MILITARIZING THE CIVIL SOCIETY – CIVILIZING THE MILITARY SOCIETY


 An international symposium arranged by the Finnish Society for
Eighteenth-Century Studies and the project ‘Connections, associations and

Academy of Finland).

Helsinki, 3–4 October 2013 (House of Sciences and Letters)

The conference Militarizing the Civil Society – Civilizing the Military
Society focuses on the various aspects of interaction between the military and
civil society in the eighteenth century. Among other themes, it covers topics
such as:

the relations between armed forces and civilians in local communities;
the cultural history of garrisons and fortresses, including architectural
aspects;
the military aspects of education and the educational functions of the military;
the development of medicine and public hygiene;
military and naval bases as centres of engineering and shipbuilding;
fleets and logistics; fortifications and hinterlands;
war economy and administrative reforms;
the perception of the soldier;
perceptions of honour;
violence and criminality, confrontations with the ‘other’;
war-related mobility and identity.

A particular, secondary theme that will be given attention is the Swedish
mid-eighteenth-century defence policy. Participants will have the opportunity to
visit the sea fortress of Sveaborg–Suomenlinna (UNESCO World Heritage Site).
