Abstract

This chapter discusses three World War I projects, commissioned to mark anniversaries, through the lenses of Eliade's 'fixed point' and Haney's 'liminal zone' found in 'the shift of consciousness that effects the blurring of boundaries between subject and object, self and other[ (Haney in Yarrow 2007, p. 68). It proposes that these experiences are momentary hierophanies (manifestations of the sacred), in which an action is shifted from merely marking an anniversary to commemorating it.
