New Perspectives in a New Era
Series:
War (Hi) Stories, Volume: 5
Volume Editor:
In the #MeToo era, the scourge of sexual violence in society has come into new focus. It has become clear that women and men have been, and are, victimized to an extent that many had previously not realized. But this invisibility has largely been aided by a history of silencing victims and of impunity for perpetrators. Wartime and military sexual violence has similar patterns of invisibility, silence and impunity. Furthermore, sexual violence in wartime and beyond is a phenomenon that cannot be divorced from broader social, economic and political issues. It is this dual focus on sexual violence itself and its contexualization that lies at the heart of this volume. This volume probes new directions in understanding sexual violence during conflict, as well as analyzing ethnicity, masculinity and their relationships to sexual violence.

The series (Hi)Stories is an English publication project that deals with interdisciplinary questions in the field of War Studies.
Its main purpose is to highlight issues relating to war not only from a historical, but especially from a cultural perspective. It therefore focusses on the relationship between war and factors such as geography, gender roles, literature, art etc. Focusing on the papers delivered at a number of international conferences (e.g. War and Geography 2015, War and Rape 2016), the new series is an international forum for the publication of qualitative research works (dissertations or habilitations).
English was chosen as the language of publication in order to secure and reach an international audience and to provide a global network of researchers in the field of War Studies.

A crucial collection of new insights into a topic too often ignored in military history: the close interrelationship between cities and warfare throughout modern history. Scenes of Aleppo’s war-torn streets may be shocking to the world’s majority urban population, but such destruction would be familiar to urban dwellers as early as the third millennium BCE. While war is often narrated as a clash of empires, nation-states, and ‘civilizations’, cities have been the strategic targets of military campaigns, to be conquered, destroyed, or occupied. Cities have likewise been shaped by war, whether transformed for the purposes of military production, reconstructed after bombardment, or renewed as sites for remembering the costs of war. This conference volume draws on the latest research in military and urban history to understand the critical intersection between war and cities.

Unsere Gesellschaft will immer sicherer werden, sich schützen und möglichst alle Gefahren verbannen. Und dennoch: Immer wieder geben wir freiwillig unsere Sicherheiten auf, suchen gezielt nach Abenteuern. Ein paradoxes Bedürfnis? Das Buch deckt auf, wie Menschen immer wieder ihre einmal erlangten Sicherheiten preisgaben und preisgeben, um Abenteuer zu suchen. Aber was genau suchten sie eigentlich? Was fanden sie? Diesen Fragen gehen zehn Kapitel über Abenteuer und Abenteurer von den Kreuzzügen bis ins 20. Jahrhundert nach. Es zeigt sich: Das Abenteuer ist auf vielerlei Weise ein Ort der Sinnproduktion – nicht nur für den, der auszieht, es zu suchen, sondern auch für diejenigen, zu denen er es zurückträgt.
The Cultural Impact of the First World War
Series:
War (Hi) Stories, Volume: 2
The battles of the First World War created a fundamentally new impression of war. Total warfare, the use of propaganda, chemical weapons, and every possible other measure to ensure victory defined the event that should later be known as the »Great War«, because it caused so many deaths and much suffering. The catastrophe also had an impact on the humanities, which inevitably had to deal with the processing of an event that seemed to be too big to be clearly understood by the human mind. The present volume covers several interdisciplinary perspectives by dealing with the impact of the war on the humanities during and after the conflict that deeply influenced the mindset of the 20th century.
