  "The Balfour Declaration" : What centenary

  In order to address this notorious Declaration, we propose a debate on the historical, political and geostrategic circumstances that led to the Balfour Declaration, and how  practical  politics  influences the making of Britain’s foreign policy. The Balfour Declaration and its ramifications at the local and global levels could be tackled with reference to a myriad of theoretical frameworks such as the postcolonial/political theory, new historicism, ethnography, to name but a few.

  First Moments in the First World War

  En articulant échelles individuelles et collectives, l’intention de ce colloque résolument comparatif est de repenser la question des expériences de guerre vécues par les contemporains et la manière dont ceux-ci les perçoivent, les endurent puis les « construisent » à partir d’une expérience originelle jugée le plus souvent fondatrice pour en proposer une histoire sociale et culturelle, ouverte sur les autres sciences sociales. Derrière la question des « premières fois » et des « initiations » dans la guerre de 1914-1918, c’est bien une interrogation sur le « pouvoir des commencements » que le colloque souhaite déployer. Il s’agit donc depuis l’individu jusqu’aux sociétés plongées dans la guerre, de penser la rupture et la nouveauté radicale que représenta, pour ses contemporains, celle qu’on appela, dès 1914, la Grande Guerre.

  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.
