Matters of Conflict looks at the definitive invention of the
twentieth century - industrialised war - and its vast and varied
material legacy. From trench art and postcards through avant-garde
art, museum collections and prosthetic limbs to battlefield
landscapes, the book examines the First World War and its
significance through the things it left behind. The contributions
come from a multidisciplinary perspective, uniting previously
compartmentalized disciplines such as anthropology, archaeology,
cultural history, museology and art history in their focus on
material culture. This innovative, hybrid approach investigates the
'social life' of objects in order to understand them as they move
through time and space and intersect the lives of all who came in
contact with them.
The resulting survey sets a new agenda for study of the First World
War, and ultimately of all twentieth-century conflict.
