Everyday Representations of War in Late Modernity

Bag om Everyday Representations of War in Late Modernity

This book analyses photographic and cinematographic representations of war and its memorialisation rituals in the period of late modernity from the perspectives of cultural sociology, philosophy, art theory and film studies. It reveals how the experience of war trauma takes root in everydayness and shows how artists try to question the ¿normality¿ of the everyday, to actualise the memory of war trauma, to rethink the contrasting experiences of the time of war and everydayness, and to oppose the imposed historical narratives. The new representations are analysed by developing theories of war as a ¿magic spectacle¿, also by using such concepts as spectres, triumph and trauma, collective social catastrophes, forensic architecture and others.
