War and Remembrance
2022
Overview
Memory, while seemingly a thing of the past, has much to reveal
in the present. With its focus on memory, War and
Remembrance provides new viewpoints in the field of war
representation. Bringing an interdisciplinary approach to
discussions of the cultural memory of war, the collection focuses
on narratives, either fictional or testimonial, that challenge
ideological discourses of war. The acts of remembrance and of
waging war are constantly evolving. A range of case studies -
analyzing representations of war in art, film, museums, and
literature from Nigeria, Australia, Sri Lanka, Canada, and beyond -
questions our current approaches to memory studies while offering
reinterpretations of established narratives. Throughout, a
commitment to Indigenous perspectives, to examining the ongoing
legacy of colonialism, and to a continued reckoning with the Second
World War foregrounds what is often forgotten in the writing of a
single, official history. War and Remembrance invites
readers to cast a reflexive look at wars and conflicts past - some
of them forgotten, others still vividly commemorated - the better
to understand the cultural, political, and social stake of memory
as a source of conflict and exchange, of resistance and opposition,
and of negotiation and reconciliation.
