A multiscalar approach: the case of past uses online since the 2000s, Sophie Gebeil, Aix-Marseille Univ (TELEMME laboratory)

In this short paper, I would like to defend the fact that a corpus belonging to a national web sphere can be studied according to a multiscalar approach, questioning the phenomenon in the light of local, even micro-local, national and global dynamics. We will thus see that, if online memory uses are, like any other practice or event observable online, historically and socially situated, they are also geographically situated. Thus, cross-referencing these different scales forces the researcher to vary the methodologies while sometimes being confronted with a lack of sources depending on web archiving.
