Congratulations to Dr Romain Fathi and Dr Emily Robertson on their new edited collection, Proximity and Distance: Space, Time and World War 1.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Congratulations to Dr Romain Fathi<\/a>, member of our Resilient Humanitarianism Team and Senior Lecturer at Flinders University, on the release of Proximity and Distance: Space, Time and World War 1, <\/em>which was co-edited with Dr Emily Robertson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Published in April 2020 by Melbourne University Press<\/a>, this book explores how participants and observers in World War I negotiated the temporal and spatial challenges of the conflict.<\/p>\n

\u2018The global magnitude of World War I has meant that proximity and distance were highly influential in the ways the conflict was conducted, and how it was experienced at tactical, political and emotional levels. This book explores how participants and observers in World War I negotiated the temporal and spatial challenges of the conflict. International in scope, it investigates how technology, mass media, elite diplomacy and imperial networks interacted in conjunction with proximity and distance. The authors canvass a range of approaches to the conflict, from cultural history to social, political and military history. Proximity and distance were contingencies that participants had to continually adapt to. This book documents the ways in which these adaptations were approached\u2019 (MUP).<\/em><\/p>\n

The collection is prefaced by the foreword \u2018Reframing the Narrative of a Global Conflict\u2019 by Professor Bruno Cabanes<\/a>, Donald G. & Mary A. Dunn Chair in Modern Military History at the Ohio State University.<\/p>\n

In addition to an introductory chapter titled, \u2018World War 1 and the Space-Time-War Nexus\u2019 by Dr Fathi and Dr Robertson, the collection contains chapters by Dr Bart Ziino<\/a> from Deakin University and Professor Guillaume Piketty<\/a>, Centre d’histoire de Sciences Po.<\/p>\n
