  Call for papers - Modern

  Représentations des guerres modernes

  Champs d'action, champs de vision

  The purpose of the conference is both to continue our investigations into: subject choices, what is seen/unseen/shown in representations of war?; “mise en abîme” in war narratives – war as a spectacle, “theatres of war” and the dramatization/production of war; perspective and focalization – framing, distortion, expansion, filtering in war narratives; genre and mode – the persistence and appropriation of traditional models of war writing and graphic representation, including epic, tragedy, mythology, elegy, mock epic, realistic/mimetic mode, but also the deconstruction and questioning of these models; war and virtual reality/hyper-reality; aesthetic and ideological problems associated with the over- or under-representation of conflicts, abstraction, distancing, representing horror.
