“…Some are published by small specialist presses, and some (particularly relating to recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and against Islamic State) seem marketed in a sensational way (Woodward and Jenkings, 2016). In a few cases, the authors of war memoirs went on to become prominent authors, poets and literary critics (Jünger, 2019;Lewis, 1978;MacDonald Fraser, 2000;Macgill, 2000). It is also worth noting that a number of the memoirs, particularly those published or reprised many years later do contain some historiographical refection.…”

“…There were also numerous tales of bartering with locals (Lewis, 1978: 124). Indeed, in many war memoirs these are the only accounts of interaction with locals, albeit interaction of a purely transactional nature (Jünger, 2019: 159). The picture that emerges from many of the accounts is the normalisation of informal economies within militaries and between militaries and local populations.…”

“…There is a misconception that WWI and WWII only involved organised militaries allied with nation states. Alongside these national military forces were a range of partisans, auxiliaries, deserters (Glass, 2013; Jünger, 2019: 401), armed civilians and child soldiers. Mass displacement, large-scale aerial bombing and the mobilisation of economies meant that these wars were mass participation events (whether that participation was voluntary or involuntary).…”

Temporality and contextualisation in Peace and Conflict Studies: The forgotten value of war memoirs and personal diaries

This article contributes to debates on appropriate levels of analysis, temporality, and the utility of fieldwork in relation to Peace and Conflict Studies (PCS), and International Relations more generally. It observes a recentism or privileging of the recent past in our studies and a consequent overlooking of the longer term. As a corrective, the article investigates the extent to which wartime memoirs and personal diaries (specifically from World War I and World War II) can help inform the study of contemporary peace and conflict. In essence, the article is a reflection on the epistemologies and methodologies employed by PCS and an investigation of the need for greater contextualisation.

“…The German writer and philosopher Ernst Jünger (Jünger, 2000) fairly noted: "Each of two great pillars of the state of the 19th century, namely, the nation and the society, are already internally focused on this highest forum. In relation to the nation it is expressed by the aspiration to remove the state beyond national borders and to award it with imperial rank, in relation to the society it is expressed by social contracts of planetary importance".…”

“…However, such examinations are not standardized among German dental schools. While general recommendations exist for their design and evaluation [12,13], details such as suitable item types and applied scoring methods are often defined in local examination guidelines at the level of individual dental schools.…”

Background: Multiple-choice examinations are frequently employed among German dental schools. However, details regarding the used item types and applied scoring methods are lacking. Objective:We aimed to gain an insight into the current usage of multiple-choice items (ie, questions) in summative examinations in German undergraduate dental training programmes. Methods:A paper-based 10-item questionnaire regarding the employed assessment methods, multiple-choice item types, and applied scoring methods was designed. The pilot-tested questionnaire was mailed to the Deans of Studies and to the Heads of Department of Operative/Restorative Dentistry at all 30 dental schools in Germany in February 2023. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher's exact test (P<.05). Results:The response rate amounted to 90.0% (27/30 dental schools). All respondent dental schools employed multiple-choice examinations for summative assessments. Examinations were delivered electronically by 70.4% (19/27) of the dental schools. Almost all dental schools used single-choice Type A items (88.9%) which accounted for the largest number of items in about half of the dental schools. Further item types (eg, conventional multiple-select items, Multiple-True-False, Pick-N) were only used by fewer dental schools (?66.7%, up to 18 out of 27 dental schools). For the multiple-select item types, the applied scoring methods varied considerably (ie, awarding [intermediate] partial credit, requirements for partial credit). Dental schools with the possibility of electronic examinations used multiple-select items slightly more often (73.7%, 14/19 vs. 50.0%, 4/8). However, this difference was statistically not significant (P=.375). Dental schools used items either individually or as key feature problems consisting of a clinical case scenario followed by a number of items focusing on critical treatment steps (55.6%, 15/27). Not a single school employed alternative testing methods (eg, answer-until-correct). A formal item review process was established at about half of the dental schools (55.6%, 15/27).Conclusions: Summative assessment methods among German dental schools vary widely. Especially, a large variability regarding the use and scoring of multiple-select multiple-choice items was found.
