  Collections and networking in relation to the two world wars

  The centenary of the Great War to come given the opportunity to consider the report maintained history, but his memory continues to be transmitted, shared and built. Generations change and reporting the event change: beyond the first World War, and even the second question also, more generally report that heritage can be rethought. How to build together a common heritage? How not to entrust the task to professionals only delegates this function, but also to take collective action that allow more widespread involvement? This question arises differently in each museum.

  "Changing the Tune": Popular Music & Politics in the XXIst Century

  From the Fall of Communism to the Arab Spring

  Popular Music scholars have devoted considerable attention to the relationship between music and power. The symbolic practices through which subcultures state and reinforce identities have been widely documented (mainly in the field of Cultural, Gender and Postcolonial Studies), as has the increasingly political and revolutionary dimensions of popular music. Most studies have focused on the genres and movements that developed with and in the aftermath of the 1960’s counterculture. Yet little has been written about how the politics of popular music has reflected the social, geopolitical and technological changes of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, after the fall of Communism. Still, the music of the Arab Spring or of the Occupy and Indignados movements have been scarcely commented upon while they attest to significant changes in the way music is used by activists and revolutionaries today.

  German Cinema and the Cold War

  Dans le cadre de notre colloque sur « le cinéma allemand et la Guerre froide », nous comptons analyser les nombreuses facettes de ce choc idéologique majeur que le cinéma reflète et crée à la fois, et dont les échos continuent de résonner plus de vingt ans après la chute de son symbole le plus fort, le Mur de Berlin. Nous souhaitons élargir la discussion selon la perspective multipolaire des récentes Cold-War Studies. Celles-ci entendent la politique de la Guerre froide comme une « politique totale » qui fait irruption dans tous les domaines de la vie sociale, culturelle et économique de l’ensemble des pays concernés. Aussi nous aimerions aborder le sujet dans une perspective internationale et interdisciplinaire.
