Full textAbstract:
China is one of the countries that paid a precious price during World War II. In this unprecedented human catastrophe, as an important force in the world’s anti-fascist alliance and the main battlefield of the East, China, together with other countries committed to gaining the national and international independence and made significant national sacrifices and historical contributions to eventually win the Warof Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In that critical era, British poet W. H. Auden went to China in 1938 with his close friend and companion, British writer Christopher Isherwood to witness the reality and became the first pack to make it known to the world. As a war correspondent, he recorded the Chinese battlefield under World War II from a perspective that transcended any particular national, racial, gender, class, and touching writing style, leaving behind many precious first-hand materials, which are extremely valuable in history and literary ethics and inspiring for future generations.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines W. Faulkner’s prose, notes and essays devoted to the First World War. It is pointed out that the military theme became pervasive in the creative works of the writer who had no combat experience. The experience of a non-combatant affected the artistic legacy of the author, who to a lesser extent sought to recreate the front-line entourage and armed struggle on the battlefield, but focused on the figures of the civilian character and the soldier who returned home to the US South, where references to the Civil War were still relevant. The author reinterpreted the motif of loss, drew attention to the continuous war and war as profitable business motifs.

Some notes on the writing of Assia Djebar (woman, history, memory and language) The works of Assia Djebar, a French-speaking Algerian writer (1936‒2015), are a battlefield for the preservation of the history of Algeria, as well as the struggle for the emancipation of Islamic women, for the cultural diversity of Algeria and for liberation from the terror of fundamentalists. In this article, we would like to show the extent to which Djebar’s writing is inscribed in the memory, history and present day of Algeria, where women are the guardians of the past and the native language, and the language of the former colonizer is an achievement that allows to convey and preserve the deepest layers of collective memory.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe article analyses two literary texts by the Italian writer Carlo Emilio Gadda: the anti-fascist satire Eros e Priapo, written between 1944 and 1945; and the novel Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana, first published in 1946. The deformed descriptions of the human figure in these texts are contextualised alongside a collection of anti-fascist caricatures from the same period, Enrico Gianeri’s Il Cesare di cartapesta (1945), and read as emotional symptoms of ongoing social conflicts. In fascist Italy, the representation of the body becomes the battlefield where a few resisting emotional communities contrast the strict management of public sentiment performed by the regime. In this context, deformations of the image of Mussolini and fascist society can be interpreted as performances of anger that deconstruct the official emotional regime and reveal the regime of fear on which fascism built its power.

Full textAbstract:
This article proposes a Debordian reading of Michel Houellebecq’s first work Extension du domaine de la lutte that would thrust him into the spotlight as France’s most popular and controversial writer. Specifically, this investigation demonstrates that Debord’s theories are a useful lens from which to analyze Houellebecq’s harsh critique of late capitalism. Owing to a radical paradigm shift in the capitalist paradigm, Debord and Houellebecq posit that we live in a brave new world in which millions of individuals no longer have a frame of reference for distinguishing between commonplace reality and its simulation on a screen. On the informational battlefield where simulations of the good(s) life have proliferated themselves to the brink of replacing the real in the collective imagination of consumer citizens, they illustrate that the timeless search for happiness also seems to be even more fraught with peril in the 21st century.

Full textAbstract:
Representation of war experiences in Zoran Žmirić’s novel Blockbuster The paper analyzes the representation of the war experiences of a group of soldiers on the front line of the battlefield during the Homeland War, depicted in the novel Blockbuster (2009) by the writer Zoran Žmirić. The thematization of warrior activities is based on the intertwining of military operations and scouting actions with the presentation of personal moral doubts, psychological traumas of individuals and collectives. In the novel, the characters specific to contemporary Croatian war prose are shaped in an interesting way (figures of warriorsdefenders, enemies, victims, traitors, war invalids). Relying on the theoreticalmethodological assumptions of selected narratological concepts, literary studies of memory and theories of disability, the paper will analyze the narrative strategies used to thematize the war experience in Žmirić's action war novel; the role of retrospective narrative episodes will be investigated, the hint of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the role of amputation metaphors, and the design and purpose of warrior instruments will be also investigated.

