The contributors explore a variety of topics,

The twenty-seven original contributions to this volume investigate the ways in which the First World War has been commemorated and represented internationally in prose fiction, drama, film, docudrama and comics from the 1960's until the present. The volume thus provides a comprehensive survey of the cultural memory of the war as reflected in various media across national cultures, addressing the complex connections between the cultural post-memory of the war and its mediation. In four sections, the essays investigate (1) the cultural legacy of the Great War (including its mythology and iconography); (2) the implications of different forms and media for representing the war; (3) 'national' memories, foregrounding the differences in post-memory representations and interpretations of the Great War, and (4) representations of the Great War within larger temporal or spatial frameworks, focusing specifically on the ideological dimensions of its 'remembrance' in historical, socio-political, gender-oriented, and post-colonial contexts.

Si le XXe siècle a été celui des guerres, il a été aussi celui de l'avènement de la mise en scène de théâtre et de cinéma. Cet ouvrage interroge le lien étroit et vivant entre guerre et mise en scène, tant théâtrale que cinématographique. Car le phénomène de la guerre, à travers lequel s'écrit l'histoire du siècle, n'en finit pas de questionner la représentation artistique, et de renvoyer le théâtre et le cinéma à leurs propres limites, éthiques et esthétiques, les invitant à dépasser celles-ci pour s'inventer des formes nouvelles. Abordant les représentations de cinq périodes ou conflits charnières, la Première et la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les guerres postcoloniales, les guerres du Proche-Orient, le conflit en ex-Yougoslavie et l'après-11-Septembre, les études rassemblées ici sont l'oeuvre d'universitaires, de spécialistes, et ménagent une parole aux artistes eux-mêmes (cinéastes, metteurs en scène, auteurs, traducteurs). Elles abordent le traitement fictionnel aussi bien que la démarche documentaire, en faisant la part de leurs interpénétrations. Se dessinent de la sorte un panorama des événements les plus tragiques et destructeurs de notre histoire contemporaine, mais aussi un parcours des oeuvres qui, depuis cent ans jusqu'à notre plus récente actualité, se sont acharnées à construire une mémoire vivante de notre passé et de notre présent.

This book offers a sustained demonstration of the way in which works of art can help us to explore the most difficult ethical and political issues of our time: war terror extermination torture and abuse. Author blurb: The book combines art and politics in an original way. It uses art of various kinds (paintings poems novels photographs films) to explore war; it demonstrates how art can do this. It ranges across the wars of the last century from the Great War to the Global War on Terror. It is alive to the idea of moral life even amid depravity and destruction. It is written in a distinctive style which is said to have some affinities with the work of John Berger. It has one foot in scholarship the other in magic arts.
