Their changing configurations and content are explored as reflections of the social and political context in which they exist. Curating of the Great War has expanded beyond the walls of museum buildings, seeking public engagement, both direct and digital, and taking in whole landscapes. Recognizing this fact, the book examines these museums as standing at the nexus of historiography, museology, anthropology, archaeology, sociology and politics as well as being a \u003ci\u003elieux de mémoire\u003c\/i\u003e. Their multi-vocal nature makes them a compelling subject for research and above all the book highlights that it is in these museums that we see the most complete fusion of the material culture of conflict with its historical, political and experiential context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an essential read for researchers of the reception of the Great War through material culture and museums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54237903520088,"sku":"9781032202693","price":50.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032202693_e543ad27-d32a-4977-8922-c7a0cecf8e99.jpg?v=1779173114","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/curating-the-great-war","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
