Abstract:

This essay outlines key cases of sports diplomacy practiced by Japan with the assistance of the Allied Occupation Authorities after the Second World War. Both Japan and the occupation overlord employed sports to good effect as a tool for reshaping Japan’s national image as one of a rule-abiding civilized society and buttressing the idea of US–Japanese friendship during the Cold War. Both amateur and professional sports heroes played a part in these binational efforts.

This article links the myths of France during the Second World War with Joseph Campbell’s concept of the monomyth by arguing that, during the Occupation, France played host to heroes and anti-heroes each “with a thousand faces”. It provides an insight into various tiers of society at the time; bureaucratic, clandestine and victimized. By analyzing archetypal characters (collaborator, resistant, victim), this work examines narrative trajectories against the themes of agency, responsibility and corruption.

LIT—Lingua Imperii Titi is the deformed language of Titoism. With it, the communist minority tried to control the majority. In this article, it is emphasized on the examples of mass killing sites and graves that the Titoist elite is trying to conceal the crimes of Titoism, which is why most casualties of the Second World War and the revolution became taboo. LIT has falsely presented communists to be national heroes as the only heroes from the Partisan movement. LIT claims and emphasizes that a majority of the population followed Titoism. However, more than half of the casualties of the Second

Abstract:

Abstract The narratives of homecoming told during the last years of the Second World War and the first few years of peace drew on the elements of a literary romance: valiant heroes, loyal heroines, and a period of hardship culminating in the hero's triumphant return and the welcoming embrace of the woman he'd left behind. The moment of reunion, however, heralded the beginning of another story: veterans' reintegration into family life in the wake of war and separation. This paper examines the renegotiation of relationships between male war veterans and their spouses, children, and parents. Usin

Abstract:

During The Second World War somewhere between fifty thousand and five hundred thousand people risked their lives, and often the lives of their families, to help rescue Jews from Nazi persecution. These acts included helping Jews sustain their lives in the face of persecution, escape from incarceration centers, maintain an underground existence and escape the country. Their acts were clearly morally worthy, yet given the actual and potential costs involved, many of these acts seem to go beyond what could be morally demanded of agents in that situation.

During the occupation in the Second World War, British and American soldiers in the Greater-Reykjavik area replaced Icelandic place names with English ones which were easier for them to pronounce and read, and they also anglicized some Icelandic names.

The US soldiers were, on the other hand, more fond of names of heroes and generals in the US army. The English place names never really gained a foothold in Iceland after the Second World War, an

Concern for the complexity of complicity was also apparent in Les Temps modernes circles, however, and it was precisely complicity, both in the form of violence of French troops and of the habituation or indifference of the broader French public, that editor Simone de Beauvoir termed a ‘tetanus of the imagination’.

Alpine skiing played a central role in the nation-building process of the Second Austrian Republic. To this day skiing in Austria is a national affair of the highest rank. In post-war-narratives, celebrated stars became untouchable. They served as national heroes and role models for the tourism industry and media. Sport officials and state politicians made it their task to present skiing as the national sport and to emphasize Austria’s hegemonic role in it. In the wake of this operetta-like depiction, myths and male-dominated heroic stories have inscribed themselves in the seemingly innocent w

The role of journalists, photojournalists, cameramen, eyewitness bloggers, and recorders, all those heroic media professionals who strive to tell the world the truth about Russian aggression, is invaluable. We will talk about those Ukrainian and foreign journalists who are accredited by the Ukrainian authorities, in particular, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, and not by Russian institutions or administrations in the territories occupied and unrecognised by the international community. The article is dedicated to journalists (both Ukrainian and foreign) who, firstly, fulfil their profession

Abstract:

A prominent feature of Norwegian nationalism in the second half of the nineteenth century and in the first half of the twentieth century was its use of Norway’s Viking and medieval history. This use is visible in Norwegian popular and political culture of the period with, among other things, the Norwegianization of city names and the emergence of the Dragon style. This article examines the role of commemoration of Viking heroes in Norwegian street names and memory sites in the period 1850-1940. In doing so, the article identifies who were remembered, when and where, and shows how there was an

AbstractScholarly and popular histories of Kenya largely agree that African Second World War veterans played a central role in the Kenya Land Freedom Army. Former African members of the colonial security forces have reinforced these assumptions by claiming to have been covert Mau Mau supporters, either after their discharge, or as serving soldiers. In reality, few Mau Mau generals had actual combat experience. Those who served in the colonial military usually did so in labor units or support arms. It therefore warrants asking why so many Kenyans accept that combat veterans played such a centra

Poland and Ukraine have a lot of problems in establishing bilateral remembrance policy, first of all because of the history after World War I, and as well in topic connected to – mostly in frame of stereotypes – the history during The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Deep russification and anti-Polish state policy, which lasted from XVIII to XXI century, implemented by Russians in Ukraine should be underlined as well. Not only “Ukrainian” meant second category, but also world “Polski Pan” (Polish Lord) had a definite pejorative tone then – it was used even in propaganda during Soviet Invasion i

The memoirs of Georgy Zhukov “Memories and Reflections”, the story of Viktor Nekrasov “In the Trenches of Stalingrad” and the novel by Viktor Astafyev “Cursed and Killed” were selected for in-depth analysis, justified by their living memory of the Second World War as direct participants.

Background. The article deals with the reflection of the First World War of 1914–1918 in the monumental art of Poland. Therefore, memorial buildings and monuments are not only the realization of the creative plan of artists, i.e. their authors, but also a re-flection of a political course of the state, the experience gained, hopes, expectations, losses of people. That is why they allow us to understand the memory of the First World War in Poland. Purpose. The aim of the article is to study how the events of the First World War are reflected in the monumental art of Poland, and on this basis to

This hero thinks of himself as a historian by taking into account what preceded written history. What precedes official history is not only what has not been recorded in human existence, but above all those values that establish our planet. The comprehensive historical opinion about Italy and Rome, as Crnjanski examines in fiction, also implies a geological und

One such plaque, requiring restoration, is from Reszel, commemorating soldiers from the local Roman Catholic parish who fell in the battles with Napoleon in the years 1813–1815.

Abstract:

Around the end of the aughts, France witnessed another resurgence of cinematic interest in the Second World War, with a spate of films released between 2008–2011 being linked by a particular focus on “memory work”. This article examines three of them: L’Armée du crime (Robert Guédiguian, 2009), Liberté/Korkoroedom (Tony Gatlif, 2010) and Les Hommes libres (Ismaël Ferroukhi, 2011). Although the Holocaust is of secondary (if unavoidable) importance in these films, this article argues that their objective is less to revisit the genocide perpetrated against Europe’s Jews than to shed light on prev
