Résumé anglais The space between us. This text is the transcript of a lecture given by Cynthia Cockburn in November 1998 at the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in Paris, marking the opening of a photo exhibition and the publication of a book on the theme of women and war. Both works were the result of research carried by Cockburn in three regions of the world confronted with armed conflict - Northern Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Israel/Palestine. Placing herself as a participating observer, the author followed the work of three projects bringing together women from antagonistic political standpoints who have chosen to form alliances, and thus work towards the development of a peace process. She was struck by the fact that, in their activity, far from hiding their differences these women affirm their respective identities. Considering the concept of identity, she underlines the importance of understanding it, as do the women she writes about it, as a category with changing borders and dependent on relations with others.
