Full textSolidarity is a phenomenon that pushes people to help each other. We have defined it as "a homogeneous group of individuals who come together to face an adversity". After a study on pre-war natural disasters (earthquakes in southern Italy in december 1908 and in southern France in june 1909), we noted points of convergence between the solidarity needs expressed there and those that can be found during the First World War: high mortality, search for the missing, many wounded, presence of people in need of refuge, and finally the intervention of the French Red Cross. This observation is all the more important as it was on these bases that solidarity was organized during the Great War. The First World War began with a disaster, to which France, against all expectations at the time, was not ready. The first few months see all the elements mentioned above appear. This was not planned, and requires the intervention of the people « at the rear » to get out of this situation. At the beginning of 1915, a war solidarity society gradually established itself. The State progressively, regulated the phenomenon, and this leads, because of charity scams, to a series of laws covering the whole of society. As we went along, we detailed the main solidarity phenomena that are specific to each year, and demonstrated a real increase in the phenomenon throughout the conflict, of which the massive involvement of the American Red Cross is one of the highlights

Full textThis dissertation examines the social impact of World War I in the Ottoman Empire on ordinary poor Turkish women and their everyday response to the adverse wartime conditions and the state policies concerning them. Based on new archival sources giving detailed information about the voice, experience and agency of these women and based on the history from below approach, this study focuses on poor, underprivileged and working Turkish women’s everyday experiences, especially their struggle against and perception of wartime conditions, mobilization and state policies about them. By doing so, it contributes to filling the great gap in late Ottoman historiography and women’s studies, which rarely examine ordinary women and their everyday problems and struggles for survival and rights. First, it scrutinizes how ordinary women experienced the war and argues that, in contrast to the modernization accounts that overlook women’s sufferings at the cost of post-war developments in women’s rights and liberties, ordinary Turkish women had great difficulties during the war years. It presents a major caveat to the accounts accepting the war years as a period during which Turkish women monolithically experienced a gradual liberty and « emancipation. » Second, it brings the unexamined forms and aspects of women’s critical and subjective views, their everyday politics to circumvent the adverse conditions and state policies, to make their voices heard, to pursue their rights, and to receive government support into the light
Bu doktora tezi Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nın sıradan yoksul Türk kadınları üzerindeki sosyal etkilerini ve kadınların olumsuz savaş koşullarına ve kendileriyle ilgili devlet politikalarına yönelik tavırlarını incelemektedir. Kadınların sesleri, deneyimleri ve tarihsel rolleri hakkında detaylı bilgiler veren yeni arşiv kaynaklarına ve aşağıdan tarih yaklaşımına dayanan bu tez yoksul, temel sosyal haklardan yoksun ve çalışan Türk kadınlarının gündelik deneyimlerine, özellikle de savaş koşulları, seferberlik ve devlet politikalarını algılayış ve bunlarla mücadele biçimlerine odaklanmaktadır. Dolayısıyla, bu tez, sıradan kadınları ve onların gündelik problemleriyle hayatta kalma ve hak mücadelelerini çok az inceleyen Osmanlı tarihçiliği ve kadın araştırmalarındaki büyük bir boşluğu doldurmaya katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu tez, bu anlamda, iki temel temaya odaklanmaktadır. Öncelikle, sıradan kadınların savaşı nasıl deneyimlediklerini mercek altına almakta ve onların çektikleri acıları savaş sonrası kadın hak ve özgürlüklerindeki ve üst ve orta sınıf eğitimli kadınların etkinlik ve deneyimlerindeki gelişmelerin bir bedeli olarak algılayıp gözden kaçıran modernleşmeanlatılarının tersine sıradan kadınların savaş yıllarında büyük güçlükler çektiğini savunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma, Türk kadınlarının savaş yıllarında bütün olarak görece bir “özgürleşme” yaşadıklarını kabul eden anlatılara önemli bir uyarıdır. İkincil olarak, bu tez, kadınların zorluklarla gündelik mücadelelerine odaklanarak kadınların eleştirel ve öznel tutumlarının ve olumsuz koşullar ve devlet politikalarından kaçmak, seslerini duyurmak, haklarının peşine düşmek ve destek görebilmek amaçlı gündelik politikalarının keşfedilmemiş biçim ve yönlerini gün ışığına çıkarmaktadır

Full textThis study intends to explore how German occupation during the Great War redefines socialconfigurations and interdependencies among civilian populations. Analyzing a limited arealike Aisne provides us an opportunity of drilling in social reality, from mezzo to micro scale.Comparing experiences within the 'département', on the basis of numerous accounts gathered,allows us to outline the contours of a specific violence during military occupation which is notonly the violence of German armies. The perception of municipal governments accounts for anew balance of power at local level : mayors, considered by occupier as the only legalauthorities, have to define with him acceptable ways of cooperation. At the same time, theymust renew their practices to respond to social emergencies and orders of Germancommanders. Finally, at the individual level, strategies and perceptions of civilians areexamined as those of social actors within local communities. This brings us to gauge both theextent of tensions and the duplicity towards occupying authority, duplicity which does notexclude different types of meetings and agreements with enemy soldiers

