Franco-British network on cultural relations

这一建议旨在对过去世纪英国和法国之间的文化关系提供新的认识。它将把英吉利海峡两岸一些学科的学者聚集在一个研究网络中。在短期内，这将导致两个讲习班和由此产生的出版物。一个将研究两国在第二次世界大战的艰难岁月中的文化关系。另一个将集中在动荡的20世纪20年代和30年代两国文学和艺术先锋之间的交流。从长远来看，该网络将处理自世纪末以来的各种文化关系，促进共同理解和新的见解。这一网络的重要作用是加强英法两国学术界之间的合作，其两年活动的结果将是更好地了解文化关系在实践中如何运作。跨学科的方法将使人们更清楚地了解不同因素如何结合联合收割机：例如，政府政策、体制框架和商业利益如何与知识和艺术发展相互作用。从事文化关系研究的更广泛的学术界，以及对法英关系特别感兴趣的更广泛的非专家听众。所要求的资金将使该网络能够设立一个秘书处，在英国举办两个研讨会，以配合新兴网络的法国成员正在计划的平行研讨会。

This proposal aims to throw new light on the cultural relationship between Britain and France over the past century. It will bring together scholars from a number of disciplines on both sides of the English Channel in a research network. In the short term, it will lead to two workshops and resulting publications. One will study cultural relations between the two countries during the difficult years of the Second World War. The other will focus on exchanges between the literary and artistic avant-gardes of the two countries during the turbulent 1920s and 1930s. In the longer term, the network will address a wide range of cultural relations since the end of the nineteenth century, contributing to shared understandings and new insights. It will have the important benefit of developing greater collaboration between the academic communities in Britain and France.The results of the network's activities over a two year period will be a better understanding of how cultural relations operate in practice. An interdisciplinary approach will enable a clearer understanding of how different elements combine: how, for example, government policies, institutional frameworks and commercial interests interact with intellectual and artistic developments.The network will have two overlapping audiences: the wider scholarly community engaged in researching cultural relations, and a broader non-specialist audience with particular interest in Franco-British relationships.The funding requested will enable a secretariat to be established for the network, and the holding of two workshops in Britain, to match parallel workshops that are being planned by French members of the emerging network.
