Cultural History of Modern War
About the series
The history of modern war has recently broken out of the military, political, economic and social frameworks within which it has traditionally been studied. Interest in the power of representations and practices to convey meaning has turned critical attention to the cultural dynamics of war. Research in this field embraces a wide range of concerns from war's special role in revealing the cultural basis of the construction of gender, to political uses of population displacement to realign national identifications, and the sometimes negative implications of humanitarian intervention. The selective memory of war in public commemoration, popular culture and personal recollection is also a key topic. This series offers a forum for new work in these and other emerging areas. Its intention is to interrogate divisions between, for example, war and society, war and peace, allies and enemies, heroes and villains, to span all corners of the globe, and to address all types of warfare, while maintaining a focus on the cultural meanings of the myriad practices of modern war.