Full textAbstract:
Conscripted as a student soldier and deployed to the Burma front, Lee Ga-hyung is a distinctive writer who literalizes the memory of the Asia-Pacific War outside of the national political logic. The narrator of the autobiographical novel <i>River of Fury</i>, written simultaneously in Korean and Japanese, positions himself as the ugliest soldier on the Burmese battlefield. And it is only through the eyes of this loser that the anti-imperialist soldier, comfort women, and guards of POW could be captured, which were not captured in the pre-existing war memoirs. In <i>River of Fury</i>, Lee continues to call out the names of those who were sacrificed for no reason during the war. He attempts to transcend national and ethnic boundaries with these calling. The exclamation of “don’t die” and “come back alive” comfort all the victims, criticize the war and empire, and elevate <i>River of Fury</i> into a complete literary work.

Full textAbstract:
The study examines the contrasting linguistic styles of Ashley and Ada Wong in the Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023) game. The aim is to identify the women's linguistic features used by these characters using Coates' (2013) theory. They determine the most frequently occurring types and analyze the social factors influencing their language based on Holmes' (2013) framework. Using a qualitative method, the research involved a detailed analysis of the game dialogues to uncover patterns and differences in language use. The results show that the writer found seven women's linguistic features in Ashley's utterances and six women's linguistic features in Ada Wong's utterances. It indicates that Ashley uses traditional women's linguistic features, but despite her high-class background, she can utter swear words in certain situations. Conversely, Ada Wong, familiar with the battlefield and her interactions with men, manages her emotions without swearing. Additionally, her language features often mirror men's linguistic styles. This study concludes that social backgrounds and factors, including participants, setting, topic, and function, significantly influence the women's linguistic features used by these two different characters.

Wijnhoven, Martijn A. European Mail Armour. Amsterdam University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9789463721264.
Full textAbstract:
Mail armour (commonly mislabelled 'chainmail') was used for more than two millennia on the battlefield. After its invention in the Iron Age, mail rapidly spread all over Europe and beyond. The Roman army, keen on new military technology, soon adopted mail armour and used it successfully for centuries. Its history did not stop there and mail played a vital role in warfare during the Middle Ages up to the Early Modern Period. Given its long history, one would think mail is a well-documented material, but that is not the case. For the first time, this books lays a solid foundation for the understanding of mail armour and its context through time. It applies a long-term multi-dimensional approach to extract a wealth of as yet untapped information from archaeological, iconographic and written sources. This is complemented with technical insights on the mail maker’s chaîne opératoire.

Full textAbstract:
Addressing its technical evolution as well as its military and social impact, this comprehensive reference shows how historic leaders such as Dionysus of Syracuse, the Ottoman sultan Mohammad II, Oliver Cromwell, and Napoleon Bonaparte were successful in battle because of their innovative use of artillery. Artillery: An Illustrated History of Its Impact charts the development of large, crew-operated battlefield weapons from the dart firers and catapults of the ancient world to the invention of gunpowder in China and its applications in medieval Europe, and from the emergence of naval and land gunnery four centuries ago to the latest rapid-fire, rocket propulsion, laser guidance, and antiaircraft technologies. Written by an expert on military history, Artillery explores the technological and strategic innovations that have made these weapons increasingly effective at breaking through fortifications, inflicting casualties from a safe distance, providing cover for advancing forces, demoralizing opponents, and defending positions from attack. Beyond the battlefield, the book also looks at the impact of artillery on history and on the lives of civilians as well as soldiers.

Full textAbstract:
This book sharpens the readers' knowledge of swords as it traverses through a captivating 1,000 years of French and English history. The book reveals that warrior culture, with the sword as its ultimate symbol, was deeply rooted in ritual long before the introduction of gunpowder weapons transformed the battlefield. The book argues that objects have agency and that decoding their meaning involves seeing them in motion: bought, sold, exchanged, refurbished, written about, displayed, and used in ceremony. Drawing on evidence about swords in the possession of nobles and royalty, the book explores the meanings people attached to them from the contexts in which they appeared. These environments included other prestige goods such as tapestries, jewels, and tableware — all used to construct and display status. The book draws on an exciting diversity of sources from archaeology, military and social history, literature, and material culture studies to inspire students and educated lay readers to stretch the boundaries of what they know as the “war and culture” genre.

