The Boxer War

Media and Memory of an Imperialist Intervention. Edited by Thoralf Klein. Exploring the media coverage of the Boxer War in Western countries as well as in Chinese provinces, this international volume identifies media as the key link between a historical event and its memory. Moving beyond a narrow definition of media, the eight contributions include a number of media types that have been rarely, if at all, studied before in this context - for example the analysis of German soldiers' letters, parliamentary debates as a form of performative medium, games and toys, periodicals, adventure novels, and school textbooks as well as archival practices of storing and ordering records -, examining the dynamics between various types of media in a plurimedial setting, explicitly including comparative research. Tracing the relationship between media and time, this volume also adresses the question how historical memory is transmitted via media to present times and how the Boxer War became a historical point of reference in its own right. 293 Seiten mit einigen Abb., gebunden (Kolonialismus und postkoloniale Perspektiven; Vol. 1/Solivagus Praeteritum 2020) leichte Lagerspuren/near mint
