Description
Modern Conflict and the Senses explores the complex world of modern war through its impact on our senses. This comprehensive collection draws on multiple disciplines to examine how industrialized warfare in the 20th century shaped human experience, from the extremes of economic mobilization to the personal costs of individual loss. By investigating the materiality of conflict and its aftermath, the book sheds new light on the role of memory, identity, and emotion in wartime. It considers the ways in which tangible sensations and bodily requirements influenced people's experiences during times of war. This integrated approach offers a nuanced understanding of modern conflict, one that is grounded in archaeology, anthropology, military history, art history, cultural geography, and museum studies. The result is a rich and interdisciplinary analysis that revitalizes our understanding of the senses in conflict.
