1914FACES2014 Les Gueules cassees: disfigurement and its legacies
2015-03-12 00:00 - 2015-03-13 23:59
The First World War saw unprecedented numbers of facially injured soldiers survive the battlefield. The experience of these gueules cassÃ©es, as they became known in France, has given rise to a unique cultural history, and one which is now being rewritten in the centenary years of the First World War. This conference, arising from the INTERREG IV-funded project 1914FACES2014, led by the Institut Faire Faces and the University of Exeter, assesses the legacy of the gueules cassÃ©es and the broader issues concerning disfigurement and expression at stake there..http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=2899
