Description
Matters of Conflict explores the lasting impact of industrialised war on our material culture. From the trenches to museum collections, this book examines the First World War and its significance through the things it left behind.
Drawing on a multidisciplinary approach that unites anthropology, archaeology, cultural history, museology, and art history, the book investigates the 'social life' of objects as they move through time and space. This innovative perspective sheds new light on the lives of those who came into contact with these objects.
The result is a survey that sets a new agenda for studying the First World War and its legacy in modern conflict.
