Conference, symposium - Law

The Great War and law

S'inscrivant dans les nombreuses activités scientifiques liées à la commémoration du centenaire de la première guerre mondiale, ce colloque, organisé par le Centre lyonnais d'histoire du droit et de la pensée politique, entend plus spécifiquement mesurer l’impact de ce phénomène sans précédent sur le droit et ses acteurs (entendus au sens large : législateur, juges et juristes).

The battles of 1916

L’année 1916 est celle des grandes batailles industrielles de la guerre : celles de Verdun (février-décembre) et de la Somme (juillet-novembre). Elles mobilisent les économies, les industries, l’ensemble des sociétés, devenant un enjeu central de l’effort de guerre et elles engagent des millions d’hommes. L’objet du colloque de trois jours est d’interroger la notion de « bataille » dans cette perspective internationale et intermodale. Trois grands thèmes ont été retenus : construire la bataille, expérimenter la bataille, alimenter la bataille.

France at war: five "terrible years"

1792-1793 / 1814-1815 / 1870-1871 / 1914-1915 / 1939-1940

Le colloque a pour enjeu de discuter la notion « d’année terrible » au sens hugolien du terme à travers cinq temps courts au cours desquels la nation a été confrontée à la guerre, à la défaite militaire, parfois à la guerre civile et aux sentiments d’échecs, de décadence et de division. Dans une optique comparatiste, il explore les expériences du basculement dans la guerre.

Conference, symposium - History

Commemorating the Battle of the Somme in Anglophone and Germanophone countries

Les journées consacrées au premier centenaire de la Bataille de la Somme s’inscriront dans une approche comparée des résonances qu’engendre le choc initial au sein des populations des deux grands protagonistes : le Royaume-Uni et l’Allemagne. Ce sont en effet leurs troupes qui s’affrontent principalement le 1er juillet 1916, véritable point de bascule de la guerre pour la Grande-Bretagne et son empire.

Commemoration, Re-enactment, Writings of War in the English-speaking World (XVIIIth-XXIst century)

The wars of the past have not left the same imprint on collective memory. Wars of conquest or liberation have marked the history of the British Empire and its colonies in different ways. American foreign policy seems to be motivated by what is sometimes viewed as an imperialist vision which led the army into the quagmire of Vietnam and more recently into controversial involvement in the Gulf. Whether they end in victory or defeat, or are a source of patriotic pride or collective shame, wars are commemorated in museum exhibitions or through literature and the cinema in which the threads of ideological discourse and the expression of subjective experience are intertwined. In the wake of the 100^th anniversary of the Great War, when the links between memory and history are central to historiographical preoccupations, this international conference will encompass the representations of wars in the English-speaking world during the 18^th, 19^th, 20^th and 21^st centuries.

Study days - History

Spies, counterspies and spying in WWI

La première guerre mondiale est l’occasion d’une expérience d’occupation militaire longue de territoires appartenant aux États belligérants ou envahis. L’espionnage devient une préoccupation, tant des occupants que des occupés et les quatre années voient évoluer les modes de recrutements, les techniques, les modes opératoires, le profil individuel et social des agents ainsi que l'ampleur des réseaux constitués. Les participants à la journée d'études veulent se pencher de manière transnationale sur ce laboratoire qu'a pu constituer l'occupation de la Belgique et du Nord de la France. Partant d'activités menées avec un amateurisme sensible, il s'agira d'observer, au fil de la dramatisation d'une guerre qui dure, la professionnalisation du « métier » d'espion et les jeux de brouillages complexes entre espionnage et contrespionnage, patriotisme ou opportunisme, chez les civils et militaires, hommes et femmes impliqués dans le « grand jeu ».

Time - a contemporary history of a political and scientific issue

Histoire contemporaine d’un enjeu politique et scientifique

Ce colloque a pour objectif de rassembler des chercheurs abordant dans leurs travaux historiques la question de l’action sur les temporalités, lorsque le temps est une catégorie explicitement utilisée (long-terme, simultanéité, attente, élaboration de séquences temporelles). Il entend dépasser l’étude du temps et des temporalités comme simple cadre ou arrière-plan de l’évolution historique des sociétés, pour encourager une historicisation du temps comme catégorie d’action à l’époque contemporaine.

Rock and Violence in Europe (1950's-1980's)

This event is the first of two conferences, the second of which will take place in 2019 under the sponsorship of the History department at California State University, Long Beach. The first component, at Rouen, concentrates on Europe, while the second part, on the same theme, will focus on the situation in the Americas. The purpose of these two events is to gain an understanding of the place of rock in contemporary culture and to define its significance and impact in our societies. From this starting point, the conferences will also endeavor to consider the part of legend that encompasses the myth of rock music. The association between rock and violence, however fantastical and artificially constructed, is a given which has penetrated the music's history during the second part of the twentieth century; in some ways, the recent dramatic events at the Bataclan have highlighted this in an extremely tragic manner.

Asylum, exile and the politics of trans-border solidarity in the contemporary Commonwealth

The aim of this workshop is to investigate how and why the Commonwealth might be in a position to offer analytical tools, and perhaps articulate policies, to meet some of the challenges posed by the forced displacement of people as a consequence of systematic repression, human rights abuses and the armed conflicts of various types which have dislocated the political, economic and social fabric of a number of societies.

