About this book
This book examines the remarkably preserved So?a/Isonzo Front battlefield, exploring how its material heritage has shaped World War I (WW1) remembrance across changing political regimes along the Italian-Slovenian border.
It introduces the reader to how conflict landscapes function as independent agents of remembrance, transcending political changes and national narratives. The book offers a multidisciplinary approach that combines anthropology, archaeology and memory studies to trace the 'social life' of this lesser-known WW1 battlefield. By examining material heritage through multiple lenses, it reveals how physical remnants continue to shape collective memory and cultural understanding of the conflict, providing fresh perspectives on war commemoration beyond traditional historical accounts.
This book is written for scholars and students in the fields of memory studies, military history, heritage preservation and modern conflict archaeology. It will appeal to researchers interested in WW1, particularly those focusing on the South-Eastern European theatre and the Italian Front. Libraries supporting programs in anthropology, European history, cultural heritage studies and war studies will find this an essential addition to their collections. The book is also suitable for heritage professionals working with battlefield preservation and commemoration.
