  Noth Africa and Subsaharan Africa in the Great War 1914-1918

  Heritage, commemoration and transmission

  Un siècle s’est écoulé depuis le déclenchement de la Grande Guerre. Dans le cas de l'empire français, l'armée d'Afrique et les troupes coloniales ont donné un rôle de premier plan aux pays d'Afrique du Nord et d’Afrique subsaharienne. Notre événement, dans une dimension multilatérale, analysera l'étude du rôle joué par les pays d’Afrique du Nord et d'Afrique subsaharienne à l'effort de guerre de la France en général, en particulier la contribution des troupes coloniales aux combats menés sur le sol métropolitain.

  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.
