It explores thematic continuities in the post-conflict representation of battlefield identities, from the 25th anniversary of the Franco-Prussian War in 1895 to the demise of the Weimar Republic in 1933. Using 40 carefully chosen images from both high and low culture, Paul Fox discusses complex and interdependent responses in German visual culture to a wide spectrum of operational military experience. These include regional conflict, total war, internal security operations and border skirmishes during the period. The book demonstrates how conservative artists, illustrators, photographers, and sculptors engaged in representing this full spectrum of conflict were preoccupied with the inequalities of battlefield encounters and the consequential quest for moral advantage. They furnished material that exemplified everything positive the ideal German male could hope to be when at war - even when the outcome was defeat. Their construction of an imagined martial masculinity based on an aggressive moral superiority was so deeply rooted that the continuities taken forward eventually provided a basis for a programmatic imagining of how Germany might again exert its political presence as a great military power in Central Europe after 1918. The Image of the Soldier in German Culture, 1871--1933 is an important volume for any historian interested in cultural history, the history of modern Germany or the First World War."--Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933683 611 27 $a World War (1914-1918) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180746 651 0 $a Germany $x Historiography. $x Historiography. 650 0 $a Soldiers in art. 650 0 $a Soldiers $z Germany $x History. 650 0 $a Franco-Prussian War, 1870-1871 $v Art and the war. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $v Art and the war. 650 0 $a Masculinity in art. 650 0 $a Militarism $z Germany. 650 7 $a Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958221 650 7 $a Masculinity in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011039 650 7 $a Militarism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01020839 650 7 $a Soldiers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01125233 650 7 $a Soldiers in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01125332 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 648 7 $a 1870-1918 $2 fast 655 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423702 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Military history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411630 776 08 $i Online version: $a Fox, Paul (Art historian), author. $t Image of the soldier in German culture, 1871-1933 $d London ; New York : Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, [2018] $z 9781474226158 $w (DLC) 2017050876 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210021257.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9375889A580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
