«Call for posters - Summer Institute
INITIATIONS? THE EXPERIENCE OF MODERN WAR (1853-2013)
Organized by:
- International Research Center, Historial de la Grande Guerre (Péronne,
France)
- Institut Historique Allemand (Paris, France)
- Université Blaise Pascal / CHEC (Clermont-Ferrand, France)
- EHESS (Paris, France)
- Université Picardie Jules Verne (Amiens, France)
- Université du Luxembourg (Luxembourg)
In partnership with:
- Université franco-allemande
- Mission du centenaire
From June 30 to July 5, 2014, the Historial de la Grande Guerre will host
both an international conference and a Summer Institute for young
researchers at the masters and doctoral levels.
The conference, “Initiations? First Moments in the First World War,” will
be held from June 30 to July 2. The Summer Institute will run from June 30
through July 5.
The conference welcomes 30 specialists of the First World War, and the
Institute provides the opportunity for 30 young scholars to join them in
Péronne.
The Summer Institute seeks to broaden the themes introduced by the
conference by widening the temporal scope to include all modern conflicts,
from the Crimea through the wars of the 21st century.
Beginnings, foundational experiences, initiations, inaugural
practices—each of these terms opens different frames for possible
interpretation. By encouraging analysis at both the individual and
collective level, the goal of the conference—and, more broadly, of the
summer institute—is to rethink wartime experiences. How do historical
actors use their first experience in these “modern” conflicts to perceive,
endure, and, later, “construct” their war?
We hope to encourage social and cultural histories that are intrinsically
comparative and open to the influence of other fields in the social
sciences—such as anthropology, psychology, and law.
Behind the question of the “initiation” to modern war, is thus an
interrogation of the “power of beginnings.” The Institute will endeavor to
place the Great War within the longer history of modern conflicts.
Requirements
Interested students should submit: a *one-page summary* of their relevant
current research; and a one-page CV. Those selected for the summer
institute will participate in all scheduled events and will also present a
poster (in A1 format, this equals 841 mm x 594 mm or 23.4 Inches x 33.1
Inches). A tutorial for the realization of posters will be provided.
Contributions and posters that examine questions related to “other fronts”
are encouraged.
The working languages of the Institute will be French, English, and German.
Participants must be fluent in one of these languages and have a good
knowledge of at least one of the others.
The age limit for consideration is 35. Candidates must be enrolled as
masters or doctoral candidates at an accredited university.
25 candidates will be selected from this call. The five remaining spots
will be filled by this year’s winners of the Gerda Henkel research grant
from the International Research Center.
The date for submission of abstracts is *31 March 2014*, by email, to:
