From the First World War to Iraq
This paper takes the form of a dialogue between two lecturers reflecting on the teaching of war literature at postgraduate and undergraduate levels. Cristina Pividori introduces a course designed for the MA in English Studies at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, shaped by the Beyond Postmemory research group. Her module explores how second- and later-generation Anglophone writers revisit twentieth- and twenty-first-century conflicts through …
Crossing representational borders in Lola Arias’ Minefield/Campo Minado
This paper analyses how borders are negotiated in Lola Arias’ Minefield/Campo Minado (2016). Arias’ representation of the war experiences and traumatic memories of six veterans, three from each side of the Malvinas/Falklands war, suggests an effort to reframe fixed categorizations around the conflict and cross temporal, spatial and aesthetic borders. We will study the articulation of these borders as devices for verbalizing the continuities and d…
Prefer not, eh?”
Although the First World War has become history by now, the memory of the war continues to be repeatedly fictionalised: retrospectively inspired narratives are often regarded as more genuine and far-reaching than historical or documentary accounts in their rendition of the past. Yet, memory is creatively selective, reflecting a highly-conflicted process of sifting and discerning what should be remembered, neglected or amplified from the stream of…
Of Heroes, Ghosts, and Witnesses
Drawing on some of the autobiographical narratives written by the war poets, this article focuses on the ghost not only as the clearest expression of the myth of the Great War but also as a counter-model undermining traditionally heroic patterns and unmasking certain narratives and identities that had been marginalized, excluded, or repressed. By assessing the ghost as a shadow of the hero, the ghost as a vehicle between life and death and the gh…
War Heroes and Pacifists on the Same Front
This article explores the notion of heroism in Victorian war literature by analyzing the figure of the soldier-hero in two imperial war memoirs: Captain Mowbray Thomson’s The Story of Cawnpore: The Indian Mutiny and John Pearman’s The Radical Soldier’s Tale. While The Story of Cawnpore is an emblematic example of what we call the Victorian hero myth, that is, the effective merging of traditional heroism, war as adventure and imperialism in mid-to…
The Soldier as Good Samaritan
This article uses the other and the idea of othering to study male bonding and self-identification in John Pearman's The Radical Soldier's Tale. Instead of strengthening bonds of institutionalized male comradeship based on the exclusion of the Indian enemy, the radical soldier John Pearman, a working-class man who occupies positions of liminality in British imperial self-other distinctions, claims that being a man does not mean rejecting the diff…
