The Ganden Phrodang Army and Buddhist
TibArmy symposium
A number of publications have addressed the question of the coexistence of Buddhism and violence, ultimately concluding that there is no paradox between the two. In various cultural and historical contexts in Asia, the presence of Buddhism as the state religion has often involved the recourse to violence and the maintenance of an army as a necessity of government. Likewise, the policies of Buddhist rulers have repeatedly invoked religious reasons to justify military activities aimed at defending the Dharma. We invite research contributions based on primary sources illustrating the role of the Tibetan Army vis-à-vis different aspects of the Buddhist religion during the historical period of the Ganden Phodrang.

Commemoration, Re-enactment, Writings of War in the English-speaking World (XVIIIth-XXIst century)
The wars of the past have not left the same imprint on collective memory. Wars of conquest or liberation have marked the history of the British Empire and its colonies in different ways. American foreign policy seems to be motivated by what is sometimes viewed as an imperialist vision which led the army into the quagmire of Vietnam and more recently into controversial involvement in the Gulf. Whether they end in victory or defeat, or are a source of patriotic pride or collective shame, wars are commemorated in museum exhibitions or through literature and the cinema in which the threads of ideological discourse and the expression of subjective experience are intertwined. In the wake of the 100th anniversary of the Great War, when the links between memory and history are central to historiographical preoccupations, this international conference will encompass the representations of wars in the English-speaking world during the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

Captives, recruited, migrants: Empires and labor mobilization
From XVIIth century to present days
This workshop starts from the hypothesis that warfare and labor are strongly connected in Empire building and their evolution, to begin with war captives in early modern Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas and to continue with the various forms of recruitment in land and maritime empires in all those areas. Captives as well as local peasants were soldiers, seamen, and colonists at the same time. Forms of forced recruitment were still important in the XIXth century (the press system in Britain and its variations in the Empire, recruitments in Russia) and continued in the XXth century, in Europe during the wars, outside of Europe during and after colonization and decolonization up through nowadays children soldiers.

Claims, evaluations and public policy
Au croisement des domaines juridique, économique et culturel, les contributions s’intéressent d’abord aux conditions techniques associées au dédommagement et répondent aux questions posées par leur mesure à divers égards : comment qualifie-t-on et évalue-t-on des destructions et dommages pour justifier une demande de dédommagement ? Quelles sont les mesures des destructions, comment établit-on et négocie-t-on la valeur du dédommagement, dans quelles unités de mesure et selon quelles échelles ? La problématique sera déclinée dans un cadre chronologique large du XVIIe au XXe siècle, sur des terrains géographiques et thématiques divers – expropriations urbaines consécutives à des réaménagements urbains, catastrophes, réparations liée aux guerres – , et une diversité de biens concernés(établissements industriels, terres agricoles, biens culturels). -

Conference, symposium - History
Constructions and recompositions in historico-literary discourse in Europe, from the 18th-21st century
Ce colloque propose une approche interdisciplinaire de la généalogie et des fonctions des images de l'ennemi en Europe du XVIIIe au XXIe siècle ; on s'interrogera à partir de textes historiques et littéraires sur les modes de construction et de recomposition, la circulation et l'instrumentalisation de ces images et des notions corrélées (guerre civile, barbare, etc.). La perspective est centrée sur la France, l'Allemagne et la Russie, en trois temps forts : la seconde moitié du « long XVIIIe siècle », la période charnière 1870-1918 et l'âge des totalitarismes. -
