in order to ensure the proper administration of justice, the Moroccan legislator and social platforms have enacted a number of provisions and standards to preserve judicial action, respect human rights, and guarantee the principles inherent to the requirements of a fair judgment. However, it appeared to us that the current provisions do not fully meet this ambition. Therefore, the study concluded with some recommendations aimed at achieving the necessary consonance between the requirements of justice and freedom of expression.

This article is based on a year and a half of research related to the 'Procès filmés' (filmed trials), mainly oriented to the V13 trial, and my current work about the media coverage of the Brussels 2016 terrorist attacks. Through empirical observations at the Paris and Brussels courts, and crossed interviews with journalists who came at the trials: our research intends to show how accurate this specialized journalism can be. As a mirror of the French and Belgian societies, we questioned the dimensions of communication, (social) media usage and justice. By studying specific aspects of the production of the RTBF and Le Soir journalists, we have focused our attention on the main trials regarding co-defendants who were prosecuted both in France and Belgium between 2021 and 2023.

Cybercrime is a field of research that is distinguished by the multitude of methodologies used, ranging from the anthropological to the psychoanalytic, through sociology, law and communication. In the field of information and communication sciences (ICS), research has focused rather on technical and legal devices. Our contribution aims to explore how emerging media contribute to combating cybercrime through the prism of a lexicometric analysis of official cybersecurity platforms, using "web scraping", a Big Data technique dedicated to the extraction of large data. The lexicometric analysis of two official websites shows distinct yet complementary approaches. One focuses on raising awareness, combating disinformation, and protecting children online, while the other emphasizes the security of personal and financial data as well as the legal and punitive aspects of cybercrime. These differences reflect the cultural and legal specificities of the North-South contexts while enhancing the understanding of digital prevention strategies.

The study shows how the first article of the law "for confidence in the judicial institution", passed in December 2021, authorising the recording of hearings under certain conditions, and the "Justice in France" programmes (France 3) produced in its wake, are constructed as the sides of an instrument of public action. While the instrument appears to be rooted in a certain ‘modernity’, it is partly beyond the control of its political instigator in that it depends on the judiciary and the media, which are independent players, to function.

Since 2018, our research has been conducted in the historical libraries of Transylvania, focusing on the works of fifteen Western European Protestant theologians, known as reformers, who were active in the 16th century. At the Lutheran Gymnasium library in Mediaș, we discovered 58 theological texts by these authors. This number is representative of the average size of the collections we have examined. Notably, three-quarters of the works we reviewed are attributed to just three of these authors: 19 works by Melanchthon, 16 by Calvin and 10 by Luther. The number of writings by the other authors is much smaller: 4 from Musculus, 3-3 from Aretius and Brenz, and 1-1 from Bèze, Chyträus and Zanchi. Almost three quarters of these publications, 43 in all, were brought to the Carpathian Basin before 1601, mostly in the second half of the 16th century. The collection boasts a number of intriguing finds, including Melanchthon’s ”Loci Communes,” once owned by Bartholomäus Altenberger, the reformer of Mediaș. Additionally, it features two volumes penned by Calvin, associated with Péter Csókás Laskó, who notably co-edited the Calepinus-dictionary. The majority of the Reformed texts were incorporated into the collection during the latter parts of the 17th century, serving prior to that as essential handbooks for the local clergy.

The following text represents a fragment from a manuscript that I dealt with a time ago, when referring to the chronicle ascribed to Camillo Abbiosi of Ravenna. I reiterate here the description of this codex preserved at Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana. Dated in the 16th century, the manuscript inventoried as It. VII, 2052 (8981) was acquired by Marciana in 1889. It is bound in parchment and counts 149 leaves. In Carlo Campana’s catalogue of the library, it is regarded as “Camillo Abbiosi, Cronaca di Venezia sino all’anno 1443.” The only modern scholar that has dealt with it by now, Freddy Thiriet, regarded the writing as being clear and belonging to one and the same handwriting. The chronicle included in this manuscript has the following incipit: “Qua comenza la cronicha de tutta la prouintia de Veniesia […]” and continues with presenting the legend of Attila the Hun. The chronicle in this codex ends with the explicit: “[…] di 50 danari della qual cosa la Signoria è compiasette come al domandava” (p. 149b), referring to a request of assistance from the Marquis of Ferrara (Ercole) in 1443, during the dogeship of Francesco Foscari (1423-1457).

The places of authentication are one of the most important types of institution of Medieval Hungary in the issuing of charters. The archives of these institutions are an essential source for understanding the past, because they comprise many documents issued by the secular and ecclesiastical courts referring to various subjects. One of these institutions is the Convent of Cluj-Mănăștur. The Convent of Cluj-Mănăștur’s archive is kept partly at the Batthyaneum Library, in Alba Iulia, Romania, and another part is kept at the Hungarian National Archives, in Budapest. The present study contains inventory of medieval charters (thirteenth-fourteenth centuries) from the Convent of Cluj-Mănăștur’s archive, kept at the Batthyaneum Library. The main aim of this study is to facilitate the access of researchers to the original charters from the Batthyaneum Library by making a correspondence between the reference codes of the Batthyaneum Library and the Hungarian National Archives.
