This is the first book to study the cultural impact of the Armistice of 11 November 1918. It contains 14 new essays from scholars working in literature, music, art history and military history. The Armistice brought hopes for a better future, as well as sadness, disappointment and rage. Many people in all the combatant nations asked hard questions about the purpose of the war. These questions are explored in complex and nuanced ways in the literature, music and art of the period. This book revisits the silence of the Armistice and asks how its effect was to echo into the following decades. The essays are genuinely interdisciplinary and are written in a clear, accessible style.

This book examines the phenomenon of silence in relation to human behaviour from multiple perspectives, drawing on psychological and cultural-philosophical ideas to create new, surprising connections between silence, quiet and rest. Silence and being quiet are present in everyday life and in politics, but why do we talk about it so rarely? Silence can be cathartic and peaceful, but equally oppressive and unbearable. In the form of communication, we keep secrets to protect ourselves and others, but on the other hand subjects can be silenced with dictatorial posturing - a communicative display of power – and something can be literally ‘hushed up’ that needs to be disclosed. In unique and engaging style, Theodor Itten explores the multi-layered internal conversation on silence in relation to the self and emotions, demonstrating why it is sometimes necessary in our modern society. Describing and analyzing human behaviour in relation to silence, the book also draws on psychoanalytic ideas by outlining the power of silence in processing our emotions and relationships and hiding innermost feelings. With rich narrative signposts providing thought-provoking and amusing insights, and interpersonal communication examined in relation to everyday life, this is fascinating reading for students and academics in psychology, philosophy, cultural studies, and related areas.

In a memoir penned with flair, fire, and humor, Beaulieu invites us to join her in her evolutionary transformation as she liberates her personal consciousness from the choke hold of ego. She is aided in her flight to freedom by mind-expanding substances, international travel, and remarkable teachers including Ramana Maharishi, Adi Yogi Shiva, modern-day mystic Byron Katie, the elusive Jed McKenna, and others. Beaulieu shows us how she broke through the darkness of her own mind’s making to reach the light of pure consciousness. With irrepressible joy, she shares the wonder and magic of her new and fulfilling, yet simple and ordinary life. Fueled by existential angst, Kamla embarked on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery to determine the meaning of spiritual freedom and enlightenment in today’s world. Her unwavering, ever-deepening focus is on being part of the human equation—that which is beyond all distinctions of race, religion, gender, color, caste, and what is perfect and imperfect.