Morgan, Matthew J. A Democracy Is Born. Praeger, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798400638985.
Full textAbstract:
In October 2004, more than eight million citizens of Afghanistan turned out to vote in the first democratic election in the turbulent, 5,000-year history of the country. This incredible voter turnout in the face of horrific threats and actual bullets, rockets, and bombs was a shout of defiance and a significant setback to the former Taliban regime and their al Qaeda allies. It was a stunning success and serious step forward for the Afghan people and for the United States in the campaign against international terrorism. The change is more dramatic than the American Revolution, in the aftermath of which the new American democracy maintained a representative form of government similar to its British roots. The change is also more positive than the French Revolution, which degenerated into tyranny and anarchy. The Afghan Revolution of democratic governance, albeit aided and guided by international military and political powers, is thus one of the most historic events of our time. Written by a former U.S. Army intelligence officer, this book provides readers with a candid account of Afghanistan's first presidential election and its subsequent transition to democratic self-governance. In particular, Morgan speaks to the security apparatus and the measures protecting the election. The election's security process marked a defeat for the al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorist insurgents attempting to frustrate Afghanistan's transformation into a democratic nation. Morgan's narrative of Afghan development is interspersed with firsthand, personal accounts from the author's eleven-month deployment as an officer serving in the U.S. military in Afghanistan. His stint there, embedded within the United Nations in a civilian-clothes role, enables him to write from the perspective of a UN security officer, offering insights beyond those that might be gained on the battlefield.

Full textAbstract:
To understand the long march of events in North Carolina from secession to surrender is to understand the entire Civil War-a personal war waged by Confederates and Unionists, free blacks and the enslaved, farm women and plantation belles, Cherokees and mountaineers, conscripts and volunteers, gentleman officers and poor privates. In the state’s complex loyalties, its sprawling and diverse geography, and its dual role as a home front and a battlefield, North Carolina embodies the essence of the whole epic struggle in all its terrible glory. Philip Gerard presents this dramatic convergence of events through the stories of the individuals who endured them-reporting the war as if it were happening in the present rather than with settled hindsight-to capture the dreadful suspense of lives caught up in a conflict whose ending had not yet been written. As Gerard reveals, whatever the grand political causes for war, whatever great battles decided its outcome, and however abstract it might seem to readers a century and a half later, the war was always personal.

Abstract The addition of children to a household makes a profound difference in the life of the parents. This is even more the case, perhaps, with parents of middle age, who are apt to be more set in their ways than younger parents. The change in lifestyle can be even more pronounced when a set-in-his-ways middle-aged parent is a selfemployed writer who works at home. Or what used to be home but has slowly been transformed into one-third nursery, one-third playground, one-third storage space for kidstuff, and two-fifths battlefield. Selfabsorbed monologist Spalding Gray discovered a new world at the age of fifty-six, when he found himself waking up every four hours like clockwork to make sure his infant son was still breathing. This change in lifestyle was reflected in Gray’s performance piece Morning, Noon, and Night.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The 130 extant photographs of Walt Whitman form the most extensive photographic record of any American writer who lived and died in the nineteenth century, but there are some surprising absences among this abundance of images. While most of the photos, as we would expect, are images of himself alone, in fourteen cases Whitman appears with someone else. As we consider these photos of Whitman with others, it is instructive to think about those people with whom he does not appear: he never ap-• pears with any member of his family, for example, though he had many opportunities to be photographed with, especially, his brothers George, Jeff, and Eddie, and with his beloved mother, Louisa Van Velsor Whitman. We can imagine that Whitman might have desired some lasting visual memento of his deep affection for Louisa (he always displayed a photo of her in his bedroom), or of his relationship with Jeff, partner on his New Orleans sojourn; or with George, the brother he traveled to the Fredericksburg battlefield to nurse and with whom he lived for years in Camden; or with Eddie, his retarded youngest brother, whom Whitman slept with and cared for. But, in the visual record of Whitman’s life, his family is entirely absent.

