Recent years have seen a major resurgence in war studies taking the discipline far beyond the narrow confines of operational military history. This regeneration has resulted in classical military history being accompanied by social, economic and cultural history of warfare and societies at war. This has not only been evident in the English-speaking world, but has also been seen in continental Europe. This workshop aims to capitalise on these trends concentrating in particular on the social and cultural history of armed forces between 1940 and 1975.
This workshop is organized by the research group "Histoire sociale et culturelle de l’armée française pedant la décolonisation" of the German Historical Institute in Paris (DHI Paris) as well as the European network "Armed forces in the times of decolonisation" (Paris 1 – Panthéon-Sorbonne (Dr. Raphaëlle Branche), University of Birmingham (Dr. Peter Gray), La Revue Historiques des Armées (Col. Dr. Frédéric Guelton), University of Sienna (Prof. Nicola Labanca), IHA (Dr. Steffen Prauser)).
