When Austria-Hungary broke up at the end of the First World War, the sacrifice of one million men who had died fighting for the Habsburg monarchy now seemed to be in vain. This book is the first of its kind to analyze how the Great War was interpreted, commemorated, or forgotten across all the ex-Habsburg territories. Each of the book’s twelve chapters focuses on a separate region, studying how the transition to peacetime was managed either by the state, by war veterans, or by national minorities. This “splintered war memory,” where some posed as victors and some as losers, does much to explain the fractious character of interwar Eastern Europe.

Download A Consideration of Violence, Sacrifice and Rebirth in Religion Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This works uses death mythology, specifically the Ancient Greek myth of Persephone, Hades, and Demeter, to explore the notions of inherent violence, sacrifice, and rebirth in religion. The uniqueness of the human species and our ability to perform elaborate ritual and create deliberate myth is a necessary part of the structuring of religion. Religion legitimizes the thoughts, feelings, and actions of the human species. The idea of violence as a necessity in humanity and religion as a justification for this is examined more thoroughly in this work. As humans confront death, the notions of sacrifice and then renewal through rebirth demonstrate the cyclical nature of humanity and one of the most important functions of religion.
