In der Sektion über #GlobalHistory from a global perspective geht's gerade um die Begrenzungen von LLMs für "low-resourced" languages. Da tut sich allerdings viel - nicht bei OpenAI, Google, Meta & Co. aber andernorts. Ich suche später noch weitere Links, für den Moment muss es dieser tun:

Interessanter Punkt über die Rolle der epistemologischen Traditionen in der #GlobalHistory from a Global Perspective Fachsektion:

Sowohl innerhalb der westlichen Geschichtswissenschaft eine Pluralität von Epistemologien (z.B. French vs Anglo-American), die verschiedene Ziele/Einsätze und AUswirkungen haben, aber/also auch Epistemologien "aus der Peripherie", die sich aus anderen Motivationen (Rassismus, Marginalisierung) speisen, anderen Pfaden folgen und andere Auswirkungen haben, andere Gestalten von geschichtswissenschaftlicher Forschung bewirken.

Timely #review article:
Frank Biess, Weimar in the World: Transnational and Global Perspectives on Germany’s First Democracy, in: The Journal of Modern History 97 (2025) 2, https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/735412

Concluding that the “contradictory crosscurrents of Weimar’s
global situatedness sound rather familiar in the context of our own predicament at
the beginning of the twenty-first century.”
