CFP - Amsterdamer Beiträge zur neueren Germanistik (special issue on air war)
Proposals are invited for contributions to a volume of essays on the air war in Europe from 1937-1945. Historical
essays that place the European air war in historical context - e.g. strategic bombing during WWI, warfare against
colonial possessions during the interwar years, the bombing war against Japan, etc - are welcome, but our main interest
is in critical studies on literary or cinematic representations of and reflections on the bombing war conducted by
and/or against Germany during the Second World War. We wish to move beyond moral and political arguments about who
should and should not be presented as victims (as elicited, for instance, by the publication of Jörg Friedrich's Der
Brand). Although we recognize that representations and narratives are often, if not always, morally and politically
inflected, we also assume as normal that all people be able to tell their stories, no matter who the people or what the
stories are. Therefore, we are looking for studies that directly deal with representations (in, for instance, novels,
poetry, paintings, memorials, photographs, films) of the bombing war, its effects (on aircrews or victims in Spain,
Poland, the Netherlands, England, Germany, or elsewhere), its efficacy, and the efforts to remember or efface the
memory of its effects after the war. We are also interested in examinations of why such representations may be rare or
lacking in certain national literary traditions (for instance, the post-war German literary tradition, as claimed by
Sebald).
Possible topics include:
German literature on air war (Nossack; Ledig; Kluge; et.al.)
American/British/Dutch/French/ Polish/Russian/Spanish etc. literature on air war
Air war & film
Public memory and memorials
The distinction between memory & history
Air war & international law
Taboo & repression (psychological and/or social)
The role of photography (as means of warfare and as representation of warfare's effects)
Narrative form and leitmotifs
Language and style
Please e-mail abstracts of c. 200 words to both the editors by 1 June 2004:
