Seventy years have passed since the end of the Asia-Pacific War, yet Japan remains embroiled in controversy with its neighbors over the war's commemoration. Among the many points of contention between Japan, China, and South Korea are interpretations of the Tokyo War Crimes Trial, apologies and compensation for foreign victims of Japanese aggression, prime ministerial visits to the Yasukuni Shrine, and the war's portrayal in textbooks. Collectively, these controversies have come to be called the history problem. But why has the problem become so intractable? Can it ever be resolved, and if so, how? To answer these questions author Hiro Saito mobilizes the sociology of collective memory and social movements, political theories of apology and reconciliation, psychological research on intergroup conflict, and philosophical reflections on memory and history.

"This collection of articles is the outcome of extensive investigations into archival materials, concerning the involvement of various nations in the Great War. The authors analyse the wartime experiences of individuals and local communities, as well as whole nations. They offer a closer, more personal view of the impact of the Great War. The book re-constructs individual war narratives, and studies the long-term consequences of the conflict. The result is a multifaceted portrayal of the war, seen from local and international perspectives."-- Provided by publisher.

"This volume addresses the fundamental importance of the army, warfare, and military service to the development of both the Roman Republic and wider Italic society in the second half of the first millennium BC. It brings together emerging and established scholars in the area of Roman military studies to engage with subjects such as the relationship between warfare and economic and demographic regimes; the interplay of war, aristocratic politics, and state formation; and the complex role the military played in the integration of Italy. The book demonstrates the centrality of war to Rome's internal and external relationships during the Republic, as well as to the Romans' sense of identity and history. It also illustrates the changing scholarly view of warfare as a social and cultural construct in antiquity, and how much work remains to be done in what is often thought of as a "traditional" area of research. Romans at War will be of interest to students and scholars of the Roman army and ancient warfare, and of Roman society more broadly."

Gewalt und Krieg sind heute wie auch in der Vormoderne keine ausschließlich männliche Domäne, sondern Räume der Männer und Frauen gleichermaßen. In Zeiten kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen werden Geschlechterrollen ausgebildet, konforme und abweichende Verhaltensweisen ausprobiert und Konzepte von Männlichkeit und Weiblichkeit entwickelt. Erstmals für die Epoche des Mittelalters (7.-16. Jahrhundert) werden daraus resultierende Fragestellungen im interdisziplinären und kulturübergreifenden Vergleich untersucht. Die Beiträge erörtern Geschlechterbeziehungen auf Darstellungs- und Handlungsebene und beschreiben Interaktionsformen in Kontexten von Gewalt und Krieg. Über den europäischen Raum mit seinen zahlreichen Fehden und Heerzügen hinaus werden auch die Kreuzzüge in den Blick genommen.

US society has controversially debated civil-military relationships and war trauma since the Vietnam War. Civic activists today promote Indigenous warrior traditions as role models for non-Native veteran reintegration and health care. They particularly stress the role of ritual and narrative for civil-military negotiations of war experience and for trauma therapy. Applying a cultural-comparative lens, this book reads non-Native soldiers? and veterans? life writing from post-9/11 wars as 'ceremonial storytelling.' It analyzes activist academic texts, 'milblogs' written in the war zone, as well as 'homecoming scenarios.' Soldiers? and veterans? interactions with civilians constitute jointly constructed, narrative civic rituals that discuss the meaning of war experience and homecoming.

"This book examines the phenomenon of war-related contents tourism throughout Japanese history, from conflicts described in ancient Japanese myth through to contemporary depictions of fantasy and futuristic warfare. It tackles two crucial questions: first, how does war transition from being traumatic to entertaining in the public imagination and works of popular culture; and second, how does visitation to war-related sites transition from being an act of mourning or commemorative pilgrimage into an act of devotion or fan pilgrimage? Representing the collaboration of ten expert researchers of Japanese popular culture and travel, it develops a theoretical framework for understanding war-related contents tourism and demonstrates the framework in practice via numerous short case studies across a millennium of warfare in Japan including: the tales of heroic deities in the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters, AD 712), the Edo poetry of Matsuo Basho, and the Pacific war through lens of popular media such as the animated film the Grave of the Fireflies. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in tourism studies and cultural studies, as well as more general issues of war and peace in Japan, East Asia and beyond"-- Provided by publisher.

La guerre, fait de civilisation central de l’histoire de l’Europe, y a produit un héritage historique à la fois différencié et commun. À partir d’exemples pris dans le long XXe siècle ainsi que dans les plus récents développements européens, cet ouvrage revient sur le jeu des traditions militaires communes et des cultures nationales issues des expériences propres à chaque société. L’Europe s’est édifiée jusqu’à présent pour l’essentiel sur la base de processus institutionnels, oubliant largement la dimension culturelle, et c’est sans doute dans le domaine de la Défense que cette négligence a fait le plus sentir ses effets sur les réalisations concrètes. Cet ouvrage voudrait réparer une telle lacune en portant à la lumière le rapport complexe que les Européens, confrontés à de lourds héritages historiques de conflits et d’alliances interétatiques, entretiennent avec la guerre. Il s’agit d’abord de redécouvrir l’influence dans l’esprit des dirigeants et dans les populations, de constructions de l’Autre (Européen ou non-Européen) comme ennemi ou comme allié. C’est le préalable nécessaire à un renouvellement de la pensée stratégique en Europe qui identifie les conditions de convergence des cultures militaires, et redonne toute sa place au facteur humain dans les questions de stratégie. Les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage proposent des analyses nouvelles et originales sur la guerre en Europe, dans une diversité de perspectives aussi bien nationales que transnationales. En combinant des approches stratégiques, historiques, sociologiques et politiques, elles envisagent donc la « sécurité européenne » avant tout dans sa dimension culturelle, pour parvenir à une réflexion critique sur les réalisations et les perspectives de coopération dans le domaine de la « défense européenne ».

As US imperialism continues to dictate foreign policy, Deadly Contradictions is a compelling account of the American empire. Stephen P. Reyna argues that contemporary forms of violence exercised by American elites in the colonies, client state, and regions of interest have deferred imperial problems, but not without raising their own set of deadly contradictions. This book can be read many ways: as a polemic against geopolitics, as a classic social anthropological text, or as a seminal analysis of twenty-four US global wars during the Cold War and post-Cold War eras.

La historia contemporánea de España, Francia y otros países del continente europeo resulta inexplicable sin tener en cuenta los enfrentamientos fratricidas vinculados a fenómenos tan diversos como la revolución, la contrarrevolución, la insurrección, la guerra civil o la resistencia armada frente al invasor foráneo. Aprovechando este rico bagaje de experiencias históricas, y con la mirada atenta a los procesos similares vividos en otros países europeos y americanos, el presente libro analiza aspectos tan diversos como los problemas anejos a una conceptualización científica de la guerra civil, la comparación de los procesos históricos de enfrentamiento civil en España y Francia en los siglos xix y xx, la proyección europea del fenómeno guerracivilista, las lógicas de la violencia y la formación cultural de la imagen del enemigo en este tipo de confrontaciones a gran escala.
