October 7 to 18, 2018 STANFORD TRAVEL/STUDY JANE ADAMS, REMEMBERING WORLD WARS I AND II, 2013 FRANCE’S WESTERN FRONT October 7 to 18, 2018 After four long years of violent fighting, trench warfare and the introduction of revolutionary battlefield technology, November 1918 saw the much-anticipated end of “The Great War.” While it completely devastated early 20th-century Europe, in many ways, World War I marked the arrival of the modern era and makes for a fascinating study. Alongside historian James Sheehan, ’58, we’ll learn about legendary battles that marred the topography of the region; major turning points such as the arrival of American troops; and the negotiations, signing and long-term impact of the Treaty of Versailles. Join us on this one-of-a-kind journey through Northern France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. BUTTE DE VAUQUOIS BRETT S.

Western Front. COVER: HÔTEL DES INVALIDES, PARIS PALACE OF VERSAILLES Faculty Leader JAMES SHEEHAN, ’58, is the Dickason Professor in the Humanities and professor emeritus of history at Stanford University. His research focuses on 19th- and 20th-century European history, specifically on the relationship between ideas and social and economic conditions in modern Europe. His most recent book, Where Have All the Soldiers Gone, examines the decline of military institutions in Europe since 1945. He is now writing a book about the rise of European states in the modern era. About this program, Jim states, “The “Jim Sheehan First World War is one of the most significant events in world history.

    Bard Graduate Center Research Guide: Ancient and Medieval China (to c. 1000 C.E.) This guide lists resources for researching the arts and material culture of ancient and medieval imperial China, to c. 1000 C.E. This time period begins with the neolithic and bronze ages (c. 4000 - 200 B.C.E.) and continues through the end of the Five Dynasties period (960 C.E.), including the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Han, and T'ang dynasties. Although art history and material archaeology resources are emphasized, research on this topic is very interdisciplinary, and some resources for history, philosophy, religion, and literature are also included in the guide. This guide was compiled by Karyn Hinkle at the Bard Graduate Center Library. Images above, left to right: a gold cup from the Warring States period, jade deer from the Zhou dynasty, a bronze wine vessel from the Shang dynasty, all described in Patricia Buckley Ebrey's Visual Sourcebook of Chinese Civilization.

    Pensées mili-terre Centre de doctrine et d’enseignement du commandement Les collections de l’armée de Terre conservées dans les musées de la défense Cahiers de la pensée mili-Terre 1 le Chef de bataillon Aude PIERNAS publié le 12/12/2017 Histoire & stratégie héritage, histoire et genèse d’un patrimoine "muséal" Après avoir précisé la génèse et la filiation des collections du musée de l’Armée et des musées d’armes, le Chef de bataillon Aude Piernas détaille les choix pris en matière d’organisation et de rationalisation, la formation nécessaire des conservateurs, et dessine une orientation possible pour répondre au défi muséal du XXIème siècle. La commémoration du centenaire de la Grande Guerre donne l’occasion aux musées de la défense de témoigner de l’action des troupes françaises en exposant les objets contemporains de cet événement historique militaire majeur. Force est de constater en visitant l’exposition «Verdun, la force aérienne»[1] que les objets présentés sont parvenus jusqu’à nous de différentes manières. Ces objets soit ont été des trophées pris à l’ennemi, soit ont été récupérés sur le champ de bataille, soit ont équipé les forces, puis ont été conservés par les unités ou ont transité dans des collections privées d’amateurs de militaria avant d’être acquis par l’un des musées de la défense. Cependant, il s’avère que cet héritage des collections militaires puise ses racines au-delà de la Première Guerre mondiale pour les musées de l’armée de Terre. Même si le musée de l’Armée fait figure de premier musée militaire, sa création et ses origines sont bien plus complexes[2] et anciennes.

  • 1 Memorials to French Colonial Soldiers from the Great War Robert
    1 Memorials to French Colonial Soldiers from the Great War Robert Aldrich, University of Sydney On 25 June 2006, at Verdun and on the ninetieth anniversary of the battle that took place there, President Jacques Chirac unveiled a memorial to Muslim soldiers who fought in the French armies during the First World War. Paying tribute to the French soldiers who died at Verdun – and also acknowledging the German losses – Chirac stated: ‘Toutes les provinces de France sont à Verdun. Toutes les origines, aussi. 70.000 combattants de l’ex-Empire français sont morts pour la France entre 1914 et 1918. Il y eut dans cette guerre, sous notre drapeau, des fantassins marocains, des tirailleurs sénégalais, algériens et tunisiens, des soldats de Madagascar, mais aussi d’Indochine, d’Asie ou d’Océanie’. Chirac did not dwell on the service of the colonial soldiers, though the only two whom he cited by name, Bessi Samaké and Abdou Assouman, were Africans who distinguished themselves in the taking of the Douaumont fort, but the event was important both for the anciens combattants and their families and communities, and for a French public that has often known or thought little about the military contributions of those whom it colonised.1 With the building of a monument to the Muslim soldiers, an ambulatory surrounding a kouba, according to Le Monde, the inauguration also gave Verdun ‘le statut de haut lieu de la mémoire musulmane de France’.2 In moving terms, the rector of the Paris mosque, Dalil Boubakeur, added of the battlefields where many Muslim soldiers had died, morts pour la France, ‘C’est là que l’Islam de France est né.

  • Museums in a Post Colonial World Plea for a Historical Critique Of
    Museums in a post colonial world Plea for a historical critique of exhibitions Museums Association Conference 2008 Liverpool, 7-10-2008 By Susan Legêne Professor of political history at VU University in Amsterdam [email protected] The subtitle of my talk is: ”plea for a historical critique of exhibitions‘ and that is indeed what I would like to do in my talk this morning. I will present four cases that review ways of how museums deal with implicit notions of nation and citizenship, of cultural heritage, ownership and belonging. We know a lot about the historical relationships between heritage formation, museum structures and nation building. But this seems hardly to feed back into current exhibition practices. We need a stronger comparative analysis framework for the present-day cultural representations of the nation which we see in many museums. Hence my plea for more attention on the historical underpinning of the story behind individual exhibitions. This requires œ what I would call œ more analysis of the present inter-exhibitional discourse1 in current exhibition practices. Like the written texts in books, the visual presentations in exhibitions also relate to each other. And the public is part of this inter-exhibitional discourse. Critics and museum staff make what is on show in Paris relevant to what happens in Amsterdam, or New York, or Kabul, Berlin, Shanghai or Singapore. Exhibitions, even museum structures are being exported from one country to another, and standards and models of representation are being negotiated. Source-critical insight into the known meaning of material culture, historical visual sources and autonomous art productions are essential to understand our own work in this field.
