Contributions are invited for a conference which will take place at the University of Caen on 27th, 28th and 29th May 2010.

It is hoped to extend the work done during the first Regards Croisés / Varieties of Experience workshops on representations of the two World Wars by widening the scope of the conference to all twentieth and twenty-first century conflicts.

Papers are invited on any aspect of representation/interpretation of war.

A non-exhaustive list of themes would include

• Representing the enemy
• Representing allies
• Experiencing unfamiliarity
• Making sense of events
• The Unspeakable
• Representing technology

Supports may include graphic art (including posters, political cartoons and graphic novels), photography (including vernacular photography), fiction, poetry, life-writing, journalism, film, video etc. Papers are also invited on commemorative supports (museums, monuments, heritage centres, paths and trails, cemeteries).    

Further information may be obtained from the organizers Renée Dickason or Claire Bowen.
