  War Memories

  Commemoration, Re-enactment, Writings of War in the English-speaking World (XVIIIth-XXIst century)

  The wars of the past have not left the same imprint on collective memory. Wars of conquest or liberation have marked the history of the British Empire and its colonies in different ways. American foreign policy seems to be motivated by what is sometimes viewed as an imperialist vision which led the army into the quagmire of Vietnam and more recently into controversial involvement in the Gulf. Whether they end in victory or defeat, or are a source of patriotic pride or collective shame, wars are commemorated in museum exhibitions or through literature and the cinema in which the threads of ideological discourse and the expression of subjective experience are intertwined. In the wake of the 100^th anniversary of the Great War, when the links between memory and history are central to historiographical preoccupations, this international conference will encompass the representations of wars in the English-speaking world during the 18^th, 19^th, 20^th and 21^st centuries.

  Cities under siege in revolutionary and imperial Europe

  Ce colloque s’inscrit résolument dans une volonté d’approche comparatiste entre différents contextes qu’il s’agisse des conflits internationaux de la décennie révolutionnaire, des guerres civiles ou des guerres impériales. Les comparaisons ont vocation à être internationales en prenant en compte les situations des différents pays européens confrontés à des sièges et en croisant les regards des belligérants.
