Abstrakt
Between September 17th - 19th, 2015, the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the Institute of International Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the Charles University in Prague and the Imre Kertész Kolleg Jena, organized the international conference ""Beyond Defeat and Victory. Physical Violence and the Reconstitution of East-Central Europe, 1914-1923."" The goal of the conference was to advance the current study of violence during and in the aftermath of the First World War.
Its title was inspired by the currently discussed concepts of the ""culture of victory"" and ""culture of defeat"", which strive to characterize the situation in the victorious and defeated states during the First World War.
