With 2014 coming up, World War I can be expected to be the topic of many books and articles. Furthermore, many conferences and workshops will be organized to take stock of existing research and to develop agendas for the future. This conference attempts to take an approach to the subject that is explicitly interdisciplinary and thereby hopes to open up new perspectives on the subject.

This conference is organized in collaboration with the Austrian Cultural Forum, the Balassi Institute: Hungarian Cultural Center New York, Flanders House New York, French Cultural Services in New York, Goethe Institute New York, and the Polish Cultural Institute New York.
