<b>Nothing quiet on the western front: a dialogue between literature and psychology
Abstract
The overall context of this article concerns the historical period of the First and Second World wars, bearing in mind their impact and consequences regarding the experiences of those whose lives had been affected (directly or not) by what occurred within and outside the battlefields. Therefore we propose a parallel between the novel All Quiet on the Western Front (Remarque, 2004) and maybe one of the most well-known journals of all times: The Diary of a Young Girl (Frank, 2007). It is precisely the manner whereby relying on the words, the textual configuration, the body of the text ends up resulting in both Anne Frank and Erich Remarque’s reinsertion, reconfiguration, and re-signification as subjects – in what regards their condition within the First and Second ,World Wars – that our analysis identifies and discusses.
