(Presentations and debate will begin in Boulogne-sur-Mer and continue in Ypr= es. On 30 May there will be a post-conference coach tour of the Chinese ceme= teries in Belgium and France). Date : 26-30 May 2010 Organisation: Universit=E9 du Littoral C=F4te d=92Opale, In Flanders Field M= useum With the collaboration of KU Leuven, Maison Europ=E9enne des SHS Conference language: French, English or Chinese (exceptionally) Web site: http://www.iccwww1.org/Conference-2010[1] Because of the drain on manpower arising from conscription and war casualtie= s, between 1916 and 1919 the French and British Governments employed 140,000= Chinese volunteer workers (40,000 by the French and around 100,000 by the B= ritish, known as the Chinese Labour Corps or CLC). The majority of these Chi= nese workers found themselves grouped near the frontline to carry out constr= uction and maintenance work in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais and in the Somme, wher= e they also participated in the post-war reconstruction effort. There were n= umerous camps of Chinese workers on the C=F4te d=92Opale and in the surround= ing region and the cemeteries in which their dead were buried still exist. The four towns of ULCO, Dunkirk, Boulogne, Calais and Saint-Omer, all hosted= Chinese workers=92 camps. The hazards of war and sickness which claimed the= lives of over 2,000 of the camps=92 inhabitants endures, and their sacrific= e is commemorated in local cemeteries, principally at Saint-Etienne au Mont,= Ruminghem and Noyelles. From November 1918 until the end of 1919, the Chine= se Labour Corps also played a pivotally important role in restoring battle-r= avaged areas of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Flanders, including the prelimina= ry reconstruction of Ypres, the very symbol of European post-war reconstruct= ion. In the heart of an area associated with these historic events, this conferen= ce will provide an opportunity to carry out a synthesis of research relating= to Chinese workers in the First World War. The central axes of the conferen= ce will be grouped around the theme of Chinese workers in France and Europe = during the Great War. The conference is intended to provide an opportunity t= o synthesise research about both Chinese workers under French command and th= e CLC. Contributions inviting debate about original theoretical perspectives= will be particularly welcomed, as will submissions extending beyond the con= fines of historical studies to acknowledge other academic specialisms, inclu= ding: sinology, inter-cultural studies and political science. Thematically, = the conference will address relevant aspects of the history of the Great War= ; living and working conditions of the Chinese workers; international relati= ons; education; intercultural com munication and sociology. The conference will give priority to the following topics, although the list= is not exhaustive: =95 Living and working conditions of the Chinese workers during the war. =95 The foreign and international relations policy of China: China and the W= est; bilateral relationships with France, Britain or Belgium. =95 Education, in particular approaches to adult education (the education of= Chinese workers by the YMCA and Chinese students living in France=85). =95 Intercultural exchanges between Europe and China linked to the presence = of the Chinese workers. =95 Chinese migration to France and the First World War. =95 Chinese workers in the Great War and contemporary ailments and diseases. =95 Connections between Chinese workers in the First World War, subsequent r= evolutionary activity and establishment of =91New Communist China=92. =95 Germans in China before and during the war; diplomacy and German propaga= nda. =95 Material culture of the Chinese workers, including art and artifacts (= =93trench art=94). =95 Graves of Chinese workers in the West; identification, recording and rec= ognition of Chinese casualties. =95 Oral testimony of the war and Chinese records. We particularly encourage contributions which bring to bear an original poin= t of view on the subject. Contributions relating to existing research on the= subject (evaluations, critiques, comparisons, development of themes, new so= urces, etc.) will also be particularly welcome. The abstract should not exceed 200 words, and be accompanied by a short CV (= Institution, Position, Adress, Nationality, Education, Research Interests, S= elected publications, 1 page maxi, format *.rtf ou *doc, Times New=A0 Roman = 11) both to be sent in before 30 October 2009.

