WWI, Brill
This is a call for contributors. We are especially interested in transnational comparisons. Here are some possible themes that Julian and I have worked out. We are more than open to suggestions for themes that we have overlooked.
Censorship and the war
Presenting the war in the Colonies and Neutral Countries
1. Near East
2. Africa
3. Far East
4. The Commonwealth
5. Neutral Countries
6. The United States
Propaganda perspectives
Possible chapters:
1. Gendering the war
2. Domestic Mobilization
3. Justifications for fighting/the "Will to Fight"
4. The war in occupied territory
5. Keeping Russia in the war
6. Culture (Art/Music/Literature) and propaganda
7. Propaganda and the Peace(s) [Versailles, Brest-Litovsk, ...]
8. Recording Victory and Defeat: Frontline reporting and the military
9. Propaganda and peace movements
The items above are not meant to be exhaustive, nor are we committed to having all of them in the volume. They are simply examples of the types of contributions that would be appropriate for the volume as we have conceived it. The language of the volume will be English, but there is some money for translating (possibly three chapters).
Once enough potential contributors have signed on to the project, Julian and I will create a proposal for a contract. Once the contract is in hand, contributors would have 14-18 months to complete their contribution. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes,
