14-18 - Understanding the Great War (Paperback): Catherine Temerson 14-18 - Understanding the Great War (Paperback)

With this brilliantly innovative book, Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau and Annette Becker have shown that the Great War was the matrix on which all subsequent disasters of the twentieth century were formed. Three elements of the conflict, all too often neglected or denied, are identified as those that must be grasped if we are to understand the war: First, what inspired its unprecedented physical brutality, and what were the effects of tolerating such violence? Second, how did citizens of the belligerent states come to be driven by vehement nationalistic and racist impulses? Third, how did the tens of millions bereaved by the war come to terms with the agonizing pain? With its strikingly original interpretative strength and its wealth of compelling documentary evidence drawn from all sides in the conflict, 14-18: Understanding the Great War has quickly established itself as a classic in the history of modern warfare.

Qu'est-ce que la question du Yasukuni, comme on l'appelle au Japon et chez ses voisins? Quelle est la nature de cette institution dediee a la commemoration des morts au combat japonais? Cette question semble aujourd'hui dans une impasse, depuis les annees 2000 et le mandat du Premier ministre Koizumi. Le Yasukuni est un sanctuaire shinto situe au centre de Tokyo. Pourquoi souleve-t-il tant de problemes politiques au Japon meme ou sur la scene internationale? Ce sanctuaire est tres particulier: il celebre comme divinites quelque deux millions cent-cinq mille soldats de l'ex-armee japonaise. Ainsi cette question touche-t-elle a la responsabilite de guerre du Japon contemporain, ainsi qu'a l'histoire de la domination coloniale. Et divers problemes s'imposent, concernant la commemoration des morts au combat, leur glorification comme heros, la relation entre politique et religion, le nationalisme moderne et l'idee de mourir pour la patrie, ou encore l'identite et la culture japonaises. L'ouvrage tente, en s'appuyant sur l'arriere-plan historique du sanctuaire et sur l'histoire du Japon contemporain depuis la fin du XIXe siecle, d'eclairer ce qui constitue la question du Yasukuni, tout en reflechissant a la facon dont nous devons, aujourd'hui, poser ce probleme. Le present ouvrage est organise autour de cinq axes, traitant de la memoire, des responsabilites de guerre et coloniales, de la dimension religieuse, des theories culturalistes, et enfin des propositions de nouvelles institutions commemoratives aujourd'hui a l'etude.
