Écrire l’histoire du Déluge. Histoire et expérience britanniques de la Grande Guerre

Histoire@Politique, 22, Janvier – Avril 2014

La Première Guerre mondiale demeure, cent ans après le déclenchement du conflit, au cœur du récit national britannique et continue de provoquer des débats virulents. Dans ce contexte, l’historiographie de l’expérience britannique du conflit se distingue par un dynamisme et une ouverture disciplinaire renforcés par l’internationalisation de ce champ d’étude. La recherche se concentre désormais sur l’adaptation de la société et de l’armée britanniques aux conditions nouvelles de la guerre industrielle. Trois questions majeures traversent donc la production scientifique : celle de la transformation de l’appareil militaire britannique ; la mobilisation de la société et de l’économie de la Grande-Bretagne ; l’impact et les legs de la Grande Guerre outre-Manche.

Back in October, I opened my first-year seminar discussions with remarks I had often found myself repeating over the years. I thought it might be useful to share them during our first meetings; to establish a set of principles and expectations which are not always made clear to university students.

Since feedback from both students and colleagues has been rather positive, I decided to share this on my blog. Bear in mind this was simply meant to serve as a memo for my first class with Year 1 History students. It turned out to be much longer than planned and it was never intended for publication. It is pretty rough and frank, but I hope it might be of some use to students and colleagues within and outside Warwick.
