DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr Marie Puren (Liberation Collection Visiting 
 Scholar 2024) will present her research on the Chadwyck-Healey Liberation 
 Collection\, held at Cambridge University Library. Marie’s talk will be 
 accompanied by a display of items from the collection and a drinks recepti
 on.\n\nThis unique collection brings together over 3\,000 works in French 
 published during the Liberation and in the few years following the Second 
 World War. The variety of genres covered and the diversity of authors and 
 publishing houses provide a representative overview of French-language lit
 erature during this pivotal period\, from both a cultural and political pe
 rspective.\n\nMarie's research focuses on the role of Resistance literatur
 e in rebuilding national consciousness after WWII. Her aim is to examine h
 ow this literature\, driven by the intellectual and political climate\, co
 ntributed to shaping new political ideologies and cultural policies in pos
 t-war France. The originality of this work lies in the use of digital huma
 nities techniques to uncover the ways Resistance narratives influenced pub
 lic sentiment and political discourse.\n\nDuring this presentation\, Marie
  will explain the approach she has taken\, by creating a digital corpus of
  a representative sample of the collection. She will explain the methods u
 sed and present her initial findings. Her presentation will demonstrate ho
 w the digital humanities can deepen our understanding of both the Liberati
 on Collection and the political\, cultural\, and literary history of post-
 war France.\n\nPlease note the talk will be recorded.
