Book excerpt: English summary: Since antiquity, technical innovations have had a direct influence on the portrayal of war in the media and the arts. But has the actual structure and substance of war reporting changed in the course of technological progress from antiquity to the present day? Have pamphlets, war paintings, photography, radio reports and radio plays, newsreels, war films, tv news coverage or internet videos yielded more information content? Have they been able to make the incomprehensible reality of the horrors of war more comprehensible, or have means of manipulation and discourse through war images remained the same? Are the media truth machines in both senses? These are the central questions discussed in this anthology. German text. German description: Technische Innovationen haben zweifellos seit der Antike unmittelbaren Einfluss auf die Darstellung des Krieges in den Medien und Kunsten ausgeubt. Doch haben sich tatsachlich die Strukturen und Inhalte der Kriegsberichterstattung in den Produkten verandert, die mit diesen Innovationen erstellt wurden? Haben von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart des 21. Jahrhunderts Flugschriften, Schlachtengemalde, Fotografien, Radioberichte und Horspiele, Wochenschauen und Kriegsfilme, Fernsehnachrichten oder Internetvideos zu einem Mehr an Informationsgehalt gefuhrt? Haben sie die unfassbare Realitat des Grauens der Schlachten nachvollziehbar gestaltet, oder sind die Manipulationswege und die den Bildern eingeschriebenen Diskurse unverandert geblieben? Sind die Medien Wahrheitsmaschinen im doppelten Sinne? Dies waren die zentralen Fragestellungen der Tagung Wahrheitsmaschinen. Der Einfluss technischer Innovationen auf die Darstellung und das Bild des Krieges in den Medien und Kunsten, die vom 3. bis 6. September 2009 an der Universitat Osnabruck stattfand und deren Beitrage im vorliegenden Band versammelt sind.

Download or read book The Great War in Post Memory Literature and Film written by Martin Löschnigg and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-seven original contributions to this volume investigate the ways in which the First World War has been commemorated and represented internationally in prose fiction, drama, film, docudrama and comics from the 1960s until the present. 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.
Download or read book Representations of War Migration and Refugeehood written by Daniel H. Rellstab and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War, migration, and refugeehood are inextricably linked and the complex nature of all three phenomena offers profound opportunities for representation and misrepresentation. This volume brings together international contributors and practitioners from a wide range of fields, practices, and backgrounds to explore and problematize textual and visual inscriptions of war and migration in the arts, the media, and in academic, public, and political discourses. The essays in this collection address the academic and political interest in representations of the migrant and the refugee, and examine the constructed nature of categories and concepts such as ‘war,’ ‘refuge(e),’ ‘victim,’ ‘border,’ ‘home,’ ‘non-place,’ and ‘dis/location.’ Contributing authors engage with some of the most pressing questions surrounding war, migration, and refugeehood as well as with the ways in which war and its multifarious effects and repercussions in society are being framed, propagated, glorified, or contested. This volume initiates an interdisciplinary debate which re-evaluates the relationship between war, migration, and refugeehood and their representations.

