The twentieth century witnessed the intensification of the phenomenon of total war. The distance between the front and the home vanished just as the difference between combatants and civilians became ever more tenuous; the society as a whole became engaged in war, and it was considered the responsibility of every single citizen to contribute to the war effort. In response to the nature of total war, the range of acts of resistance to war also became broad and diverse, as a variety of means not limited to armed resistance came to be employed. We are interested in the concrete acts of resistance as well as in the broader sweep of the impact and meanings of resistance: - its mobilization, its confrontation with participants in the conflict, and the ways in which IT IS remembered.
Abstracts should be submitted up to 1 May 2013 to the e-mail resistingwar2014@gmail.pt .
