  The "Face" of First World War Battlefields and Battles

  The centenary in 2016 of the two iconic battles of the First World War – Verdun and the Somme – leads us to reconsider battles and battlefields in the historiography of the First World War. Since John Keegan’s pioneering Face of Battle (1976), generations of historians have expanded our understanding of the experience of combat, as well as our knowledge of the literary and artistic representations of the battlefield. The way we think about the legacy of battles in the memory of the First World War around the world, too, has changed. Our week in Verdun and Péronne will not only give us time to reflect on the current state of research on the battles of the First World War and discover the most recent advancements in battlefield archeology and environmental history of warfare, but also confront these readings with on-the-ground visits to the sites studied.

  Extrications from authoritarian socialism, from 1945 to the present

  Summer school for young researchers

  Après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale et l’effondrement des grands empires coloniaux, la seconde moitié du XX^e siècle a vu la multiplication de régimes socialistes-autoritaires fondés sur la domination d’un parti unique se revendiquant du socialisme et administrant une économie largement étatisée ou collectivisée, plus ou moins rapidement suivie de leur disparition. L'école d'été permettra d’interroger dans une perspective comparative et interdisciplinaire des périodes nommées, selon les contextes, « transition », « libéralisation », « démocratisation », « dégel », « déstalinisation » ou « désoviétisation ». Une attention particulière sera accordée aux héritages (in-)visibles, persistances, résistances et formes de réaction qui ont émaillé ces « sorties ». L'école d'été permettra à de jeunes chercheurs spécialistes d’aires géographiques diverses de se familiariser avec les archives soviétiques.
