Empires, Nations and Private Lives
This book brings together a series of papers presented at a University of Montreal interdisciplinary conference held in March 2014 and devoted to various little-known facets of the First World War’s cultural and social history. The commemorative activities of the war’s centennial triggered the conference, as this anniversary had precipitated a lively renewal of historical reflections on the causes and consequences of this global conflict. If the commemoration was an occasion to foster a more civic-minded pedagogical approach regarding the meaning of this major historical event, the conference itself strove to engage the rich and substantial body of research about the war that had evolved...

Génocide des Arméniens (Le)
Entre 1915 et 1916, ce sont près de 1 500 000 Arméniens ottomans qui perdent la vie. Parmi les innombrables violences perpétrées au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale, leur extermination constitue l’épisode le plus sanglant touchant des populations civiles. Voici, pour la première fois, non seulement l’histoire, mais aussi la « géographie » exhaustive du génocide, région par région.

Medieval and Early Modern Performance in the Eastern Mediterranean
On the large eastern edge of the Mediterranean, the period from the start of the Crusades through the Ottoman era knew - and brought into mutual contact - a truly remarkable array of performances and performers, of a multitude of types.

This book represents a preliminary attempt to lay out and analyse a broad set of performance genres in this particular geographical setting.
Goodbye, Antoura
“This searing account of a little boy wrenched from family and innocence” during the Armenian genocide “is a literary gem” (Financial Times). When World War I began, Karnig Panian was only five years old, living among his fellow Armenians in the Anatolian village of Gurin. Four years later, American aid workers found him at an orphanage in Antoura, Lebanon. He was among nearly a thousand Armenian and four hundred Kurdish children who had been abandoned by the Turkish administrators, left to survive at the orphanage without adult care. This memoir offers the extraordinary story of what he endured in those years—as his people were deported from their Armenian community, as his family...
