  1914-1918. The war in maps

  The 1rst World War dramatically affected societies and territories, as well as personal lives and all forms of culture, in Europe and elsewhere in the world. The 1914-1918 conflict had in all respects a foundational nature. On the occasion of the 1rst World War commemorations, and in connection with the exhibition, "Summer of '14: The Last Days of the Old World", which will be held at the French National Library from March 25 to August 3, the French Committee of Cartography organizes a conference specifically dedicated to the role of cartography in the war, according to three main issues : the role of maps during the preparation of the war, the use of maps on the theatre of military operations, the importance of the map in a civil society during the war.

  Borders and border spaces: a subject for geographical and geopolitcal study

  Portant sur le programme au concours d'entrée de l'ENS-Lyon de 2013 (« Frontières et espaces frontaliers »), cette journée d'études interrogera des frontières interétatiques (notamment au prisme des exemples balkaniques et israélo-palestinien), entre construction, reconstruction, revendication, contestation. Elle abordera également la question de la représentation des frontières et espaces frontaliers à travers l'art et la cartographie (elle est également en lien avec la question « Représenter l'espace » au concours de l'agrégation de géographie).
