The Use of Linked Data in Research Practices in the Humanities CEDAR is a project of the Computational Humanities Programme of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Hosted at the eHumanities group, this project looked into 200 years of the Dutch Historic Census. Very early on, CEDAR held once a year a mini-symposium with international experts. At this final event, we welcome national and international speakers to discuss the use of Linked Data approaches in humanities research practices.

“Most narrative films take place in that part of life where work has been left behind.” Harun Farocki’s condemnation of cinema’s unwillingness to represent labour finds echoes in present-day political discussions about the struggles and persistent invisibility of labour in public space. Undocumented labour, the weakening of union organizing, and the decoupling of work from physical space in the era of the Internet, are phenomena that have irreversibly altered everyday life. 

The international research centre Work and Human Lifecycle in Global History (re:work) at Humboldt-Universita t zu Berlin and the history department of the Universidade Eduardo Mondlane in Maputo will hold a Summer Academy exploring the historical and contemporary meanings and practices of work in relation to the politics of health, safety and security.
