  Alsace and the 1918 switch - expulsions, migrations, mobilities

  Expulsions, migrations, mobilités

  Ce colloque entend reconsidérer l’histoire de l’Alsace après 1918 à partir de recherches récentes sur son histoire migratoire, qui incluent l’expulsion des Allemands et des Alsaciens germanophiles, les migrations de travail, les déplacements frontaliers, l’accueil de réfugiés dans les années 1930. Ces phénomènes migratoires divers, à différentes échelles, dépassant souvent les frontières de la région comme de la France (puisqu’ils touchèrent le pays de Bade, la Lorraine, la Ruhr, la Belgique) contribuèrent tous à redéfinir la place de l’Alsace dans la Troisième République et ses nouveaux liens à l’espace allemand.

  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.

  War and experiences of European-ness: convergences, transfers and circulations (1900–1950)

  National societies do not function in closed space. The spread of new communication and transport means during the second half of the 19^th century has brought together formerly distant regions of the European continent and created new spaces for economic and information exchanges. This process of convergence provided a basis for a larger "community of Europeans". At the same time, a somewhat contradictory development took place through the strengthening of nationalist ideas and movements leading to the foundation of so-called "nation-states" in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and the intensification of tensions between different ethnic groups and minorities. European societies therefore experienced contradictory changes, both rapprochement on a transnational level and withdrawal to the national space.

  “People” and Power(s) in Representation

  Nordic and Germanic Space

  The Kiel Treaty, signed on 14 January 1814, marks a milestone in European and Scandinavian history as it ended armed conflicts between the realms of Sweden and Denmark. In order to celebrate its 200th anniversary, this conference will focus on national propaganda and representations of power through the representation of the people. The period under study spans from the 14^th century to 1814. It includes the Scandinavian realms’ stabilization as well as the emergence of a national sentiment centered on the homeland, the ruler or the reigning power and ends with the emergence of nationalism in Europe.

  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.
