This comprehensive volume analyzes the radical change in the nature
of armed conflicts and in the way they are narrated and
represented. Ever since the First World War has changed war itself,
rendering meaningless the very vocabulary of war in terms such as
"battle", "front", "non-combatant", "open city" and "hero", new
words, new approaches, new theories and new texts had to be
invented. The enemy became invisible: Submarines, tanks, mines,
gas, long-range artillery, and airplanes made this war different
from all the other that came before. A hundred years after the
beginning of this terrible war, it is now time to recall different
representations of the armed conflicts of the 20th century. The
articles in this collection analyze representations of the Canudos
Civil War in Brazil, the First World War, the Second World War, the
Korean War, the Vietnam War, the colonial wars in Africa, and the
war in Afghanistan, aiming to understand how war and the telling of
war have changed during the most murderous hundred years in the
history of mankind.
