Description: Images of the enemy continue to play a significant role in the commemorative activities of many nations, and have often been cast in permanently offensive form in war memorials. For the first time, Loretana de Libero examines these "ardent passions" and their artistic expression in the memorial landscapes of Germany and its wartime enemies from the perspective of research on emotions and stereotypes.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 359-422) and indexes.
