Description

It is the digital condition of our society that has the biggest influence on the development of historical methods in recent years. Methods and practices in history are being transferred into the digital realm and transformed by it. The talk will use several examples from medieval legal history to explore these developments and ask for the institutional challenges and changes that come with the digital condition.
