Telling Trauma: Discourse of War in the 20th Century
This panel will examine both men and women's responses to war and
warfare in the twentieth century, a time period that changed the ways that
war is perceived. It will investigate the question of the human capacity to
"see" war -- whether from the point of view of soldiers, journalists,
battlefront tourists, scientific observers, witnesses, or other more removed
participants. The nature of "seeing" becomes important to any depiction of
the experience of war, and to the hidden truths about war that such work may
reveal. Ultimately, then, this panel intends to recover further the ways in
which writers have tried to voice the trauma of modern war.
Please submit 500-word abstracts by September 15, 2001, to:
