Présentation de l'intervention

On 21st of October 16:15 CEST, the first lecture of the Oberseminar Series 25/26 on “Web Archives as a Source of Data for Critical and Inclusive Uses of AI in History” will be delivered by Sophie Gebeil (Aix Marseille University). The event accommodates a hybrid format, offering an opportunity to participate online via the Zoom platform. One of the objectives of the Polyvocal Interpretation of Contested Colonial Heritage project was to refine the metadata of television archives and web data concerning narratives of events related to the colonial past or post-colonial issues, which was achieved in 2025. We analyzed the media coverage of the 1983 March for Equality and Against Racism in France using a web archive and a neural topic modelling approach. This presentation will focus on the methodological and ethical challenges involved in providing a distant reading of a transmedia and audiovisual corpus from a historical perspective within a critical and inclusive framework.
