  Producing with the enemy in the Great War?

  The pursuit of industrial activity in war zones

  Le Musée du verre de Charleroi (Belgique) et l'Amaverre (France) co-organisent un colloque européen transfrontalier ayant pour thématique principale la poursuite de l'activité industrielle en zones occupées durant le premier conflit mondial, thématique dont l'intérêt réside dans la possibilité d'éclairer d'un nouveau jour, un siècle plus tard, ce qui s'est réellement passé en industrie, loin des discours très orientés d'après-guerre.

  The Individual at the Crossroads between the Civilian and Military Worlds

  The symposium theme is merely a guideline, a clue for reflection rather than a well-defined subject.

In addition to the encounter between the civilian and military “worlds”, constituting two separate spheres, we must reflect upon the individual as being at the crossroads between two dimensions, which jointly construct him or her.
