“战壕艺术”是一个令人回味但具有误导性的术语，用于描述第一次世界大战（1914-18 年）和随后的两次世界大战期间（1919-39 年）期间士兵、战俘和平民在各种媒体中制作的各种物品。此类物品的生产似乎是人类对现代战争条件的普遍反应，布尔战争和许多（如果不是大多数）20 世纪的冲突就是例子。本文重点关注 1914 年至 1939 年间西线的金属“战壕艺术”。它对类型进行了初步分类，并探讨了它们作为纪念品和纪念品、损失的客观化、战争战利品以及作为物体与制造者、男人与女人、交战国家、生者与死者之间关系的物化的各种象征维度。有人认为，“战壕艺术”是理解 20 世纪战争文化记忆的一个重要但迄今为止被忽视的来源。
‘Trench Art’ is the evocative but misleading term used to describe a wide variety of objects in various media made by soldiers, prisoners of war, and civilians during the First World War (1914-18) and the succeeding inter-war period (1919-39). The production of such objects appears as a widespread human response to the conditions of modern warfare, with examples coming from the Boer War and many if not most 20th century conflicts. This essay focuses on metal ‘Trench Art’ from the Western Front between 1914 and 1939. It offers an initial categorization of types, and explores their various symbolic dimensions as souvenirs and mementoes, objectifications of loss, war trophies, and as materializations of the relationships between object and maker, men and women, the warring nations, and the living and the dead. It is suggested that ‘Trench Art’ is an important and hitherto overlooked source for understanding the cultural memory of 20th century war.
