Knygos aprašymas

Product Description The trauma of Hiroshima and Nagasaki demonstrates the limits of dominant visual models, such as photography, for providing adequate historical memory. The author argues that collective traumas suggest the need for a prolonged gaze, such as can be provided by expressive art. Review “This is an exceptional and compelling piece of scholarship. The book works its themes across a number of disciplinary concerns, touching on what is both the common experience in attending to commemorative and witness art, and the most profound philosophical issue of the limits and functions of horror’s representation.” ― John Willinsky, University of British Columbia About the Author Kyo Maclear is an independent writer and visual artist based in Toronto, with a special interest in the issue of historical memory in twentieth-century art.
