Summary/Abstract |
This exhibition is Tate Britain’s contribution to the range of events taking place to mark the centenary of the end of the First World War. It explores the impact of the First World War on the art of Britain, France and Germany between 1916 and 1932. It shows how Western artists attempted to explore and process the powerful psychological trauma of those who survived the war, through differing approaches, media and subject matter, and how Western art was affected.

Summary/Abstract |
Three years ago, when everyone commemorated the World War One centenary, Christopher Clark's The Sleepwalkers topped the best-seller list. The book describes how the leaders of great powers, consumed with vanity and ambitions but not actually seeking confrontation, plunged Europe into a senseless massacre. It destroyed the world order and caused instability that lasted over three decades and included a new world war.

Summary/Abstract |
In 1917, the United States was far from a cohesive entity. Using the events surrounding World War One as a natural laboratory to trace the construction of a unified American identity, this article adds to the debate on the political sociology of identity frames and nationalism. Using an event-frame - model to analyze the discourse reflected in pamphlets disseminated by the Wilson administration, I demonstrate how identity frames evolved and increasingly relied on enemy images to strengthen the in-group coherence of American citizens. Thus, paying attention to the political dynamics of frame evolution is crucial in understanding the emergence of salient identities.
