Much of the scholarship on the Great War, and especially the
Dardanelles/Canakkale campaign, has been viewed through a narrow
national prism focused exclusively on military aspects of the
engagement. This new collection of essays offers fresh perspectives from
countries on both sides of the trenches of Gallipoli. Examined here are
intersections of art and memory, and the role that material culture and
museums play in the representation and commemoration of war. The ideas
and writing included here draw on fiction, poetry and diaries, as well
as new digital media, which together frame the memory of war. Our
ongoing encounter with Gallipoli's much-contested landscape takes on new
hues and reveals untold stories. Beyond Gallipoli takes an innovative
approach to the varied and controversial cultural legacies of an event,
which continues to shape the identity of Australia, New Zealand, and
Turkey. Contributors include: Jessie Birkett-Rees, Frank Bongiorno,
Kevin Fewster, Raelene Frances, Bill Gammage, Janda Gooding, Paul Gough,
A. Candan Kirisci, Raynald Harvey Lemelin, Jenny MacLeod, Sharon
Mascall-Dare, Jock Phillips, Peter Pierce, Robin Prior, Matthew
Ricketson, Bruce Scates, and Tom Sear. (Series: ?Australian History)
