In 'Posthumous Images', Chad Elias analyzes a generation of contemporary artists who have sought, in different ways, to interrogate the contested memory of those years of civil strife and political upheaval. In their films, photography, architectural projects, and multimedia performances, these artists appropriate existing images to challenge divisive and violent political discourses. They also create new images that make visible individuals and communities that have been effectively silenced, rendered invisible, or denied political representation. As Elias demonstrates, these practices serve to productively unsettle the distinctions between past and present, the dead and the living, official history and popular memory. In Lebanon, the field of contemporary art is shown to be critical to remembering the past and reimagining the future in a nation haunted by a violent and unresolved war. 611 27 $a Civil War (Lebanon : 1975-1990) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352309 650 0 $a Art $x Political aspects $z Lebanon. 651 0 $a Lebanon $x History $y Civil War, 1975-1990 $v Art and the war. 650 0 $a War in art. 650 0 $a Social conflict in mass media. 650 0 $a Social conflict in art. 650 7 $a Art $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815309 650 7 $a Social conflict in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122406 650 7 $a Social conflict in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122408 650 7 $a War in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170504 651 7 $a Lebanon. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206063 648 7 $a 1975-1990 $2 fast 655 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423702 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Elias, Chad. $t Posthumous images. $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2018 $z 9780822371557 $w (DLC) 2017056110 880 4 $6 264-00 $c ��2018 830 0 $a Art history publication initiative. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213015053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D93C40AE96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