This conference deals with Chinese workers that were sent to France during t= he First World War. They were recruited with the help of the YMCA in China, = and received teaching and leadership from YMCA educators. I would be very pleased if you agree to post this CFP to the H-AmRel list. ----- From: Li.Ma@univ-littoral.fr (Associate Professor, Universit=E9 du Littoral = C=F4te d=92Opale, ULCO, France) Dear Colleagues, We would like to inform you of the: International conference =ABChinese Workers in the First World War=BB Venue : Boulogne-sur-mer (France) and Ypres (Belgium). (Presentations and debate will begin in Boulogne-sur-Mer and continue in Ypr= es. On 30 May there will be a post-conference coach tour of the Chinese ceme= teries in Belgium and France). Date : 26-30 May 2010 Organisation: Universit=E9 du Littoral C=F4te d=92Opale, In Flanders Field M= useum With the collaboration of KU Leuven, Maison Europ=E9enne des SHS Conference language: French, English or Chinese (exceptionally) Web site: http://www.iccwww1.org/Conference-2010[1] Because of the drain on manpower arising from conscription and war casualtie= s, between 1916 and 1919 the French and British Governments employed 140,000= Chinese volunteer workers (40,000 by the French and around 100,000 by the B= ritish, known as the Chinese Labour Corps or CLC). The majority of these Chi= nese workers found themselves grouped near the frontline to carry out constr= uction and maintenance work in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais and in the Somme, wher= e they also participated in the post-war reconstruction effort. There were n= umerous camps of Chinese workers on the C=F4te d=92Opale and in the surround= ing region and the cemeteries in which their dead were buried still exist. The four towns of ULCO, Dunkirk, Boulogne, Calais and Saint-Omer, all hosted= Chinese workers=92 camps. The hazards of war and sickness which claimed the= lives of over 2,000 of the camps=92 inhabitants endures, and their sacrific= e is commemorated in local cemeteries, principally at Saint-Etienne au Mont,= Ruminghem and Noyelles. From November 1918 until the end of 1919, the Chine= se Labour Corps also played a pivotally important role in restoring battle-r= avaged areas of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Flanders, including the prelimina= ry reconstruction of Ypres, the very symbol of European post-war reconstruct= ion. In the heart of an area associated with these historic events, this conferen= ce will provide an opportunity to carry out a synthesis of research relating= to Chinese workers in the First World War. The central axes of the conferen= ce will be grouped around the theme of Chinese workers in France and Europe = during the Great War. The conference is intended to provide an opportunity t= o synthesise research about both Chinese workers under French command and th= e CLC. Contributions inviting debate about original theoretical perspectives= will be particularly welcomed, as will submissions extending beyond the con= fines of historical studies to acknowledge other academic specialisms, inclu= ding: sinology, inter-cultural studies and political science. Thematically, = the conference will address relevant aspects of the history of the Great War= ; living and working conditions of the Chinese workers; international relati= ons; education; intercultural com munication and sociology. The conference will give priority to the following topics, although the list= is not exhaustive: =95 Living and working conditions of the Chinese workers during the war. =95 The foreign and international relations policy of China: China and the W= est; bilateral relationships with France, Britain or Belgium. =95 Education, in particular approaches to adult education (the education of= Chinese workers by the YMCA and Chinese students living in France=85). =95 Intercultural exchanges between Europe and China linked to the presence = of the Chinese workers. =95 Chinese migration to France and the First World War. =95 Chinese workers in the Great War and contemporary ailments and diseases. =95 Connections between Chinese workers in the First World War, subsequent r= evolutionary activity and establishment of =91New Communist China=92. =95 Germans in China before and during the war; diplomacy and German propaga= nda. =95 Material culture of the Chinese workers, including art and artifacts (= =93trench art=94). =95 Graves of Chinese workers in the West; identification, recording and rec= ognition of Chinese casualties. =95 Oral testimony of the war and Chinese records. We particularly encourage contributions which bring to bear an original poin= t of view on the subject. Contributions relating to existing research on the= subject (evaluations, critiques, comparisons, development of themes, new so= urces, etc.) will also be particularly welcome.
