The Great War from the Periphery: Representing and Remembering the First World War in Swedish and Chilean War Museums
Scholarship on the representation of the First World War in war museums in countries who fought during the war has grown exponentially in the last three decades. Less attention has been given to how the war is represented in countries who were not involved in the conflict. This article examines the museal representation of the First World War through a comparative analysis of exhibits in war museums in two countries that maintained their neutrali…

War without Pain? Representing Death and Injury in the War of the Pacific (1879-1884) in Chilean Museums
This article examines how Chilean museums that exhibit war handles the bodily consequences of war and weapons upon the human body through an investigation of how death and injury in the War of the Pacific (1879-1884) is represented in a museal context. Are Chilean museums able to defetishise historical weapons and other forms of voyeurism? By analysing two permanent galleries and one temporary exhibit, this article argues that Chilean museums are…
Becoming Chilean: Hipólito Gutiérrez and the Construction of Chilean National Identity During the War of the Pacific (1879–1881)
This article investigates a memoir written in 1881 by Hipólito Gutiérrez, a semi-literate man from rural Chile, about his experiences as a soldier in the War of the Pacific (1879–1884). Through a microhistorical approach, it seeks to contextualize the memoir with the aim of uncovering how Gutiérrez constructed himself to be Chilean through his participation in the war. Unlike assessments made by past scholars, Gutiérrez cannot be considered repre…
White Mythic Space: Racism, the First World War, and ›Battlefield 1‹
The fall of 2016 saw the release of the widely popular First World War video game Battlefield 1 . Upon the game's initial announcement and following its subsequent release, Battlefield 1 became the target of an online racist backlash that targeted the game's inclusion of soldiers of color. Across social media and online communities, players loudly proclaimed the historical inaccuracy of black soldiers in the game and called for changes to be made…
Together with Bloody Knife in South Vietnam: Old West Metaphors and the Kit Carson Scouts during the Vietnam War
The Vietnam War saw widespread usage by American soldiers of metaphors and imagery referencing the mythic Old West of American history. This article examines a case of an Old West reference that has been overlooked in previous research: The Kit Carson Scouts, former PLAF and PAVN soldiers who had volunteered to work for the United States. I argue that Americans, ranging from high ranking officers to enlisted men, used Old West metaphors and image…
Phan Chot’s Choice: Agency and Motivation among the Kit Carson Scouts during the Vietnam War, 1966–1973
Through a focus on agency and motivation, this article attempts to reach conclusions about the choices made by PLAF and PAVN defectors for continuing their lives as combatants in the employment of the United States Armed Forces as part of the Kit Carson Scout Program. Using predominantly fragmentary personal accounts found in divisional newspapers, this article concludes that Kit Carson Scouts joined for a variety of personal reasons that include…
The Great War and the Use of Video Games as Historical and Educational Resources: A Conversation
Iro Filippaki and Stefan Aguirre Quiroga exchange their views on the potentiality of video games as historical and educational resources in the study of the First World War
Race, Battlefield 1 and the White Mythic Space of the First World War
The popular perception of the First World War has remained an inherently white mythic space in which white men fight against other white men and where minorities, when and if they are featured, are given an anonymous secondary role and are subject to the will and motivation of their white heroic leaders. This article will be considering the white mythic space of the First World War by focusing on the video game Battlefield 1 (2016) and investigat…
