Decades after the previously unimaginable horrors of the Nazi
extermination camps and the dropping of nuclear bombs on Hiroshima
and Nagasaki, their memories remain part of our lives. In academic
and human terms, preserving awareness of this past is an ethical
imperative. This volume concerns narratives about--and allusions
to--World War II across contemporary Europe, and explains why
contemporary Europeans continue to be drawn to it as a template of
comparison, interpretation, even prediction.
This volume adds a distinctly interdisciplinary approach to the
trajectories of recent academic inquiries. Historians,
sociologists, anthropologists, linguists, political scientists, and
area study specialists contribute wide-ranging theoretical
paradigms, disciplinary frameworks, and methodological
approaches.
The volume focuses on how, where, and to what effect World War
II has been remembered. The editors discuss how World War II in
particular continues to be a point of reference across the
political spectrum and not only in Europe. It will be of interest
for those interested in popular culture, World War II history, and
national identity studies.