Accidents and the role of the State in the 20th century

In the workshop on "Accidents and the role of the state" we want to discuss, from a historical perspective, the changing relationship between accidents and the modern state during the 20^th century. Strasbourg)-FRIAS (Freiburg) joint research project on military accidents in France and Germany in the twentieth century. We are therefore especially interested in proposals that deal with the role of the military. However, relevant topics for the workshop could, of course, also come from the realm of the histories of technology, of environment, of medicine, or of the rise of the modern state. We are interested both in presentations of case studies as well as in more conceptual approaches on the topic. Contributions that deal with accidents in German and French history are highly welcome. However, the call is by no means limited to historians of France or Germany.

Péronne | Verdun

Summer School - History

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.

Occupied Societies in Western Europe: Conflict and Encounter in the 20th Century

The history of Western Europe in the first half of the 20th Century was shaped by numerous contradictions: by conflicts and interdependencies, proximity and distance, violence and co-operation. Many of these elements can be identified in the structures and dynamics of Western European societies under German occupation. After all, the relationship between occupiers and the occupied cannot simply be reduced to "collaboration" and "resistance", in contrast to the suggestions of an older historiography.

Order in War. Gendarmeries and Police facing WWI

During the First World War, as peacetime economies were transformed into war-focused production systems, European law- enforcement agencies had to adapt to new conditions. The wartime reorganizations of police forces need to be understood comparatively. The First World War set a series of similar requirements in all European countries at war and, to some extent, in some neutral countries also. This conference aims to open new perspectives rather than bringing full and final responses. This is a particularly broad, complex and new historiographic field: the history of law enforcement institutions in Europe in a specific context - specifically total war, the kind of conflict that significantly fostered forms of disorder. We will focus particularly on the diversity of forces, from military to civil police, posted or not on the front line, in belligerent or neutral countries, in metropoles or empires.

Italy’s Decade of War: 1935-1945 in International Perspective

From the invasion of Abyssinia to the end of World War II, Italy experienced a decade of war. This conference aims to re-evaluate the history of the Italian experience during this ten-year period with a unifying perspective that places the Italian Fascist regime and its foreign and military enterprises in an entirely internationalised framework of analysis. It will bring an international focus upon the Italian role in the break-down of the international system and appeasement, and will analyse the consequences of Italian militarism on a global scale. It will explore comparative and transnational histories of the Italian occupations of France, the Balkans, Greece, and Albania, as well as the Allied occupation of Italy following the defeat.

The architecture and urban planning of post-WWI reconstruction in the Lorraine region

L'objectif de ce colloque est d'avoir une meilleure connaissance du patrimoine issu de la Première reconstruction afin d'alimenter la réflexion sur sa conservation, sa restauration, sa mise en valeur voire sa protection au titre des monuments historiques. Le colloque est à destination du plus grand nombre car il s'agit d'un patrimoine fragile, souvent mal pris en compte dans les documents d'urbanisme. Ce colloque réunira des chercheurs débutants ou confirmés en histoire de l'art et de l'architecture, des architectes, des professionnels de la conservation, de la restauration et de la valorisation.

The Allied Occupation of Germany Revisited

New Research on the Western Zones of Occupation, 1945-1949

The Allied occupation of Western Germany after the Second World War has long constituted a classic component in academic histories of post-war Germany. After having been the subject of sustained scholarly attention in the 1970s and 1980s, the subject has subsequently faced a decline in academic interest. This two-day conference is intended to showcase new research and provide a forum for the presentation of innovative approaches to the history of the three western zones of occupation. It also aims to stimulate dialogue between historians of the different zones of occupation and so bring together hitherto almost entirely segregated historiographies. We are inviting papers from both emerging scholars and established specialists.

At war with words

Letters, journals and memories of soldiers, women and children during the First World War

Quels sont les sentiments, les perceptions et les attitudes mentales des soldats, mais aussi des civils, des femmes, des enfants, durant la guerre ? Quelles sont leurs stratégies de résistance psychologique à cette déstabilisante expérience ? On peut tenter de répondre à ces questions en se tournant vers l'ample typologie de textes produits par les combattants et la population civile « mobilisée » : lettres, journaux et mémoires qui – encore en partie enfouis dans des tiroirs de famille ou conservés dans des archives d'écriture populaire – expriment des potentialités narratives considérables, mais revêtent aussi d'une part, un fort intérêt historiographique et linguistique. Ce colloque a pour but de se confronter aux questions méthodologiques encore ouvertes, présentant des textes particulièrement significatifs et des résultats de recherche dans ce domaine en croisant les approches scientifiques sur les écrits des soldats des divers fronts en Europe durant le conflit.

Resistance and Empire, new approaches and comparisons

Since the early twentieth century, the notion of resistance became common currency in colonial language and anti-colonial ideologies to refer to military, political, and other forms of countering the authority of the colonizing institutions and agents in the colonies. After World War II and the boom of decolonization, it became an important tool in the critical and conceptual analysis of colonialism as a relationship of domination and opposition. Consequently, a wealth of studies was produced that focused on the ways though which indigenous people actively opposed, rebelled, or contested – militarily, politically, symbolically, culturally – the colonizing presence of Europeans. In the 1990s-2000s the validity of taking on “resistance” as a privileged concept and empirical topic was criticized for reducing the colonial phenomenon to a simplistic dichotomy – and since it appeared to have lost much of its early vitality in historical and anthropological research on empires and colonialism. Yet, since decolonization, ideas of “liberation” and anti-colonial resistance did not lose their significance as powerful tropes in retrospective nationalist readings of the birth of post- colonial nation-states. More recently, across the social sciences, “resistance” as a concept and a research trope seems to be revived, and a trans-disciplinary field of ‘resistance studies’ appears to come into emergence. What it means to study “resistance” both conceptually and comparatively in colonial and imperial history today?
