  Music and nation, 1918-1945, Europe and the Americas (II)

  Music, nationalism and transnationalism - diplomacy, politics and aesthetics

  Ce colloque constitue la deuxième étape du programme de recherche « Musique et nation dans l’entre-deux-guerres - Europe-Amériques ». Il fait suite à la journée d’études « Musique et nation dans l’entre-deux-guerres » qui s’est tenue le 10 décembre 2015 à Paris. Y sera développée une réflexion sur la mobilisation de la musique par des acteurs publics ou privés dans des contextes locaux, nationaux et internationaux. Trois axes seront privilégiés : les usages de la musique dans la diplomatie culturelle ; la musique dans les commémorations et les répertoires à dimension commémorative et la place des imaginaires nationaux et nationalistes dans le discours sur la musique.

  The Allied Occupation of Germany Revisited

  New Research on the Western Zones of Occupation, 1945-1949

  The Allied occupation of Western Germany after the Second World War has recently seen a revival of interest among historians. This two-day international conference will showcase new research from scholars based across the globe and provide a forum for the presentation of innovative approaches to the history of the three western zones of occupation. It also aims to stimulate dialogue between historians of the different zones of occupation and so bring together hitherto almost entirely segregated historiographies.

  Italy’s Decade of War: 1935-1945 in International Perspective

  From the invasion of Abyssinia to the end of World War II, Italy experienced a decade of war. This conference aims to re-evaluate the history of the Italian experience during this ten-year period with a unifying perspective that places the Italian Fascist regime and its foreign and military enterprises in an entirely internationalised framework of analysis. It will bring an international focus upon the Italian role in the break-down of the international system and appeasement, and will analyse the consequences of Italian militarism on a global scale. It will explore comparative and transnational histories of the Italian occupations of France, the Balkans, Greece, and Albania, as well as the Allied occupation of Italy following the defeat.

  The Allied Occupation of Germany Revisited

  New Research on the Western Zones of Occupation, 1945-1949

  The Allied occupation of Western Germany after the Second World War has long constituted a classic component in academic histories of post-war Germany. After having been the subject of sustained scholarly attention in the 1970s and 1980s, the subject has subsequently faced a decline in academic interest. This two-day conference is intended to showcase new research and provide a forum for the presentation of innovative approaches to the history of the three western zones of occupation. It also aims to stimulate dialogue between historians of the different zones of occupation and so bring together hitherto almost entirely segregated historiographies. We are inviting papers from both emerging scholars and established specialists.
