Presentation :  The aim of the conference is to promote a discussion about when and in what form the western paradigm of war as generative of individual and collective valour declined. This means turning our attention to discourses and narratives concerning:1. War as a foundational myth of political communities2. Celebrations of war as ritual spaces for the sacralisation of social order3. War as a theatre for the elaboration of relations between the individual, gender and political identityProgram :Thursday, May 24th14:30 Wecome and introduction     Paolo Pombeni (Director FBK- Isig)     Marco Mondini (FBK- Isig) &#8211; Massimo Rospocher (FBK- Isig)15:00 &#8211; 18:30 Panel I: Narratives and accounts of war Discussant: Piero Del Negro (Padova)    Jean-Louis Fournel (Paris VIII) : La langue de la guerre    Lauro Martines (UCLA): On describing wartime atrocities    Jay Winter (Yale): Language, rhetoric and memory: cultural divergences in narration of war    Carine Trevisan (Paris VII &#8211; Diderot) : Entrer en guerre, sortir de la guerre    Christa Haemmerle (Wien): The great war in first person, writings of Austrian women    Gustavo Corni (Trento): The Italian campaign in Russia: literature and memoriesFriday, May 25th9:30 &#8211; 13:00 Panel II: Words and media: war and print culture Discussant: Nicola Labanca (Siena)    Vincenzo Lavenia (Macerata): In God&#8217;s fields.
