War Memories explores the patchwork formed by collective memory, public remembrance, private recollection, and the ways in which they form a complex composition of observations, initiatives, and experiences. Offering an international perspective on war commemoration, contributors consider the process of assembling historical facts and subjective experiences to show how these points of view diverge according to various social, cultural, political, and historical perspectives. Encompassing the representations of wars in the English-speaking world over the last hundred years, this collection presents an extensive, yet integrated, reflection on various types of commemoration and interpretations of events. Essays respond to common questions regarding war memory: how and why do we remember war? What does commemoration tell us about the actors in wars? How does commemoration reflect contemporary society’s culture of war? War Memories disseminates current knowledge on the performance, interpretation, and rewriting of facts and events during and after wars, while focusing on how patriotic fervour, resistance, conscientious objection, injury, trauma, and propaganda contribute to the shaping of individual and collective memory. Contributors include Joan Beaumont (Australian National University, Canberra), Gilles Chamerois (University of Brest, France), Subarno Chattarji (University of Delhi, India), Nicole Cloarec (Rennes 1 University, France), Corinne David-Ives (European University of Brittany – Rennes 2, France), Jeffrey Demsky (San Bernardino Valley College, California), Sam Edwards (Manchester Metropolitan University), Georges Fournier (Jean Moulin University, France), Annie Gagiano (University of Stellenbosch, South Africa), David Haigron (Rennes 2 University, France), Judith Keene (University of Sydney, Australia), Melissa King (San Bernardino Valley College, California), Christine Knauer (Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, Germany), Liliane Louvel (University of Poitiers), Michelle P.

This book tells the story of monuments in two cities that share a parallel and turbulent history: Strasbourg and Poznan. With the Franco-Prussian War begins the well-known story of the destruction and erection of memorials. This book not only explains the mechanisms related to how memorials have functioned in the past, but also contributes to our understanding of current modes of their perception. It analyzes their material shape, the problem of affect, and their meaning, not only in relation to the political context and the work of memory. This book shows how the form of monuments reflects the social understanding of such basic questions as the perception of nature, gender issues and the image of those who are in power, and how, and in which aspects, those kind of objects actually change the city space we live in. -- Provided by publisher.

This volume sheds twenty-first-century light on the charged interactions between memory, mourning and landscape. A century after Freud, our understanding of how memory and mourning function continues to be challenged, revised and refined. Increasingly, scholarly attention is paid to the role of situation in memorialising, whether in commemorations of individuals or in marking the mass deaths of late modern warfare and disasters. Memory, Mourning, Landscape offers the nuanced insights provided by interdisciplinarity in nine essays by leading and up-and-coming academics from the fields of history, museum studies, literature, anthropology, architecture, law, geography, theology and archaeology. The vital visual element is reinforced with an illustrated coda by a practising artist. The result is a unique symbiotic dialogue which will speak to scholars from a range of disciplines.

Alle Toten sind, auch wenn sie gewaltsam gestorben sind, als Tote einander gleich. Erst wenn sie als Sieger oder Besiegte, als Helden oder Opfer, als Verbrecher oder Ermordete erinnert werden, sind sie ungleich. Der politische Totenkult pflegt solche Unterscheidungen. Seit der Französischen Revolution haben alle Gefallenen, Umgebrachten und Vernichteten ihre Denkmale erhalten, inzwischen rings um den Globus. Die Toten der Bürgerkriege und Kriege unserer Neuzeit werden in den Gemeinden, in Verbänden und Organisationen, jedenfalls in allen Hauptstädten erinnert, ihr Gedächtnis wird rituell gepflegt. Der Kult dient primär dem Vaterland, der Heimat, dem Staat, der Nation. Dennoch gleichen sich die Motive, die Rituale und Zeremonien, die Symbole: Sie sind international. Quer durch die Länder und Zeiten zeigen sich - bei allen Unterschieden - Gemeinsamkeiten, die über den bloß politischen Totenkult hinausweisen. Es ist die gemeinsame Trauer, die jeden erfaßt, der einen Toten zu beklagen hat.Der vorliegende Band vereinigt deshalb Beiträge von Historikern, Soziologen, Kunsthistorikern aus vielen Ländern. Erst im Vergleich zeigt sich die gemeinsame Signatur unserer Totenkulte und ihr gemeinsamer Wandel. Aus der nationalen Sinnstiftung schält sich immer drängender die Frage nach dem Sinn des gewaltsamen Todes heraus. Die Untersuchungen führen uns vom ritterlichen Totenkult der vorrevolutionären Zeit bis zum Vietnam-Denkmal in Washington. Sie vergleichen die parallele und einander widersprechende Entwicklung in Deutschland und Frankreich, sie thematisieren Kriegführende und neutrale Nationen, konfrontieren die gesellschaftlichen Riten der USA mit den parteistaatlichen Riten der ehemaligen UdSSR, sie analysieren Kunstwerke wie Rodins >Ehernes Zeitalter< - ursprünglich als Kriegerdenkmal konzipiert - und Großmonumente wie das Völkerschlachtdenkmal.Immer werden die sozialen Voraussetzungen, die politischen Absichten und die ästhetischen Lösungen miteinander verbunden. Alle Studien gründen auf neu erschlossenen Quellen. Vom Grabmal des Feldherrn bis zu dem des Unbekannten Soldaten führt der Weg, ein Weg, der in die Abgründe unserer geschichtlichen Erfahrungen weist.

Krieg ist ein globales Phänomen, doch die Kriegserinnerungen und das Gefallenengedenken sind in jedem Land unterschiedlich. In 20 Länderstudien loten die Autoren aus, wie historische Traditionen, religiöse Prägungen und politische Ordnungen sich auf die Erinnerungsmuster des neuzeitlichen Gefallenenkults auswirken. Trotz vieler Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Ländern treten zwei Gemeinsamkeiten klar hervor: Alle Gefallenen werden politisch in Dienst genommen, um das eigene Staatswesen mit dem Tod der Soldaten zu legitimieren. Zugleich individualisiert sich in allen Nationalstaaten das Gefallenengedenken, das jeden Soldaten einzeln mit seinem Namen und als gleichberechtigten Teil der Nation darstellt. Nur religiöse und revolutionäre Märtyrerkulte sperren sich gegen diese Egalisierungstendenz.

Every year, people from all over the world visit American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) sites, from Normandy, France, to Busan, South Korea, to Corozal, Panama. At rest in the 26 overseas cemeteries are almost 139,000 dead, and memorialized on 'Walls of the Missing' are 60,314 fallen soldiers with no known graves. The ABMC administers, operates, and maintains 26 permanent American military cemeteries and 27 federal memorials, monuments, and markers. These graves and memorials are among the most beautiful and meticulously maintained shrines in the world. This is a study of the ABMC, from its founding in 1923 to the present.
