Summary This book explores how First World War commemoration events are presented, reported and mediated on the websites of mainstream daily newspapers from seven European countries. The book is the result of a research group DIREPA-EUROPE (Discours, representations, passe de lEurope), part of Lemel research network characterized by a shared interest in media discourse and online newspapers. It presents a fluid analysis chain on the commemoration discourse generated by the WWI Armistice Centenary in 2018, and will be of interest not only to scholars of discourse and media studies, but also of European history, cultural memory, journalism and conflict studies. Elisabeth Le is Professor of Applied Linguistics in the Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies at the University of Alberta, Canada. Luciana Radut-Gaghi is Habilitated Associated Professor at the CY Cergy Paris Universite, France. She has directed the Lemel (lEurope dans les medias en ligne) research network since 2014.
