Description:Belgian Museums of the Great War: Politics, Memory, and Commerce　examines several museums that are dedicated to the history of World War I in their handling of the centennial of the war along the Western Front in Flanders, Belgium.　In the twenty-first century, the museum has become a strategic space for negotiating ownership of and access to knowledge produced in local settings. The specific focus on museums and commemorative events in Flanders allows for an in-depth evaluation of how each museum works with　the remembrance and tourist industry in the region　while carving a unique niche.　Belgian Museums of the Great War　writes the history of these institutions, analyzes the recent　changes made in advance of the anniversary years, and considers the site-specificity of each institution and its architectural frame.　Since museums not only transmit information but also　shape knowledge, as Eileen Hooper-Greenhill has noted, the diverse narratives and community programs sponsored by each museum have served to challenge prior historiographies of the war. Through newly revamped interactive environments, self-guided learning, and an emphasis on the landscape, the museums in Flanders have a significant role to play in the ever-changing dialogue on the meaning of the history and remembrance of the Great WarWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
