Cultural comparisons in German war propaganda in the years 1914–1918

The project is studying German review periodicals as an important medium for war propaganda in the years 1914–1918 and working out the operations and functions of cultural comparison these reveal. The approach to this research in the project is to conceive these journals as a specific medium representing a comprehensive practice of cultural comparison through its formal organisation as a network for different types of texts and its thematic orientation towards describing the German nation in competition with others.
