Megan Trudell: The changing history of the First World War
International Socialism Journal nr. 143, jul 14 – side 61

A commemoration that, like the Diamond Jubilee celebrations this year, says something about who we are as a people”.

John Molyneux: Art and the First World War
Irish Marxist Review (Irland) nr. 10, jun 14 – side 20
Note: Art reflects society. This statement, which is based on a core proposition of historical materialism, is fundamentally true – all art has its roots in developing human social relations – but it is also a condensation of a very complex interaction. This is because the social relations that art reflects are antagonistic relations of exploitation, oppression and resistance. So we should also remember Brecht's words that ‘Art is not a mirror to reflect reality, but a hammer with which to shape it’.