Full textThe Centenary of the First World War (WWI) shows a desire to commemorate, and more generally, a social phenomenon which questions the traces of this conflict in social thought. The aim of our thesis is to question the way which the emblematic figure of the soldier of the Great War is today thought, illustrated, anchored, commemorated in European and French context. We support the hypothesis that the social representation of the soldier from WWI plays an emblematic role in the transmission of the collective memory of the Great War. Difficult living conditions in the trenches, the physical and psychological trauma characterize this conflict and highlight the victimhood (Rimé, Bouchat, Klein & Licata, 2015). The social construction of memories linked to a historical event is part of a framework referring to a social identity (Haas & Jodelet, 2007; Jodelet & Haas, 2019). Do we have a homogeneous representation of the Great War in Europe and in France in particular? Three sources of results will allow us to illustrate our research: A first series of results came from the European Project Nemex COST Action 1205 (Bouchat, Licata, Rosoux & Klein, 2017, 2019) on the collective memory of WWI events via a sample (N=2525) of students from 16 countries. We performed a secondary analysis of two scales (emotional and representational) on the 14-18 soldier from his own country or from an enemy country. There is a significant difference in responses depending on the nationality of the participants and the status of their country during the WWI: formerly belligerent countries (more emphatic) versus neutral (more negative). On the other hand, a common tendency of responses converges towards a consensual representation of the enemy.A second phase aims to try to determine if there is a possible inter-regional differentiation of the social representation of the soldier in France. For this, a questionnaire was distributed to 14 French universities (N=884). The first results indicate an apparent homogeneity of the responses, a sort of national image of the soldier. However, certain factors (heroism, patriotism, voluntary and hatred of enemies) present significant intra-group variations illustrating a difference between the North-East and the Center-East / South. Finally, a qualitative and lexicometric analysis is implemented. First, the analysis of a sample of articles (N=48) from the French site “centenaire.org” (Label Mission Centenaire 14-18). Then, the creation of an analysis grid allowed us to study the images (N=285) published on the same site. Our approach allowed us to test the hypothesis of the existence of a singular representation of the war according to the geographical location of the region concerned. On the one hand, the Grand-Est characterized by a memory of the front locally anchored across the landscapes marked forever. On the other, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, representative of the active rear in the decisive role where the memory passes by the reappropriation of testimonies

Full textThis work offers an in-depth study of French soldiers’ discourse in the Trench Press (written by soldiers for soldiers) during the First World War. In the early beginning of the war, the public space is shaped by the sacred Union speech delivered by Raymond Poincaré, President of France. This constitutive speech (Grésillon & Maingueneau) builds an hegemonic discourse (Angenot) that becomes the only one that can be told in the public space at least until 1916. Between propaganda and censorship, is it possible to produce a counter-speech, an argumentation against the sacred Union and every representation (soldiers are happy and brave heroes ready to make the sacrifice of their life, german are barbarians, etc.) that comes with it? We first built a corpus of five journals (for about a half million words) which allow us to use textometric tools that offers, among other things, different angles of reading. By investing the argumentative dimension theory (Amossy) that sees discourse as a way, not only to convince but also, to show a point of view, our work is trying to reveal if the Trench Press can be consider as a counter-speech. To do so, we explore different paths such as the enunciative heterogeneity (Authier-Revuz) to see how and why the dominant discourse is exposed in the Trench press

Le présent travail propose d'étudier le lieu de mémoires plurielles qu'est le Saillant d'Ypres dans une optique transnationale, de 1914 à nos jours. Le Saillant d'Ypres, situé en Flandre occidentale, fut l'un des secteurs les plus meurtriers du front de l'Ouest. Il a été défendu presqu'exclusivement par les troupes impériales britanniques et est devenu un haut lieu de mémoire impérial à l'étranger, dès 1914. Sorti entièrement détruit de quatre années de combats, le Saillant avait acquis une dimension symbolique forte et devint dès 1919 un centre majeur de tourisme et de pèlerinage vers les champs de bataille. Les populations locales, attachées à leur patrimoine historique, voulurent reconstruire un cadre de vie familier lors de leur retour d'exil. La ville médiévale d'Ypres devint un véritable carrefour entre différentes identités et mémoires collectives. Les locaux souhaitaient la voir renaître de ses cendres, telle qu'elle était avant 1914. Cependant de nombreuses voix, britanniques mais aussi belges et françaises, s'élevèrent en vue d'une préservation, au moins partielle, de ses ruines. Les débats concernant sa reconstruction illustrent l'incompatibilité des projets mémoriels concernant Ypres, de même que l'incapacité du Gouvernement belge à canaliser les volontés locales. Le Saillant fut finalement reconstruit presqu'entièrement à l'identique, mais reste visiblement marqué par les lieux de mémoire de la Grande Guerre, essentiellement britanniques. L'étude, sur le long terme, du tourisme de guerre, permet de mettre en évidence les évolutions physiques et imaginaires de ce paysage hautement significatif, au rythme des démobilisations culturelles. Les préparatifs du centenaire du conflit, sur lesquels nous concluons cette étude, montrent que l'harmonie n'est toujours pas au rendez-vous malgré un pacifisme omniprésent dans les commémorations de 1914-1918. Enjeux symboliques, identitaires et économiques se mêlent encore dans ce paysage reconstruit, mais ayant conservé sa puissance évocatrice d'un conflit terminé il y a maintenant un siècle.

