About this book
Reviews
—Gérard Bouchard, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, Canada.
A powerful and diverse range of interdisciplinary scholarship that offers an up-to-date appreciation of how 21st century media events and representations produce a culture of First World War memory across Europe. Each chapter explores the memorialising, inscribing, performing and shaping of how we are meant to remember this war through contemporary media. It shows clearly how media discourses turn past stories into influence and action – ensuring that audiences as well as those in power align themselves (through images and text) to the key narratives. This book is a must read for students and researchers of media and communication studies, memory studies, history and war studies. —Joanne Garde-Hansen, Professor of Culture, Media and Communication, University of Warwick, UKEditors and Affiliations
