Politics of War Memory and Commemoration

Informationen zum Autor Michael Roper, T.G. Ashplant, Graham Dawson Klappentext War memory and commemoration have had increasingly high profiles in public and academic debates in recent years. This volume examines some of the social changes which have led to this development, among them the passing of the two World Wars from survivor into cultural memory. Focusing on the politics of war memory and commemoration, the book illuminates the struggle to install particular memories at the centre of a cultural world, and offers an extensive argument about how the politics of commemoration practices should be understood. Zusammenfassung A series of international case studies examine forms of war memory and commemoration, highlighting the relations of power that structure the ways in which wars can be remembered.
