War, Memory, and Culture seeks to publish scholarly monographs that examine the construction of armed conflict within what is variously termed collective, cultural, or public memory.
Books in this series will also include personal writings that grapple with issues pertaining to war and its cultural representation, annotated editions of popular literary works that have helped shape collective memory of past wars, and, when appropriate, collections of especially groundbreaking scholarly essays focused on military commemoration or remembrance.
International in scope and not limited to any particular conflict or historical period, the series will recognize the sprawling, interdisciplinary nature of memory studies, welcoming submissions from historians, literary critics, rhetoricians, media scholars, visual-arts experts, anthropologists, and others.
The series is supported by the Center for the Study of War and Memory at the University of South Alabama. The Center hopes to make this initiative more than just another book series. The Center’s website will host a project website for each book, including podcast interviews with series authors, as well as supplemental materials for each book in the form of texts or video. Professor Susan McCready serves as the editor of the Center’s online content.
