Karine Abiven is a Professor at Sorbonne University's Faculty of Letters, specializing in French literature and language with a focus on the 17th century. She also holds a position as Professor of French language at the University of Rouen Normandy. Her academic career shows a strong interdisciplinary approach combining literary studies, linguistics, and digital humanities. Dr. Abiven's research primarily centers on discourse analysis, stylistics, and the political dimensions of language during France's Fronde period (mid-17th century civil wars). She has developed significant expertise in analyzing political songs, satirical pamphlets (mazarinades), and other forms of contemporary writing from this turbulent historical period. Her work examines how language functions as both political weapon and narrative device, particularly in contexts of social upheaval. Abiven has been instrumental in several digital humanities initiatives, most notably the Antonomaz project which creates a comprehensive digital collection of Fronde libels. This project demonstrates her commitment to applying computational methods to historical textual analysis. Her publications reveal a consistent research trajectory spanning from 2009 to the present, with increasing emphasis on digital methodologies in recent years. Her scholarly output shows particular interest in the intersection of political discourse and literary form, with recurring themes including the role of satire, the circulation of ideas, and the relationship between oral and written culture in early modern France. Abiven frequently collaborates with other scholars across disciplines, as evidenced by her recent co-authored work on class-defector narratives.

Pia Marit Johanne Lane is Professor of Multilingualism at the Department of Linguistics and Nordic Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Oslo, and serves as Academic Chair for the Circle U. Multilingualism, Interculturality and Language Lab. She gained national prominence as a member of the Norwegian Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which investigated historical Norwegianization policies against Sami, Kven/Norwegian Finns, and Forest Finns, submitting its report to the Storting in June 2023. Professor Lane's research focuses on language revitalization, language policy, and the standardization of minority languages, with particular expertise in Kven and Sami communities in Northern Norway. Her scholarly approach integrates nexus analysis with indigenous, decolonial, and southern theoretical perspectives, examining language as part of a larger semiotic system. She has extensively documented how material objects function as identity markers during language shift, as evidenced in her influential works including 'Identities in action: A nexus analysis of identity construction and language shift' (2009) and 'We did what we thought was best for our children' (2010). Analysis of Lane's recent publications reveals a strong trajectory toward decolonial frameworks and the application of southern theory to northern contexts. Her work increasingly examines the psychological dimensions of linguistic colonization and the pathways to mental decolonization. The recurring themes across her scholarship include the tension between language standardization and community participation, the role of new speakers in language revitalization movements, and the complex relationship between historical trauma and contemporary language identity. Project leader for 'Standardising Minority Languages,' funded by Norges Forskningsråd Co-editor of 'Standardizing Minority Languages. Competing Ideologies of Authority and Authenticity in the Global Periphery' (Routledge, 2017) Member of the EU-funded COST Action IS1306 'New Speakers in a Multilingual Europe' Co-leader of the work group 'Indigenous minority languages' and current leader of 'New speakers: Subjectivities, trajectories, spaces' Member of AILA-network 'Home Language Maintenance and Development' Lane's fieldwork extends beyond traditional academic boundaries, including collaboration with Lightsource Productions on the documentary film 'Det hemmelige språket' (The Secret Language), which explores contemporary Kven language users. Her personal connection to the subject matter is profound—growing up in Bugøynes, Finnmark, she was the first generation in her family to be spoken to exclusively in Norwegian, only reclaiming her heritage Kven language as an adult researcher returning to her community.

Giorgio Politi serves as Senior Researcher in Modern History (M-STO/02) at Ca' Foscari University of Venice's Department of Humanities, where he has been a core member since the department's inception. He previously taught at Milan's Academy of Fine Arts and University of Milan from 1975-1980 while pioneering academic IT infrastructure as departmental webmaster, IT manager, and faculty IT committee coordinator. Politi earned his Philosophy degree from the University of Milan in 1971. His scholarly trajectory bridges traditional historiography with digital innovation, reflecting early adoption of microcomputers for historical text processing and desktop publishing in the 1980s-90s. His research centers on Early Modern European social dynamics, particularly peasant revolts like the 1525 Tyrolean uprising led by Michael Gaismair and urban history of Spanish-era Cremona. Later work explores historical epistemology, cultural memory, and digital humanities methodologies, evidenced by his co-founded academic series em-studi di storia europea protomoderna with Reinhold C. Mueller. Analysis of his 66+ publications (1976-2016) reveals three thematic clusters: foundational studies on Gaismair and Tyrolean revolts (1980s-90s), methodological critiques of historical practice ( History as a Dead Language , 2009), and interdisciplinary explorations of cultural memory ( The Chosen People , 2015). His 2009 thesis-writing manual remains widely used in Italian academia. Though no formal awards are documented, Politi's institutional impact is evident through his leadership in academic technology and the influential publication series he co-directs. His advisory roles are reflected in collaborative editorial projects rather than formal student supervision. Politi co-founded and directs the em-studi di storia europea protomoderna series, creating a dedicated platform for early modern European historical research that bridges Italian and international scholarship through digital publishing frameworks he developed.
