Abstract

Cet ouvrage collectif se propose d'interroger le processus de nationalisation des sociétés européennes dans le contexte de la guerre : est-ce le succès de cette nationalisation qui explique le succès de la mobilisation en 1914 ? Est-ce que la maximisation tant de fois décrites de l'État au cours de la guerre accélère cette nationalisation ? De fait, cette réflexion s'inscrit dans une socio-histoire de l'État qui, à la suite de Gérard Noiriel, s'intéresse davantage aux processus et aux acteurs qu'aux structures et aux règlements. C'est pourquoi, l'ouvrage se déploie en deux temps qui correspondent à deux cercles concentriques au sein desquels gravitent des acteurs différenciés. Le regard est d'abord porté au plus près du noyau dur de l'action étatique en interrogeant, d'une part, les modes de participation au conflit et d'autre part, le travail d'administration des populations civiles et militaires.

Abstract

History and Representation in Ford Madox Ford's Writings explores the idea of history across various genres: fiction, autobiography, books about places and cultures, criticism, and poetry. 'I wanted the Novelist in fact to appear in his really proud position as historian of his own time', wrote Ford. The twenty leading specialists assembled for this volume consider his writing about twentieth-century events, especially the First World War; and also his representations of the past, particularly in his fine trilogy about Henry VIII and Katharine Howard, The Fifth Queen . Ford's provocative dealings with the relationship between fiction and history is shown to anticipate postmodern thinking about historiography and narrative. The collection includes essays by two acclaimed novelists, Nicholas Delbanco and Alan Judd, assessing Ford's grasp of literary history, and his place in it.

Abstract

During the First World War, the parliaments of the states involved in the conflict were, in most cases, forced to drastically limit their activity and were often precluded the possibility of fully exercising their prerogatives. More generally the spaces of freedom granted to the citizens, of which the parliamentary institution was the brightest symbol, shrank dramatically. At the same time, the power of military commands expanded, not only in trenches and on battlefields, but also in many areas of civilian life. However, in the final years of the war, the Parliaments succeeded not only in gradually regaining control, but also in pushing for an extension of their functions, initiating a process that in many states coincided with the transition from a liberal order to a full democratic order. The years of the "long" postwar period were however dense with contradictions. Legislative and executive law often grew together, while in some cases the imperative logic imposed for a long time in wartime re-emerged and consolidated. This volume, which examines several national cases, illustrates some of the ambivalent features of this dramatic phase of European history.

Abstract

The dramatic involvement of the Tsarist Empire in the First World War marks a turning point in the history of Russia and its surrounding areas. The dynamics triggered by the challenge of total mobilization gave rise to political, social, economic and cultural transformations destined to have a profound and prolonged impact on Europe and the whole world during the 20-th century. The studies and the researches collected in this volume explore key themes of the crisis that hit the imperial space: the patriotic culture and the representation of the enemy in war propaganda; the interweaving of war effort and national issues in the imperial peripheries; the intensified competition between the multiethnic empires in the context of total war; the breakthrough achieved by nationalisms during the 1917 revolutions. Special attention is also devoted to the analysis of the international historiographical trends that have emerged in the last quarter of a century and which have redefined the interpretation of the period 1914-1921 / 22.

Abstract

Kurt Freiherr von Lersner diente von 1914 bis 1918 als Verbindungsoffizier zwischen der Reichsleitung und dem Großen Hauptquartier. Ihm wurden in dieser Funktion auch Sonderaufträge anvertraut. 1919 wurde er der deutschen Friedensdelegation in Versailles zugeteilt und nach Friedensschluss Präsident der deutschen Friedensdelegation in Versailles und Paris. Über diese spannenden Jahre schrieb er Anfang der 1930er Jahre Erinnerungen, die hier erstmals veröffentlicht werden. Obwohl Lersner in der zweiten Reihe der damaligen Entscheidungsträger stand, hatte er tiefe Einblicke in die Kämpfe, die sich zwischen militärischer und politischer Führung des Deutschen Reiches abspielten.
