The faces of the Great War
Ce colloque international, le second organisé au cœur de cette ligne de front, poursuit le projet initial de patrimonialisation et de valorisation d’un site emblématique où les traces de vie et de mort des combattants stigmatisant encore le paysage meurtri par le sang et les armes, sont toujours livrées à l’épreuve du temps et montrent, s’il en est, les signes de leur inexorable disparition. Ligne de front, paysage meurtri d’une époque où tout bascule dans l’éphémère, ce colloque aura pour objectif de focaliser l’attention sur les visages de la première guerre mondiale, de la trace des combats aux meurtrissures des corps, tout ce qui fait mémoire par-delà les strates du temps et des abîmes de l’oubli.

Front lines: the faces of Great War
One century later the shells have plowed the land, what do we know? What are the meaning traces of a wounded landscape, crushed under the firepower of shells? What do we know of these bruised body steeped in the mud of the Meuse trenches? What gives us meaning the effigies of these areas? Slices of life, death space, territory frozen in its depths forever, one hundred years later, the front line continues continues to resonate for each of us. It is now essential to reflect on this territory which from the Atlantic to the blue line of the Vosges was the death knell of a world. Frontline, bruised landscape of a time when everything changes in the ephemeral, this conference will aim to focus attention on the faces of the First World War, from the trace of battles to the mangled bodies, all that makes memory beyond the layers of time and the depths of oblivion.
