  An Environmental History of the Great War

Over the course of the week, they will have opportunity to get to know each other, but also a wide range of internationally recognized academic experts. Guided tours on excursions to French and Belgian sites are an integral part of the program and will enrich the participants' experience.

  Landscapes of the strange

  Art and research relating to the visible and invisible traces of conflicts - interdisciplinary and inter-artistic approaches to war heritag

  This symposium is part of the research project “landscape(s) of the strange. On visible and invisible traces of a regional heritage in transformation. Artistic and theoretical (re)-constructions of a cross-border history marked by major conflicts” started in 2016. To begin with, the project approached the notion of “trace” or “mark” in its material (heritage, architecture, vegetation) and immaterial (memory, culture) dimensions, especially those related to the concrete landscape of Lorraine which bears the mark of a conflictual history opposing Frenchmen and Germans, especially during the two World Wars.

  The "Face" of First World War Battlefields and Battles

  The centenary in 2016 of the two iconic battles of the First World War – Verdun and the Somme – leads us to reconsider battles and battlefields in the historiography of the First World War. Since John Keegan’s pioneering Face of Battle (1976), generations of historians have expanded our understanding of the experience of combat, as well as our knowledge of the literary and artistic representations of the battlefield. The way we think about the legacy of battles in the memory of the First World War around the world, too, has changed. Our week in Verdun and Péronne will not only give us time to reflect on the current state of research on the battles of the First World War and discover the most recent advancements in battlefield archeology and environmental history of warfare, but also confront these readings with on-the-ground visits to the sites studied.

  Defining European Eco-criticism

  The aim of this international conference is to make visible the variegated sprouting of European Eco-criticism —a name that is given as a working hypothesis for the time being. American-born Eco-criticism seems to be gradually filtering into Old World languages and cultural contexts ; but it has different meanings in different places. Hence, an assessment of this major theoretical transduction appears to be highly opportune. The goal is to give a geographical dimension to this framework, and contributors are invited to investigate national, regional, and local particularities of eco-literature, be it in the guise of fiction, non-fiction, or criticism, bearing in mind that literatures outside the English-speaking world will be given priority.

  Agriculture, science et environnement : retours sur la modernisation agricole

  Nous assistons depuis une vingtaine d’années, au niveau national et surtout international, à un profond renouvellement des travaux historiques et sociologiques sur la « modernisation » de l’agriculture. Placé à la croisée de l’histoire et la sociologie rurale, de l’histoire environnementale et de l’histoire et la sociologie des sciences et de l’innovation, le séminaire permettra d’échanger autour des nouvelles perspectives de recherche sur les transformations de l’agriculture, des savoirs et des pratiques agronomiques au XXème siècle et leurs empreintes sociales, culturelles et environnementales. L’enjeu du séminaire sera d’esquisser les bases d’une histoire environnementale de l’agriculture et des savoirs agronomiques en France, mais aussi de croiser les regards d’historiens, de sociologues et anthropologues et de chercheurs des sciences agronomiques.
