Les actes de ces journées d'étude à Amiens et Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme font suite à deux autres volumes d'actes de colloques (2015 et 2016) sur l'histoire de l'étruscologie au e siècle dans le cadre d'un programme promu et financé à partir de 2011 par l'Institut Universitaire de France. L'objectif de ce programme consistait à étudier comment les Étrusques sont devenus un objet d'étude autonome et unitaire au moment de la construction des nations européennes. Ce troisième volume complète le parcours chronologique par l'étude de la période qui suit la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'équipe de chercheurs, réunie du 14 au 16 septembre 2015, s'est demandée si la chute du fascisme en Italie et du nazisme en Allemagne avait mis fin à la période de crise à laquelle a dû faire face l'étruscologie au moment de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et si elle avait inauguré une nouvelle période pour les études sur les Étrusques. En clair, l'Europe politique at -elle donné un élan aux études sur les Étrusques ou les étruscologues ont-ils d'eux-mêmes cherché en Europe un renouveau qu'ils ne trouvaient pas dans leur seul pays ? La question revient à se demander dans quelle mesure les étruscologues ont adhéré à ces valeurs européennes et dans quelle mesure ils s'en ont servi de filtre pour orienter leurs études. On étudie ainsi quel a été le rêve européen des étruscologues d'après-guerre, comment il a influencé la question des origines des Etrusques et comment il a rendu les Etrusques populaires, et comment il s'est heurté aux réalités d'une Europe divisée.
The proceedings of this conference held at Amiens and Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme follow the volumes of the conferences of 2015 and 2016 on the history of etruscology in the 20th century within a program promoted and financed since 2011 by the Institut Universitaire de France. The goal of the program is to study how the Etruscans became an autonomous object of study during the construction of the European nations. This third volume completes the chronological route through the study of the period that followed the World War Two. A team of scholars gathered on September 14-16, 2015, and questioned if the fall of fascism in Italy and nazism in Germany put an end to a period of crisis faced by etruscology during World War Two and if it marked the beginning of a new period in Etruscan studies. In other words, did the political construction of Europe give a new impulse to the studies on the Etruscans or did the etruscologists themselves search in Europe for a renewal that they could not find in their own countries? The issue was to ask to what extent the etruscologists joined these European values and how they used them as a filter in order to direct their studies. Another topic debated at the conference was the European dream of the etruscologists after the war, how it influenced the question of the origin of the Etruscans and how it made the Etruscans popular, and finally how it faced the realities of a divided Europe.
