Péronne | Verdun
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.

Conference, symposium - Language
Selected languages. Saved languages. The poetics of resistance
Ce colloque a pour objet de questionner les multiples enjeux (éthiques, politiques, artistiques et existentiels) que revêt le choix d’une langue d’écriture pour un écrivain plurilingue travaillant dans un contexte d’oppression ou de violence, ou encore dans une « zone de contact » entre différentes langues / cultures. Il s’agira d’envisager l’adoption d’une langue d’écriture comme une décision prise en toute conscience de la précarité du lien identité / langue / nation et du rapport de force qui existe entre différentes langues dans un espace-temps donné. « Sauver sa langue », de ce point de vue, c’est réchapper par l’écriture d’une violence qui menace l’intégrité de la personne. La question du choix linguistique en littérature n’a que rarement été abordée jusqu’ici sous un angle transdisciplinaire, transnational et transhistorique. L’autre originalité de la démarche adoptée est de ne pas réduire la question du choix à l’écriture en langue étrangère (exophonie).
