This thesis addresses the theoretical treatment of photoelectrons in attosecond and free-electron laser sciences. Wehave implemented methods that extract information on the photoionization process, which we use to investigateinterferometric schemes with particular focus on multiphoton ionization and strong-field effects in attosecondmetrology and coherent control of photoelectrons in free-electron
This thesis examines how digital music archives can facilitate different versions of the history of recorded music. It argues that digital technologies and metadata enable coexisting historical narratives of recorded music that move across time and musical genre, and that can cross geographical and cultural space. The study sees a correlation between archival strategies and the presentation of rec

Based on multisited fieldwork in Kigali, Rwanda, Belgium, and the Netherlands following the political crisis in Burundi in 2015, we explore decisions and plans for the future among Burundians in exile. In this way, we contribute to research about future making and social reproduction in families in a transnational social field affected by crisis. Adding to the literature, we show the specific effe
African migrants have become increasingly demonised in public debate and political rhetoric. There is much speculation about the incentives and trajectories of Africans on the move, and often these speculations are implicitly or overtly geared towards discouraging and policing their movements. What is rarely understood or scrutinised however, are the intricate ways in which African migrants are ma
Through the lens of Burundians who have been displaced by the recent crisis in Burundi and their anticipations of possible futures for themselves and their country, expressed in the emotions of hope, anxiety and despair, this paper explores the shift from a situation characterized by upheaval towards the crystallization of authoritarian rule in Burundi. Through ethnographic research amongst Burund
