Section Info: Topic: World War I in the Global Twentieth Century Description: This year, 2016, marks the hundred-second anniversary of the onset of WWI. Lasting from 1914 to 1918 and known as "The Great War" to those unaware that more carnage would soon blight the history of the twentieth century, WWI stands as the first incarnation in human history of modern industrial warfare on a truly global scale. This bloody conflict permanently recast the ways in which nations and peoples have considered, experienced and commemorated not just military conflict, but both Western and global culture, society, industry, politics and economic writ large. Our class, which will be team-taught by Professors Tamara Chaplin and Peter Fritzsche, attempt to come to grips with WWI's astonishing historical legacy. Our canvas is broad: we will study the chronology of the war, the war's psychological and embodied effects, as well as the artistic and cultural attempts to acknowledge, represent and memorialize its devastation.
