Colloque à l’Université de Lorraine, Metz, 15-17 janvier 2026
Il y a plus de dix ans déjà, le philosophe Étienne Balibar estimait que la notion de peuple et ses usages constituaient « un sujet qu’on pourrait croire labouré en tous sens » [Balibar, 2013]. La thématique était cependant revenue sur le devant de la scène après la vague révolutionnaire du « Printemps arabe », comme le révéla la succession de publications scientifiques qui lui ont été consacrées dans les années 2010 [Berns et Carré, 2013 ; Moreau, 2015 ; Goin et Provenzano, 2016 et 2017].
Symposium at the University of Tours/France from 27 to 28 November 2025
The industrialization has profoundly transformed the world of labor and the nature of war. Wars themselves have become industrialized and have gradually increased in scale since the mid-nineteenth century. The Crimean War (1853-1856) and the American Civil War (1861-1865) were the first conflicts involving mechanized armies: more powerful gunboats, larger caliber artillery pieces and more efficient locomotives were all industrial products that made this change in scale possible.
