| 要約: | Not only are Birdsong, Evermore, and Another World concerned with the Great War and its impact on survivors as well as on following generations, but the three works share a common fascination for the traces of the war. Illustrating Faulkner’s claim that « the past isn’t dead, it isn’t even past », they explore the links between personal, traumatic memory, and the national, collective one. Taking as its starting point the presence in the three texts of one or several characters travelling to the battlefields years after the war to visit the cemeteries and monuments to the Missing, this paper will compare and contrast the three writers’ metasemiotic representations of these national emblems and analyze their function : do they contribute to constructing, or de-constructing the nation, itself an ideological construct ? |
