US identity is a highly contested subject. This conference seeks to explore the relationship between war and identity through a range of disciplines to examine the disparate constructions of the United States during and after pivotal wars from the 19th to 21st centuries. Participants will examine the dominant sites of identity formation and contestation within the United States, analyse its projection and crucially consider identity formation at the so-called periphery. It will for example deal with the construction of the traditional meta-narrative of US diplomacy and war aims, with the discourses both domestic and foreign on US identity, with the literature and archives associated with 'victory culture' and more recently, with the 'culture of defeat' by way of example. All ideas are welcome for consideration.