Download or read book A Short History of the Crimean War written by Trudi Tate and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crimean War (1853-1856) was the first modern war. A vicious struggle between imperial Russia and an alliance of the British, French and Ottoman Empires, it was the first conflict to be reported first-hand in newspapers, painted by official war artists, recorded by telegraph and photographed by camera. In her new short history, Trudi Tate discusses the ways in which this novel representation itself became part of the modern war machine. She tells forgotten stories about the war experience of individual soldiers and civilians, including journalists, nurses, doctors, war tourists and other witnesses. At the same time, the war was a retrograde one, fought with the mentality, and some of the equipment, of Napoleonic times. Tate argues that the Crimean War was both modern and old-fashioned, looking backwards and forwards, and generating optimism and despair among those who lived through it. She explores this paradox while giving full coverage to the bloody battles (Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman), the siege of Sebastopol, the much-derided strategies of the commanders, conditions in the field and the cultural impact of the anti-Russian alliance.
Download or read book Scandinavia in the First World War written by Claes Ahlund and published by Nordic Academic Press. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden all managed to stay out of World War I, but all three countries were deeply affected by it. Opening with a systematically comparative introduction to the history of the Scandinavian countries during that time period, this account then presents 13 case studies examining the impact of the war on these neutral entities. From inflation and the shortage of consumer goods to widespread poverty and political unrest - not to mention the thousands of Scandinavian soldiers who participated in the war - this unique compilation 'analyzes the military and economic consequences as well as the vital political and social issues raised by the conflict.'
Download or read book The Northern Ireland Troubles in Britain written by Graham Dawson and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking book provides the first comprehensive investigation of the history and memory of the Northern Ireland Troubles in Britain. It examines the impacts of the conflict upon individual lives, political and social relationships, communities and culture in Britain, and explores how the people of Britain (including its Irish communities) have responded to, and engaged with the conflict, in the context of contested political narratives produced by the State and its opponents. Setting an agenda for further research and public debate, the book demonstrates that 'unfinished business' from the conflicted past persists unaddressed in Britain, and advocates the importance of acknowledging legacies, understanding histories and engaging with memories in the context of peace-building and reconciliation.
Download or read book Handbook of British Literature and Culture of the First World War written by Ralf Schneider and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First World War has given rise to a multifaceted cultural production like no other historical event. This handbook surveys British literature and film about the war from 1914 until today. The continuing interest in World War I highlights the interdependence of war experience, the imaginative re-creation of that experience in writing, and individual as well as collective memory. In the first part of the handbook, the major genres of war writing and film are addressed, including of course poetry and the novel, but also the short story; furthermore, it is shown how our conception of the Great War is broadened when looked at from the perspective of gender studies and post-colonial criticism. The chapters in the second part present close readings of important contributions to the literary and filmic representation of World War I in Great Britain. All in all, the contributions demonstrate how the opposing forces of focusing and canon-formation on the one hand, and broadening and revision of the canon on the other, have characterised British literature and culture of the First World War.

Book excerpt: Über Krieg berichten Seit über 2000 Jahren gibt es Nachrichten aus dem Krieg. Der Zusammenhang zwischen technologischer Entwicklung und der Veränderung des Bildes vom Krieg stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses reich illustrierten Bands. Nachrichten aus dem Krieg gibt es seit über 2000 Jahren. In der Antike mit reitenden Boten oder weithin sichtbaren Leuchtzeichen verbreitet, sind Kriegsbilder heute durch Handys und Internet nahezu jederzeit und überall verfügbar. Dieser reich illustrierte Band zeigt in Texten und Bildern, wie technologische Entwicklungen die Bilder vom Krieg und die Strukturen und Inhalte der Kriegsberichterstattung verändert haben. Namhafte AutorInnen behandeln historische Themen und die aktuelle politische Bedeutung medialer Kommunikation. Neben historischen Themen geht es ihnen um die aktuelle politische Bedeutung medialer Kommunikation. An technischen Geräten, Fotografien, Grafiken und Filmbildern, künstlerischen Installationen, Skulpturen und interaktiven Arbeiten, die sich mit dem Thema Krieg auseinandersetzen, wird sichtbar, wie sich die Bilder vom Krieg durch die Entwicklung der Medien verändert haben. Zusätzlich eröffnen sich durch die Medienkunst unerwartete Perspektiven und ungewöhnliche Assoziationen. »Bilderschlachten« zeigt, dass es niemals objektive Berichte aus dem Krieg gegeben hat, sondern die Nachrichten stets Ziele verfolgen, die über die reine Berichterstattung hinaus gehen. Das reichhaltig ausgestattete Buch ist zugleich offizieller Begleitband der gleichnamigen großen Ausstellung, die aus Anlass des 2000. Jahrestages der »Schlacht im Teutoburger Wald« vom Erich Maria Remarque-Friedenszentrum, dem European Media Art Festival, dem Museum Industriekultur sowie der Kunsthalle Dominikanerkirche in Osnabrück veranstaltet wird (22.
