  Germany and its Images in World Exhibitions

  The very first World Exhibition, held in London in 1851, presented industry as a thriving sector, a dreamworld offering man endless possibilities. This theme was a constant in subsequent Exhibitions, culminating in the Paris Exhibition of 1900, which represented a new highpoint for technological achievement. It was at this time, between 1880 and 1914, that Germany sought to impose itself as an industrial giant. By the time of the Exhibition of 1904, held in the American city of St Louis[1], German industrialists were working harder than ever to achieve recognition from their peers around the world.

  France faced with German unity (16th-20th century)

  From the universal Habsbourg monarchy to German reunification

  Depuis la première moitié du XVI^e siècle jusqu'à la fin du XX^e siècle, la question de l'unité politique de l'Allemagne est revenue à maintes reprises au coeur des préoccupations de la diplomatie française. Le colloque souhaite étudier ces rémanences. Subsisterait-il, à l'égard de l'Allemagne, une continuité des positions diplomatiques françaises qui se prolongerait de François I^er à François Mitterrand ? La diplomatie française serait-elle traversée de courants divergents quant à cette question ? Comment la France a-t-elle cherché à évaluer les risques et les avantages que pouvait susciter l'unité allemande ?

  Collapse and Resilience of German Missions 1914-1939

  World War I had a devastating impact upon German Missions (Roman Catholic and Protestant). A general description of German mission fields A.D. 1914 will be the starting point of the Conference. Case studies are welcome on particular territories such as Togo, Cameroon, East Africa, South-West Africa, South East Asia, Pacific area, China, India, Middle East. Attention will be paid to the predicament of local "orphaned" Christian churches and communities, and to the relationships between the local leadership with the new foreign missions authorized by the Allies instead of German personnel.
