Looking Forward: Looking Back through the Three Lense of Art, Politics and Religion.This book illuminates the interconnections between politics and religion through the lens of artistic production, exploring how art inspired by religion functioned as a form of resistance, directed against both Romanian national communism (1960-1989) and, latterly, consumerist society and its global market. It investigates the critical, tactical and subversive employments of religious motifs and themes in contemporary art pieces that confront the religious 'affair' in post-communist Romania. In doing so, it addresses a key gap in previous scholarship, which has paid little attention to the relationship between religious art and political resistance in communist Central and South-East Europe. .Modernity, Memory and Identity in South-East Europe,2523-7993RussiaHistoryEurope, EasternHistorySoviet UnionHistoryCivilizationHistoryArtsReligionHistoryReligion and politicsRussian, Soviet, and East European HistoryCultural HistoryFine ArtHistory of ReligionPolitics and ReligionRussiaHistory.Europe, EasternHistory.Soviet UnionHistory.CivilizationHistory.Arts.ReligionHistory.Religion and politics.Russian, Soviet, and East European History.Cultural History.Fine Art.History of Religion.Politics and Religion.701.03700.949809046Asavei Maria Alina954479MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910993927603321Art, religion and resistance in (post-)communist Romania2158872UNINA
