Produktinformationen zu „Hiroshima After Iraq: three studies in art and war “
Many on the left lament an apathy or amnesia toward recent acts of war. Particularly during the George W. Bush administration's invasion of Iraq, opposition to war seemed to lack the heat and potency of the 1960s and 1970s, giving the impression that passionate dissent was all but dead. Through an analysis of three politically-engaged works of art, Rosalyn Deutsche efficiently debunks this theory, confirming the ability of contemporary art to criticize subjectivity as well as war. Deutsche selects three videos centered on the deployment of the atomic bomb. Krzysztof Wodiczko's Hiroshima Projection (1999), made after the first Gulf War; Silvia Kolbowski's After Hiroshima mon amour (2005-2008); and Leslie Thornton's Let Me Count the Ways (2004-2008), which followed the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Rezension zu „Hiroshima After Iraq: three studies in art and war “
"Hiroshima After Iraq is a powerful, timely, and original contribution to the cultural discourse on art, war, and contemporary art criticism. Like Judith Butler¿s Precarious Life and Susan Sontag¿s Regarding the Pain of Others, Rosalyn Deutsche's elegantly concise and pointed analysis promises to be immediately and enduringly influential as an intervention in the ethicopolitical discourse of the Iraq era. I found it gripping." ¿ Mignon Nixon, Courtauld Institute of Art, London
