Introduction
This introduction offers a comprehensive context for this special issue of the Journal of War and Culture Studies.I define the concept of transnationalism as it is reflected in the scope of the articles included, all of which discuss non-American film productions about the American military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan.I also argue that our understanding of the war film genre can only benefit from taking into account an array of differen…

Un-doing the Vietnam War Legacy
De-enemizing the enemy in the contemporary truce film
The author’s interest resides in war films which re-humanize the enemy so as to question the militaristic philosophy and politics of a given military conflict. Her discussion focuses on the truce film as a notable subgenre of the war film which, characteristically, transcends both historical and nationalistic paradigms. The analysis of Kya Dilli Kya Lahore and Camp X-Ray, as examples of two subvariants of the truce film, serve to underscore the n…
The Truth (?) of Wartime Rape
This article analyzes the representational strategies used to show, narrate, and contextualize sexual violence during past military conflicts in Helke Sander's 1992 documentary film BeFreier und BeFreite ( Liberators Take Liberties ) and Wojciech Tochman's 2010 reportage Dzisiaj narysujemy śmierć ( Today We're Going to Draw Death ). My comparative analysis of the formal strategies used by Sander and Tochman to effectively diminish various modes o…

A Different Perspective (?)
The canonical literary epitome of the Great War is, beyond doubt, the infantry soldier trapped in what Paul Fussell called the “troglodyte world” of the notorious trenches. There exists, however, a considerable number of literary accounts devoted to a different ‘space’—and thus allegedly also a different experience—of the conflict. The autobiography by Manfred von Richthofen, and memoirs by Billy Bishop and Cecil Lewis contributed to the fame of …
Enemy in Contemporary Film
While filmic representations of ‘enemies’ are legion, film studies have so far neglected the way in which filmic mediations of enemy images have contributed to shaping cultural memories. The present volume investigates the (de)(re)constructions of enemy images in international film since the 1970s. The three parts deal with (re)configurations of the enemy in contemporary global cinemas, analysing films on the two world wars, on regional military …
The Great War in Post-Memory Literature and Film
The twenty-seven original contributions to this volume investigate the ways in which the First World War has been commemorated and represented internationally in prose fiction, drama, film, docudrama and comics from the 1960s until the present. The volume thus provides a comprehensive survey of the cultural memory of the war as reflected in various media across national cultures, addressing the complex connections between the cultural post-memory…
The naked male body in the war film
The purpose of this article is to delineate the spectrum of meanings created by the exposure and the covering of the male body in international war cinema. The analysis will focus on the symptomatic situations in which the soldier discards his uniform or hides it under layers of clothing, e.g. initiation into the army, bathing, military defeat, psychological breakdown. The article proposes a typology of male bodies, including different national v…
