  The dynamics of extremity in thoughts and actions

  Depuis les attentats de janvier 2015, la radicalisation djihadiste a été mise à l’agenda scientifique et politique en France. S’impose aujourd’hui la recherche d’éclairages pertinents sur un phénomène dont l’Histoire a montré le potentiel mortifère et contaminateur. Cette radicalisation s’inscrit dans un contexte plus large de développement de dynamiques d’extrémisations diverses, religieuses et politiques en particulier, avec leur cortège d’exclusions et de violences multiples, en particulier racistes, antisémites et xénophobes. Ce cycle de conférences proposé conjointement par la Fondation du Camp des Milles et l’Institut méditerranéen d’études avancées propose de contribuer à la réflexion sur ce sujet par une confrontation des analyses et par le débat entre chercheurs et citoyens.

  At War with Words

  Letters, diaries and memoirs of soldiers, women and children in the First World War

  What were the feelings, the perceptions and the mental attitudes of soldiers and civilians, of women and children, during the war? What strategies of psychological resistance did they employ in response to such destabilising experience? It is possible to answer these questions by consulting the wide variety of writings produced by the combatants and by the civilian population "mobilised" during the conflict. These letters, diaries, and memoirs – some still hidden in old drawers, though many collected in 'folk writing' archives – are also of considerable narrative and historical interest, due to their linguistic peculiarities, and their efficacy as depth-probes and guides into the war. This conference will address the methodological debates that are still ongoing, while presenting texts of particular significance, as well as the results of European research in historical and linguistic fields.
