Violence and environmental crisis
Violence: An international journal
Violence: An international journal is launching a call for papers on the theme “Violence and environmental crisis”. Can we speak about violence when describing biodiversity loss, the destruction of natural sanctuaries like Amazonia and the Great Barrier Reef, or when observing the spillage of illegally polluting wastes? How long is the chain of violence related to environmental crisis? And who are the perpetrators and the victims of such violence? In which way can we speak about violence, and can this violence be legitimated or condemned? All this raises theoretical, normative, linguistic and empirical questions to be discussed in the articles fostered by this call.

Territories in turmoil - pacified territories
Representations of territories in a state of turmoil and war
Si la guerre tue, la photographie, elle, est douée d’une capacité de sidération. Dans cette mesure, l’une et l’autre suspendent, figent l’instant. Dans leurs procédures, elles s’appliquent à maîtriser, à conquérir, à capturer et entretiennent un lien fondamental avec la mort. Cette journée veillera donc à aborder un large spectre de représentations des territoires confrontés aux guerres passées et actuelles qui s’offrent comme de multiples terrains d’études, qu’investissent très largement les artistes.

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.

Péronne | Verdun
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.

À la lisière de la guerre. Révoltes, guérillas et massacres en forêt au XXe siècle
La forêt a été au cours du XXe siècle un espace de guerres et de combats. Si cette dimension de la forêt a été exploitée récemment en ce qui concerne la guerre régulière, notamment autour de la Première Guerre mondiale, cette journée d'études a pour objectif d'explorer les liens complexes entre combat irrégulier et forêt au vingtième siècle. En réunissant des spécialistes issus de différentes disciplines, il s'agit de croiser les interrogations et les regards autour à la fois d'un espace souvent perçu comme un territoire de violence, de danger et de marginalité, mais aussi de refuge et de sacralité, et d'un mode de combat échappant aux normes de la guerre et de la société. Les interventions examineront tant les pratiques de la guérilla et de la contre-insurrection en forêt, les différents usages de la forêt en tant de guerre, que les imaginaires qui sous-tendent ces conflits, et les représentations, notamment cinématographiques, de la forêt comme zone de combats et de massacres.
