Historiography and Memory Studies – World War I class
Here are some videos you
need to watch this week.
« Reinforcing war
priorities in song in Britain and France 1914-1918 : why were the French
and British repertoires so radically different ? »
This was a 20 minutes research
paper I gave a few years back : as you will see, research papers are quite
dense and there is a lot of information. The talk takes what appears to be a
fairly straightforward source – songs will sell well – and shows how the
differences which we find may not be due to the most obvious reasons.
This one is also 20 minutes
long and is entitled « The many and varied uses of wartime popular song ».
Finally, watch at least
part of this lecture, which is longer. It is by Jay Winter, one of the foremost
historians working on World War One
