military and battlefield cemeteries and columbaria
Définition
- Both cemeteries for the burial of the dead and columbaria for the preservation of cremated ashes shift their meaning in the context of conflict, especially those wars fought in the name of the modern nation-state. Within Europe, mass death far from home prompted a shift in commemoration of the dead of war, a militarization, in effect, of mourning practices that witnessed changes in the structures of civic cemeteries and the construction of national cemeteries and commemorative sites following the American Civil War (1861–1865), the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871), and World War I (1914–1918).
