  The Berlin Airlift

  A Realm of Memory of the Cold War

  Whether or not “the entire world” was looking at Berlin, as Reuter asserted, is one of the central questions to be addressed at our conference. Starting from the “frontline city” of Berlin, we will cast our glance to West Germany and its neighboring countries in order not only to frame the Berlin Airlift as a transnational memorial of the Cold War, but also to address, from outside, the question of whether Berlin was really the international focus of the East-West conflict back then, as the press and academia so often portray it.

  From One War to the Next: What Was Left of 1870-1871 in 1914?

  Defenders of Peace 1899-1917

  Ce colloque, à l'occasion du centenaire de la première guerre mondiale, entend réflechir sur l'échec de la paix en s'intéressant à l'action de tous ceux et de toutes celles qui, dans les différents pays d'Europe et du monde, ont cherché à empêcher l'éclatement d'une guerre européenne ou ont cherché à en interrompre le cours. Le champ de recherches inclut toutes les sensibilités de paix émanant d'horizons politiques et de milieux sociaux très divers. Il s'attache aussi bien aux personnalités et militants qu'aux lieux et réseaux de défense de la paix, aux initiatives, évènements, manifestations et tentatives de paix, aux relations des pacifistes avec les États, aux idées, débats et controverses, enfin aux sensibilités et dimensions affectives, aux désirs de paix.
