The Spanish International Brigadier as Veteran and Foreign Fighter
At the time of the Spanish Civil War much contemporary commentary about the International Brigades was consistent with the view that what was taking place on the Iberian Peninsula was part of a larger struggle between democracy and fascism. Sympathetic reporting highlighted their positive military contribution and the selfless sacrifices in what later was tagged as the ‘curtain-raiser’ to the Second World War. From the 1980s scholarship about the…

The child witness and cultural memory in European war cinema
Historians and cultural theorists have recognized the power of cinema to provide narratives that give shape and coherence to the past. The trope of the child witness has had a particular provenance in European cinema that has chronicled war and trauma. This article tracks the ways in which the device has been employed and re-employed since World War II, chronicling the social and psychological legacies of war violence: in Europe and in Italy afte…
Europe and Love in Cinema
Cinema and Prosthetic Memory
This paper assesses the explanatory possibilities of the concept of prosthetic memory, with cinema as the enabler of popular understanding, when applied to the Korean War. The essay examines why it was that the conflict in Korea for many decades occupied a memory void and whether the explanations that have been offered for other similar “forgotten “wars are useful in relation to Korea. The analysis sugggests that cinema may be important in the fo…
Bodily Matters Above and Below Ground
Throughout most of the twentieth century, depending on the capabilities of the military mortuary services and the time limits set by government, the bodies of the American fallen in foreign wars have been repatriated home to their families. In the Korean War the conditions of combat posed large challenges to the recovery and returns of bodily remains. Almost half a century after that conflict, the American missing in Korea have become significant…

European Studies Postgraduate Conference
The papers included here were presented at a very lively European Studies Postgraduate Conference that was held at The University of Sydney on Friday 17 June 2005. The conference offered a wide brief that drew more than thirty papers on an enormous range of topics in European studies. The presenters were predominantly from New South Wales but with contributions from students in other states and several from abroad. As is very often the case, beca…
Strange Bedfellows
Fighting For Franco
The Spanish Civil War is often interpreted as the "last great cause" of the Left, or, alternatively, as a "dress rehearsal" for the Second World War, one that pitted fascism against democracy; it has also been suggested that it was the first open battle of communism and capitalism.[1]All of these explanations illuminate the importance of ideology; and most of them were expounded upon by those on the Left, especially non-Spaniards, in the aftermat…
“The word makes the man”
This paper examines the interplay between the life and ideas of a Catalan anarchist and autodidact, Salvador Torrents, who migrated to Australia in 1915. Until his death in 1951, Torrents, from his isolated farm in North Queensland, contributed regular commentaries and articles in libertarian newspapers in Spain, France and the United States. With the exception of the years of the Spanish civil war, Torrents remained outside mainstream Australian…

up of political tension leading to the Second World War. International volunteers who were in Spain at this time have written about their experiences in terms which prefigure the succeeding conflict.1 Those who defended the Spanish Republic saw it as democracy besieged by fascism; Franco's supporters saw him as providing a bulwark between the church and communism, or as a corporative alternative to a weakened liberal state
