The First World War, often regarded as the epitome of static warfare was, however, characterized by multiple circulations and constant mobility, from the first days of the conflict well into the post war period. Soldiers and civilians of various nationalities took to the road in high numbers either to go fighting or to flee from the different fronts, in an improvised or organised manner. Circulations in these itineraries took diverse forms, short-distance repeated movements (from the front to the rear during leaves for example) or mobility on very long distances – sometimes even without return.

This workshop focuses on the material organization of mobility (impact on transportation networks or supply routes) and the political implications of these movements (forced relocations, population transfers). The workshop also touches on the individual or collective experience of displacement.
