WHEN WAR BECOMES PEACE Let's Talk Public History
-
- History
I’m Maxime and I’m a student at the University of Luxembourg. My podcast discuss about the use of war memories to create a historical narrative, constructed and narrated for political purposes.
From Ancient Greece in the 5th century, where images of soldiers are painted on vases, to the commemoration of the centenary of the First World War by President Macron, the theme of war has been used repeatedly by peaceful regimes to construct a historical narrative.
In my podcast, I talk about the recurrence of this theme throughout history and geography. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us, once again, the use of history and that theme. In the UK, the fundraising of Sir Captain Tom Moore -then his 100th birthday and his death during the vaccination campaign ; and the death of Prince Philip - have become an opportunity for PM Boris Johnson and the British medias to present these two people well as former soldiers and to expose their personal stories as a symbol of the United Kingdom, especially for the future of this country after the Brexit.
Also, my podcast talks about peace the founding value of the European Union ; as realized on memories of war, that are presented during historical speeches.
