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.
