  Freedom and Death in the Greek Revolution of 1821

  Microhistorical analyses of battles in the Epirotic and Balkan areas

  In 2021, during the 200^th anniversary of the proclamation of the Greek Revolution of 1821, the Department of History and Archeology will hold another international conference on "Freedom and Death in the Greek Revolution of 1821. Microhistorical analyses of battles in the Epirotic and the Balkan area". The conference will address issues of Greek historiography, such as the Modern Greek Enlightenment in Epirus, Souli, and the networks of Souliotes; operations in Epirus; the battles of Peta, Philhellenes, Plaka, and Kompoti; Lord Byron on Epirus; the strategies of Ali Pasha; the Epirotic networks in Moldovlachia; and the lives and deaths of revolutionaries. Using modern methodological tools and a microhistory approach to conduct systematic research of both new and old archives, the conference will offer original and interesting approaches to an already rich discussion.

  Italy and Yugoslavia in the Interwar Period

  Monographic issue of “Qualestoria. Rivista di storia contemporanea”

  The signing of the Treaty of Rapallo in 1920 made it possible to find a solution to the Italian-Yugoslav dispute over the north-eastern Adriatic border, a solution that would last substantially until the Italian invasion of the neighbouring kingdom in World War 2. Relations between Italy and Yugoslavia, particularly since the end of the 1920s, with the beginning of the more decidedly revisionist phase of fascist foreign policy regarding the structures of the Danubian-Balkan area, were never easy. However, the signing of the Treaty of Rapallo represented an undoubtedly important moment, which greatly contributed to restore a climate of collaboration between the two countries, heavily jeopardized by border nationalism and by the D’Annunzio’s “impresa di Fiume”, interrupted precisely by the Treaty of Rapallo.

  The multiple Antiquities of Greek modernity (19th-21st centuries)

  Dans un XIX^e siècle où la discussion sur les origines nationales bat son plein dans toute l’Europe, les Grecs auraient-ils pu se dispenser d’une instance de légitimation aussi flatteuse et aussi prometteuse que l’Antiquité ? De fait, la Grèce ancienne devient d’emblée, un élément déterminant dans l’élaboration difficultueuse d’une identité néo-hellénique et d’une l’idéologie étatique. Nous voudrions explorer ce retour du passé dans le présent en questionnant la diversité et l’hétérogénéité des  « Antiquités » créées et véhiculées aux XIX^e et XX^e siècles, le contexte (national, culturel, politique) dans lequel les diverses, et souvent contradictoires, représentations de l’Antiquité ont été formulées en interférant les unes avec les autres,  les manières dont  le contexte dominant de l’histoire nationale a  été consolidé ou sapé par d’autres cadres de pensée projetant sur l’Antiquité des demandes alternatives.
