Описание: The Great War continues to play a prominent role in contemporary consciousness. With commemorative activities involving seventy-two countries, its centenary is a titanic undertaking: not only ‘the centenary to end all centenaries’ but the first truly global period of remembrance. In this innovative volume, the authors examine First World War commemoration in an international, multidisciplinary and comparative context. The contributions draw on history, politics, geography, cultural studies and sociology to interrogate the continuities and tensions that have shaped national commemoration and the social and political forces that condition this unique international event. New studies of Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific address the relationship between increasingly fractured grand narratives of history and the renewed role of the state in mediating between individual and collective memories. Released to coincide with the beginning of the 2014–2018 centenary period, this collection illuminates the fluid and often contested relationships amongst nation, history and memory in Great War commemoration.

Описание: This is the first in-depth study of urban ritual in relation to the British industrial setting. Centring on a case study of three communities which witnessed contrasting experiences of industrialisation, it charts the way municipal ceremony was utilised to showcase urban development, local identity and community pride. By drawing upon municipal records, press reports, visual culture and ephemera, it considers a wide range of public events such as royal celebrations and commemorations, urban development ceremonies, local jubilees and public funerals, to uncover the evolution of civic ritual over a century. This represents a significant step forward in relation to the burgeoning field of urban ritual studies by recognizing the importance of precedent in the planning of civic ritual and its potential to be a form of entertainment. In doing so, it establishes the way municipal politicians and community leaders utilized civic ritual to convey specific meaning and to rival neighbouring towns and cities. Civic Ritual, Commemoration and Public Celebration in Urban Britain, 1850-1950 makes an original contribution to the literature on civic ritual by comparing and contrasting previously unconnected ceremonial events. While previous studies suggest that civic ritual declined from the late 19th century, this study demonstrates that local celebrations were remade as recreational opportunities in response to cultural change. The interdependency of seemingly unrelated civic events is made clear, as similar or identical civic ritual was repeated for various ceremonies. Through the adoption of recreational commemoration and the use of modern technology, the public became active participants in municipal ceremony. This allowed civic ritual to be implemented in a manner which kept pace with socio-cultural development and the mass leisure industry, shedding considerable light on the national use of urban ceremony in the process.
