Call for Papers

Der Fokus dieses international postierten akademischen Treffens liegt auf der Rolle des Intellektuellen im Ersten Weltkrieg (EWK). Das Ziel besteht in der Erforschung von Strategien, die Intellektuelle, welche in den verschiedensten Bereichen und Kontexten tätig waren, entwickelten, um die Spannung, die Erschütterung und die Folgen des Großen Krieges zu verarbeiten.

To mark the centenary of the First World War, the British Commission for Military History, in Collaboration with the History of War research group of the Department of War Studies, King’s College London, and the National Army Museum, are holding a conference on the Armies of 1914.

The conference comprises a study day, to be held at King’s College London on 14 March, with a keynote address by Professor Hew Strachan of Oxford University, and a public day, taking place at the National Army Museum on Saturday 15 March.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum of debate for transnational and comparative approaches to the history of small European nations and Europe’s colonial peripheries in World War One in the context of the epochal changes brought by the collapse of large imperial states.

The History and Political Science Department at Chestnut Hill College will host an interdisciplinary conference on "The Legacy of World War One."

Keynote speakers will be Jay Winter (Yale University) and Laura Lee Downs (European University Institute, Florence, Italy).

Proposals for papers or panels are invited on any issue related to the legacy of The Great War. Papers may relate to the immediate or long-term ramifications of the war: - political, -diplomatic, -military, -social, -economic, -technological, -intellectual, -cultural, etc.

40th Congress of the International Commission of Military History

Like in former years the Educational Committee of the International Commission of Military History invites young ph.d. students to take part in a workshop for young scholars who are still working or have just finished their ph.d. thesis on a subject dealing with Socio-economic and Cultural Aspects of World War I.

The purpose of the workshop is to give young scholars the opportunity of discussing their projects with young as well as experienced colleagues from more than 40 Countries.

Nicht nur die europäische, sondern auch die außereuropäische Historiographie wird zusammen mit den Medien den hundertsten Jahrestag des Ausbruches des Ersten Weltkrieges mit einer Flut von Tagungen und Publikationen würdigen. Angesichts der immensen Bedeutung des Weltkriegs, der Europa von Grund auf veränderte, kann dieses große Interesse kaum verwundern. Große Aufmerksamkeit wird im Rahmen der Gedenkfeiern den militärischen und politischen Aspekten des Krieges zuteil werden.

On 20 october 2014, a colloquium about the local and regional history of the Great War and the context beyond the battle of 1914 will be organised at the State Archives in Mons in collaboration with the Archives and the Museum Pole of the City of Mons.

Honouring the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, the University of Calgary’s Department of History and Centre for Military and Strategic Studies invite academics and graduate students from around the world to share new scholarly work on this global conflict. The Great War has attracted no end of historiographical controversy since the guns fell silent. Historians are constantly using innovative and often inter-disciplinary methods to answer original questions, and offer new perspectives on established debates.

This conference sets out to explore the complex and diverse reverberations of the Second World War after 1945. The notion of "disturbing pasts" refers to the experience of war and violence. But the aim is to understand how and why these experiences continue to disturb a later present, and how some people later disturb an apparently dormant past.

Although historians dealing with war will inevitably be called to concentrate their attention on violence, often the understanding of how violence itself was perceived, understood, imagined and experienced by combatants and civilians is neglected. Much still needs to be said about how war was shaped by and, in turn, influenced, modern perceptions of violence.
