    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.

    Feeding the war: produce, transport, consume (1914-1920)

    Le Centre international de recherche de l’Historial de la Grande Guerre (CIRHGG, Péronne) organise une école d'été du 29 juin au 4 juillet 2020. Elle réunira un groupe international de 20 à 30 jeunes chercheurs, travaillant sur l’histoire militaire, culturelle, sociale et économique de la première guerre mondiale. Au cours de la semaine passée ensemble, ils auront l’occasion d’échanger entre eux, mais également avec un grand nombre de chercheurs plus expérimentés sur le sujet de l'approvisionnement de la guerre (production, transport, consommation).
