Drawing on a range of cities and conflicts from Europe, Africa and
the Middle East, the collection explores the post-conflict
condition as it is lived and expressed in modern cities such as
Berlin, Belfast, Bilbao, Beirut, Derry, Skopje, Sarajevo, Tunis,
Johannesburg and Harare. Post-Conflict Performance, Film and Visual
Arts: Cities of Memory investigates how the memory of conflict can
be inscribed in historical monuments, human bodies and hermeneutic
acts of mapping, traversing, representing, and performing the city.
Several essays explore the relations between memory, history and
urban space; where memory is located and how it is narrated, as
well as various aspects of embodied memory; testimonial memory;
traumatic memory; counter-memory; false memory; post-memory. Other
essays examine the representations of post-war cities and how
cultural imaginations relate to the politics of reconstruction in
places devastated by protracted urban warfare. Post-Conflict
Performance, Film and Visual Arts: Cities of Memory offers a
comparative survey of the complex and often controversial
encounters between public art, political memory and commemoration
in divided societies, as well as offering insights into the
political and ethical difficulties of balancing the dynamics of
forgetting and remembering.
