Franco-British network on cultural relations

这一提议旨在为过去一个世纪中英法两国的文化关系提供新的视角。它将把来自英吉利海峡两岸多个学科的学者聚集在一个研究网络中。在短期内，它将导致举办两次讲习班并出版出版物。一个将研究两国在第二次世界大战困难时期的文化关系。另一个展览将聚焦于动荡的20世纪20年代和30年代两国先锋文学和艺术的交流。从长远来看，该网络将涉及19世纪末以来广泛的文化关系，有助于达成共识和新的见解。它将有一个重要的好处，那就是在英国和法国的学术界之间发展更大的合作。两年多的网络活动的结果将是更好地理解文化关系如何在实践中运作。跨学科的方法将使我们更清楚地了解不同的因素是如何结合在一起的：例如，政府政策、体制框架和商业利益如何与智力和艺术发展相互作用。该网络将有两个重叠的受众：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业受众。所要求的资金将使该网络能够设立一个秘书处，并在英国举办两个讲习班，以配合新网络的法国成员正在计划的平行讲习班。

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.
