Political violence, war, elections. The fate of politics is history. However, how politics becomes history is an open question. Often this occurs with contention, as politics becomes narrative and actors contest the narratives of past events. To explore these phenomena, this course asks how and why we remember what we remember about politics and how political events become the battlegrounds of public memory. To that end, we will explore the politics of memory through remembrances of wartime experiences, taking as our major guides the American Civil War and the First and Second World Wars. In so doing, we will discover that the public memory and the remembrance of politics are intimately intertwined and contentious processes, both on the page and in practice. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to creatively explore these complex processes at work in their own communities as a major component of the course.
