Title: Representing Wars from 1860 to the Present
Subtitle: Fields of Action, Fields of Vision
Description: *Representing Wars from 1860 to the Present* examines representations of war in literature, film, photography, memorials, and the popular press. The volume breaks new ground in cutting across disciplinary boundaries and offering case studies on a wide variety of fields of vision and action, and types of conflict: from civil wars in the USA, Spain, Russia and the Congo to recent western interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the case of World War Two, *Representing Wars* emphasises idiosyncratic and non-western perspectives - specifically those of Japanese writers Hayashi and Ooka.
A central concern of the thirteen contributors has been to investigate the ethical and ideological implications of specific representational choices.
