Culture m Camouflage
aims to remap the history of British war culture by insisting on the
centrality and importance of the literature of the Second World War The book offers the
first comprehensive account of the emergence of modem war culture, arguing that its
exceptional forms and temporalities force us to reappraise British cultural modernity.
The book explores how writers like Ford Madox Ford, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen,
T. E.
Lawrence, Winston Churchill, Elizabeth Bowen,Virginia
Woolf,
James Hanley, Rex
Warnen
EvelynWaugh, Alexander Baron. Keith Douglas, Henry Green, and Graham Greene
contested the dominant narratives of war projected by an enormously powerful and
persuasive mass media and culture industry. Patrick Deer reads war literature as one
element in an expanded cultural field, which also includes popular culture and mass
communications, the productions of war planners and military historians, projections
of new technologies of violence, the fantasies and theories of strategists, and the
material culture of total war
Modern war cultures, Deer contends, are defined by their drive to normalize conflict
and war-making, by their struggle to colonize the entire wartime cultural field, and by their
claim to monopolize representations and interpretation of the conflict. But the mobilization
of cultural formations during wartime reveals the constitutive contradictions at the heart
of modern ideas of culture.The Great War failed to produce a popular war culture on the
home front, provoking instead an extraordinary literature of protest, yet the military author¬
ities struggled to regain their oversight on the battlefield.The interwar years saw a massive
effort to make strategic fantasies a reality; if the technology of imperial air power or mobile
armoured warfare did not yet exist, culture could be mobilized to shore up the ramshackle
war machine. During World War Two a fully fledged British war culture offered a nation in
crisis the vision of a fully mobilized island fortress, a loyal empire, and a modernized war
machine ready to wage a futunstic total war. Working in the shadow of this war culture.
British World War Two writers challenged these dominant narratives and
imaginarles
with extraordinary courage and creativity.
Patrick Deer is Associate Professor of English at New York University.
