Dying for France: Experiencing and Representing the Soldier's Death, 1500-2000
French Colonialism: From the Ancien Régime to the Present
France had the second largest empire in the world after Britain, but one with very different origins and purposes. Over more than four centuries, the French empire explained itself in many different ways through many different colonial regimes. Beginning in the early modern period, a vast mercantile empire based on furs and fish in the New World and sugar cultivated by the enslaved in the Caribbean rose and fell. At intervals thereafter, the Fren…

Sovereignty under the League of Nations Mandates: The Jurists’ Debates
The mandate system took shape at an inflexion point in the evolution from an international system based on rule over territories to one based on rule over peoples. Political compromises made at the Paris Peace Conference resulted in the creation of a new political agent, the League of Nations Mandate, with no clear sovereign. In seeking to systematize this political outcome, jurists located sovereignty with the victorious Great Powers, the League…
Drawing Borders in the Middle East after the Great War: Political Geography and ‘Subject Peoples’
“Subject Peoples” arrived in the language of peacemaking after the Great War primarily as a way to understand post-imperial peoples of Central and Eastern Europe. As applied to the peoples of the former Ottoman Empire, however, peoples were categorized and assigned political characteristics according to specific schools of national political geography. British, French and American political geographers demarcated the ways thinking about the peopl…

The Wilsonian Challenge to International Law
After the Great War, Woodrow Wilson challenged the foundations of international law based on fully sovereign states. “Wilsonianism” as elaborated in the Fourteen Points, and in other speeches, rested on a logic that made a universalized liberal individual the locus of sovereignty in the new world order. The truly radical implications of Wilsonianism had no sterner critic than Robert Lansing, Wilson's secretary of state and one of the founders of …
The ‘ Culture de guerre ’ and French Historiography of the Great War of 1914–1918
Since the late 1980s, the historiography of the Great War of 1914–1918 has experienced something of a renaissance, particularly among French historians and historians influenced by French historiography. Scholarship has centered around the notion of ‘war culture’ ( culture de guerre ), defined as the sum total of the means through which contemporaries understood the conflict and persuaded themselves to continue fighting it. This article focuses o…
Jean Norton Cru and combatants' literature of the First World War
Using the unpublished archives of Jean Norton Cru, held at the University of Aix-en-Provence, this article provides a new interpretation of Cru's famous book on First World War literature, Témoins, first published in 1929. This work severely criticised a large number of books of soldiers' experiences of combat. Here a new reading of Cru's motives is offered, looking in particular at the author's Protestant background as well as at the links betwe…

Paul Fussell's The Great War and Modern Memory: Twenty-five Years Later
This article probes some of the issues The Great War and Modern Memory raises today, whether by Fussell himself, by critics at the time of its original publication, or by rereading the book anew now, in the context of a veritable renaissance in the study of World War I and of the revolution effected by the "literary turn" in historical study. I situate Fussell's book against the backdrop of three foundational works or points of view in cultural h…
Citizen-Soldiers and Manly Warriors: Military Service and Gender in the Civic Republican Tradition
What happens in a tradition that links citizenship with soldiering when women become citizens? Citizen Soldiers and Manly Warriors provides an in-depth analysis of the theory and practice of the citizen-soldier in historical context. Using a postmodern feminist lens, Snyder reveals that within the citizen-soldier tradition, citizenship and masculinity are simultaneously constituted through engagement in civic and martial practices

Jean Norton Cru, lecteur des livres de guerre
Norton Cru est généralement considéré soit comme un bon, soit comme un mauvais critique de la littérature de guerre. Cet article l'envisage plutôt comme lecteur, et s'interroge sur sa façon de lire. Il tente de tenir compte à la fois de sa passion et de sa férocité dans la distinction qu'il établit entre les récits d'expériences de soldats de la Première Guerre mondiale valables et ceux qui sont sans valeur. Le protestantisme influence fortement …
Le Corps Et La Survie D'une Identité Dans Les Écrits De Guerre Français
Selon la légende, le lieutenant Jacques Péricard et ses camarades du 95erégiment d'infanterie se trouvèrent engagés dans un combat désorganisé mais fatal dans le bois d'Ailly, le 8 avril 1915. lis reprirent une partie de leur tranchée, qui avait été conquise par les Allemands, pour découvrir que leur position formait un petit redan, presque encerclé par l'ennemi. Alors que les grenades et l'artillerie commençaient à tomber autour d'eux, Péricard …
