DESCRIPTION:A talk by for Y11 and Sixth Form students by Dr Chris Godden 
 (Department of History) - part of the School of Arts\, Languages and Cul
 tures open lecture series "The Different Faces of WW1". \n\nThe First Wo
 rld War keeps its hold on us like a horror film\, despite the numerous h
 orrors and atrocities that have affected humanity since. Apart from bein
 g a great military and political event\, the First World War was also a 
 great imaginative event. From its outbreak in 1914\, politicians\, journ
 alists\, and ordinary men and women tried to understand and make sense o
 f what the war meant. In terms of historical research about the First Wo
 rld War\, historians have shifted their emphasis away from the study of 
 military events towards understanding the central position of the war in
  relation to the lives and experiences of citizens who lived through it.
  From this has emerged a story centred around the role and strategies ad
 opted by government propagandists in mobilising British society for war\
 , and discussion about how this terrible conflict affected individuals\,
  families\, and society over the long term. This lecture\, and the accom
 panying workshop\, will consider the ways in which British men and women
  understood the war while it was being fought\, as well as analysing the
  role played by British government propagandists. Through an examination
  of several First World War propaganda posters\, students will work towa
 rds answering the following questions: (1) what did war mean in the summ
 er of 1914?\, (2) what had it come to mean by 1917?\, and (3) what were 
 British citizens told to think about the war?\n\nBooking:\n\nThis event
