- Inhalt
- More than a century after its end, the Great War still shapes the European understanding of (total) war – possibly even more so than the Second World War. Now that the centennial of the armistice has passed, it is time to look back not only at the war itself, specifically at how the war is remembered today and has been remembered ever since it ended in 1918. How does current remembrance of the war compare with contemporary depictions of it? How has the memory of the war developed and how has the cultural memory changed over the last century?
In this course, we are going to analyse how the war was experienced, processed, remembered and narrated during three stages; the war itself (1914-18); roughly the decade after the war (1920s); and roughly one century after the war (2010s). To do so, this course looks at the literature of these three stages and assesses the different ways the Great War has been framed in cultural memory for the last century, comparing the differences and similarities in the depiction of the war and its participants (both combatants and non-combatants). For every period, we will use poetry, one play and one narrative text as well as non-fiction texts, the majority of which will be made available by the lecturer.
