Description
The monograph deals with the cultural history of physical violence during World War I and the subsequent post-war recovery in the Czech and Austrian lands and South Tyrol. The book is divided into three parts, focusing on collective, individual, and sexual violence. The cultural history of violence serves here as a means of understanding the changing mentalities of broad popular strata, the development of expert knowledge, and the media discourse on the transformations of local communities as a result of the devastating war conflict. Thus, the book provides an innovative perspective on the history of the disintegration and reconstitution of the Central European region due to World War I.