Full textWhen the United States entered World War I in April 1917, many Americans quickly rallied to support the nation. Among the numerous committees, organizations, and individuals that became active in the mobilization process were the forty-eight state councils of defense. Encouraged to form by President Wilson and his administration in the days and weeks following U.S entry in the war, the state councils grew as offshoots of the Council of National Defense and assisted in bringing every section of the country into a single scheme of work. Everyone was expected to do their part in WWI, whether they were fighting overseas or helping on the home front. The state councils, broken down into various sections and county, township, and high-school level councils, made sure that this was the case by reaching down into local communities and encouraging individuals to become involved in the war effort. Their work represented the embodiment of a “total war” philosophy and, yet, studies on these organizations are surprisingly scarce, giving readers an inadequate understanding of the American home front during the conflict. This thesis therefore places the focus directly on the state councils and examines the work they undertook to make the United States ready for, and most effective in wartime service. In particular, it explores the efforts of the Educational Section of the Indiana State Council of Defense. By concentrating on this one section, readers may gain a better understanding of the lengths that the state councils went to in order to put every person – teachers and students included – on a wartime footing.

Full textThis work is limited in space and time with the object of study the county of Setúbal during World War I (1914-1918). Historically overviewing the impacts of the conflict in Portugal, Setúbal is revisited between the end of nineteenth century and the beginnings of the twentieth century to portray politically, economically, socially and culturally one of the biggest portuguese cities between the end of the constitutional monarchy and the beginning of the First Republic. By studying the political, economic and social impacts of the Great War, this research promotes the rediscovery of the everyday experiences of Setúbal during one of the darkest periods in human history. By analyzing the mechanisms of action and municipal intervention, and also the election results and local political parties, it is transmitted how were experienced significant events of the public life in Portugal, namely 14 May 1915 and the sidonista revolution, stressing as anarchic and union worker’s dimensions lived with conservative, catholic and monarchists groups. By understanding how the economics of war worked, agrarian world is addressed in sectors including orange, cork and wine, focusing its attention on issues related to fruit decay and the creation of new export markets in the House José Maria da Fonseca. One of the epicenters of this dissertation is the canned fish industry, which experienced a boom during this period because of the intense foreign necessities of the allied countries, which saw the canned tins as food for the troops in the trenches. Consequently, addresses the role of the local port structure in response to the british, french and italian consumer needs. Finally, the social impacts of the conflict in Setubal ends the themes studied in this research, understanding how a divided press on the issue interventionism versus antiinterventionism was the reflection of a county that lived like few others the crisis of supply and the high costs of living. The proliferation of strikes and protests against the war, military defections and collective assaults represent the culmination of a volcano that erupted and still suffered the hardships of the pneumonic flu epidemic until the end of the year 1918.

Full textThis thesis examines a group of German intellectuals and politicians who, during World War I, formulated and proposed a democratic ideology based on their interpretation of the German Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant and integrated his ideas with those of Karl Marx, the father of modern socialism. Their theory was an attempt to legitimize democracy in Germany at a time when democratic reforms came to the forefront of German politics. These thinkers advocated a non-revolutionary foundation for social democracy by emphasizing the role of human reason and agency in the process of democratization. Because they had abandoned the need for revolution, which most early nineteenth-century socialists believed was socialism’s ‘final goal,’ these thinkers were known as revisionists. The revisionists’ primary medium through which they espoused their views of social democracy was the journal Sozialistische Monatshefte, which ran from 1893 until 1933. The timeframe on which this argument focuses is the last two years of World War I, when Germany’s failure achieve a victor’s peace opened new avenues for the center-left of the political spectrum to achieve democratic reform. The revisionists sought to carry forward the process of democratization, and by doing so, reconnected with the ideas of the Enlightenment.
