  The faces of the Great War

  Ce colloque international, le second organisé au cœur de cette ligne de front, poursuit le projet initial de patrimonialisation et de valorisation d’un site emblématique où les traces de vie et de mort des combattants stigmatisant encore le paysage meurtri par le sang et les armes, sont toujours livrées à l’épreuve du temps et montrent, s’il en est, les signes de leur inexorable disparition. Ligne de front, paysage meurtri d’une époque où tout bascule dans l’éphémère, ce colloque aura pour objectif de focaliser l’attention sur les visages de la première guerre mondiale, de la trace des combats aux meurtrissures des corps, tout ce qui fait mémoire par-delà les strates du temps et des abîmes de l’oubli.

  1914-1918. The war in maps

  The 1rst World War dramatically affected societies and territories, as well as personal lives and all forms of culture, in Europe and elsewhere in the world. The 1914-1918 conflict had in all respects a foundational nature. On the occasion of the 1rst World War commemorations, and in connection with the exhibition, "Summer of '14: The Last Days of the Old World", which will be held at the French National Library from March 25 to August 3, the French Committee of Cartography organizes a conference specifically dedicated to the role of cartography in the war, according to three main issues : the role of maps during the preparation of the war, the use of maps on the theatre of military operations, the importance of the map in a civil society during the war.
