Conflict, Nationhood and Corporeality in Modern Literature

Bodies-at-War

Herausgegeben: Rau, P.

Beschreibung

This collection examines ways in which modern literature responds to the body-at-war, examining the effects of violent conflict on the body in its literal and representative forms. Spanning literature from World War I to the present day, it includes essays on pacifist theatre, torture, fascist fantasies, and uniforms and masculinity.

Rezensionen

'The essays collected by Rau offer a broad and provocative analysis of the "vanishing body", ranging across the twentieth-century in term os of literature and history...This is a valuable collection of essays which builds on the Foucauldian-inspired work associated with the body as a historically shifting construct and connects it to a series of hithero minor texts in the literature of war.' - Routledge ABES June 2011
