L’histoire de la colonisation est parsemée de manifestations culturelles glorifiant l’hégémonie française. L’exposition coloniale de 1931 est, de ce point de vue, édifiante. Bien au-delà de ces expositions d’envergures, la situation coloniale a conditionné le développement des arts, du cinéma, de l’architecture mais aussi de l’enseignement. Dès 1951, Georges Balandier qualifiait la colonisation de « fait social total » et la culture, dans son sens le plus large, érigée en moyen de domination ultime, en fut l’un des chaînons. Cette série de séminaires aura, dès lors, pour objectif d’interroger, par des discussions thématiques – les festivals, le cinéma, la photographie, l’architecture et l’enseignement seront abordés - et en réunissant des chercheurs, doctorants, docteurs et artistes de divers horizons disciplinaires, la relation complexe et cruciale entre culture et colonisation.

Armed citizens, soldiers of the land and "montoneras"
Armed conflicts in Latin America in the 19th century
Le symposium propose une approche des conflits armés (révolutions, guerres civiles, soulèvements, révoltes, émeutes, « pronunciamientos ») en Amérique latine / Amérique Ibérique pendant le processus de construction et de consolidation de l’État, depuis la période qui a suivi les indépendances et jusqu’au début du XXe siècle. Il s’intéresse à la circulation d’acteurs, de pratiques et de concepts politiques dans le cadre des espaces transnationaux, tout en prenant de la distance face à une histoire strictement « nationale », politique et militaire.

Figth, suffer and Die in the Wars of the French Revolution and of the First Empire
Approches croisées histoire-anthropologie
This symposium entitled takes part in the renewal of studies concerning the historical anthropology of war focusing on the 1789-1815 period. To start with, violence in all forms will be the topic of a questioning bases on the chronological point of view. Is it relevant to consider the period as a time of strong reorientation sided with an increase in importance of the “ideologising” of violence on the battlefield ? By setting the analysis at the level of fighters, our purpose is to think about the sufferings that are inherent to war.

France at war: five "terrible years"
1792-1793 / 1814-1815 / 1870-1871 / 1914-1915 / 1939-1940
Le colloque a pour enjeu de discuter la notion « d’année terrible » au sens hugolien du terme à travers cinq temps courts au cours desquels la nation a été confrontée à la guerre, à la défaite militaire, parfois à la guerre civile et aux sentiments d’échecs, de décadence et de division. Dans une optique comparatiste, il explore les expériences du basculement dans la guerre.

Conference, symposium - History
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 100th 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 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