Full textAbstract:
In my study, I reviewed the literary works dealing with one of the important aristocratic families of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary, the Kanizsai family. The family has been present in Hungarian historical literature since the 19th century, irrespective of genre, and their figures are portrayed in a multitude of prosaic and lyrical works. Of the first generations, Bishop Miklós of Zagreb and, even more so, Archbishop János of Esztergom are often given episodic roles, while László Kanizsai became a recurring minor character in works about János Hunyadi and King Matthias. János was judged very differently, because the communist writer Sándor Gergely embodied in him what he fictionalized, the depraved, selfish, despotic, sadistic Hungarian aristocratic elite completely insensitive to the fate of their country that he had envisioned. Dorottya Kanizsai could be considered his opposite. The Palatine’s wife became the iconic image of the noble lady who was concerned for her nation, fearful of God, conscientious, afraid for her family and serfs, who went to the battlefield of Mohács (1526) with her serfs and servants, and buried the dead lying there, and then raised the last Kanizsai children: Ferenc and Orsolya. Apart from this, Dorottya’s figure has become intertwined with Mohács in Hungarian literature and art, and has become a symbol of female pertinence. Orsolya is perceived as an inheritor of Dorottya’s positive traits. The two female members of the family, Dorottya and Orsolya, succeeded to become the main and title characters of the novel. In addition to literature, Dorottya’s leading role becomes even clearer in the visual arts and in other official and civic contexts of historical memory. This is a unique phenomenon in the case of a family that produced the Archbishop of Esztergom, the Bishop of Zagreb, and the lords who fought in the armies of King Louis the Great and King Matthias, all of whom played leading roles for centuries. It also shows that the writers’ imagination was more captivated by the atypical and less wellknown female characters of the period, than by the sword-wielding barons who aspired to political glory. Finally, this brief analysis also draws our attention to the fact that one of the important tasks of historians is to reflect on the literary – and cinematic – representation of the subjects they research, and to promote the creation of historically authentic representations.

Abstract In some cultures, including French culture, married couples are tradition ally where power with regard to family names is exercised. If a Marie Dupont marries a Jean Dubois she becomes Marie Dubois, while also changing title, from Miss to Mrs. This was long considered to be normal and it took feminist campaigns to do away with the difference between Mrs and Miss in the USA (to be replaced by the neutral Ms), while in France we have seen Marie Dupont marry Jean Dubois and become either Marie Dupont-Dubois or Mme Marie Dupont. But it remains difficult for a Marie Dupont, who has written a book under her married name, and so has become known under the name of Dubois, to return to her maiden name after a divorce, for example. Although the operation is obviously legal, it is socially awkward, so ingrained are the conventionalities. Clearly married couples are where power with regard to family names is exercised, the power of the husband over the wife.

Full textAbstract:
Abílio Araújo, Borja da Costa, José Alexandre Gusmão, José Ramos-Horta, Nicolau Lobato and Xavier do Amaral were fighters for independence of Timor-Leste. They were also the defenders of Timorese dignity for freedom whose lives and work explored the philosophy of “ukun rasik’an.” From rhetoric, hermeneutic and ideology critique this paper examines the cultural resistance to craft “ukun rasik’an” as a spiritual and intellectual revolution, as heirs of the philosophy of liberty and philosophy of liberation. Drawing on poems published by Borja da Costa in Canções Revolucionárias (Revolutionary Songs) and articles written by Nicolau Lobato, this chapter explains their opposition to colonialism and their commitment to freedom. These individuals took up the pen and the printing press (Nakroma and Timor-Leste: Jornal Povo Mau Bere) and sought to defeat the colonialists, the occupiers and collaborationists on the battlefield of ideas. The basic thesis of this chapter is to write an insight of “native intellectual resistance” in Timor-Leste.

This chapter investigates Nicholas Rengger and his view of the conduct of war. War is always ugly, and I raise here the issue of his silence on the conduct of contemporary war. While energetic and tireless in his critique of just war and somewhat nostalgic for a past heroic age, he seemed reluctant to look directly at the consequences of war for those on the battlefield. I ask whether this weakens his position as a scholar of war, noting of course his long-held belief that it was the duty of the scholar to understand, write and teach but never to moralize.

A Farewell to Arms, written by Ernest Hemingway at the age of thirty, is widely regarded as the best American novel to come out of World War I. It tells the enduring tale of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his love affair with a stunning English nurse. This compelling, semiautobiographical work depicts the horrific realities of war and the suffering of lovers caught in its unstoppable clutches, set against the backdrop of the impending horrors of the battlefield—tired, disheartened men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the intense conflict between loyalty and desertion.
