Modern Conflict and the Senses investigates the sensual worlds
created by modern war, focusing on the sensorial responses embodied
in and provoked by the materiality of conflict and its aftermath.
The volume positions the industrialized nature of twentieth-century
war as a unique cultural phenomenon, in possession of a material
and psychological intensity that embodies the extremes of human
behaviour, from total economic mobilization to the unbearable
sadness of individual loss. Adopting a coherent and integrated
hybrid approach to the complexities of modern conflict, the book
considers issues of memory, identity, and emotion through wartime
experiences of tangible sensations and bodily requirements. This
comprehensive and interdisciplinary collection draws upon
archaeology, anthropology, military and cultural history, art
history, cultural geography, and museum and heritage studies in
order to revitalize our understandings of the role of the senses in
conflict.
