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.Media and cultural memory ;Volume 18.World War, 1914-1918Literature and the warLiterature, Modern20th centuryHistory and criticismCollective memory and literatureWorld War, 1914-1918Motion pictures and the warWar filmsHistory and criticismCollective memory and motion picturesWorld War I.cultural memory.war film.war literature.World War, 1914-1918Literature and the war.Literature, ModernHistory and criticism.Collective memory and literature.World War, 1914-1918Motion pictures and the war.War filmsHistory and criticism.Collective memory and motion pictures.809/.93358403HM 1101rvkLöschnigg MartinSokołowska-Paryż MarzenaAnderson Jean1951-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827005603321The great war in post-memory literature and film4053364UNINA
