Photography, Conflict Transformation, and Peacebuilding

Herausgeber: Allbeson, Tom; Mitchell, Jolyon; Oldfield, Pippa

Beschreibung

"What is the relationship between peace and photography? How are artists and curators motivated to convey narratives of peace and not just stories of war? Does the digital afterlife of iconic images reveal societal shifts towards conflict transformation? Providing interdisciplinary and international perspectives on important research questions, Picturing Peace explores issues of identity construction, collective memory, and imagined futures in the creating and sustaining of civil societies. How things look and are perceived are not superficial issues; when it comes to war and conflict, photography is vitally relevant not only to fomenting violence, but also to rebuilding peaceful societies"-- Provided by publisher.
