| Omschrijving: | The year 2014 witnessed a huge outcome of scholarly materials analyzing the political and historical milestone the World War I set. Contemporary historiographical approaches put culture into the perspective of the cultural turn, that is to say, a passage from the social history towards a cultural history, in this case, regarding the Big War. This paper analyzes the World War I from the point of view of four Latin American chroniclers, Costa Rican José Basileo Acuña (1897-1916), Nicaraguan Salomón de la Selva (1893-1959) and the poet, Rubén Darío (1867-1916), and the Guatemalan journalist Enrique Gómez-Carrillo (1873-1927). They eye-witnessed and experienced the confrontation at first hand. Therefore, besides giving us their personal glance of the conflict, their texts also bring us closer to the day-to-day wartime history, letting us know the story of the anonymous heroes, of the mutilated and displaced victims of war from that first conflict that affected all mankind. |
