Artists as agents in besieged Sarajevo. 330 $aIn Artists at War Ewa Kumelowski gives us a thorough and well-grounded insight into the specificities of artistic life in Sarajevo before and during the 1992 - 1996 siege. The book is a fascinating and thoughtful exploration of the nexus of art, resistance and place. It offers a unique look at how artists shaped and reshaped mechanisms of survival against mechanisms of destruction, highly recommended --Sabina Tanovic, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands This book follows the lives of Sarajevan visual artists as they responded to the rising instability and political fragmentation that defined the last days of Yugoslavia?s existence. Exploring how these artists understood and spoke about the onset of war, it places a focus on a series of recognizable discourses, touching upon notions of Yugoslav common culture, civilization and cultural resistance, which have since become synonymous with the memory of the siege of Sarajevo. This book hinges its central arguments on a microhistorical reading of this unique cultural community that existed simultaneously on the practical periphery of Yugoslav cultural developments and within the center of the state?s fragmentation. In doing so, it offers a novel approach towards understanding the experiences of everyday life in besieged Sarajevo Ewa Anna Kumelowski is a historian of 20th Century Yugoslav cultural history, with a focus on expressions of everyday experiences in war, particularly amongst marginalized or otherwise overlooked populations. She holds a joint PhD from the Humboldt University of Berlin and the EHESS in Paris. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Cultural Heritage and Conflict,$x2634-6427 606 $aCultural property 606 $aArts 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aEthnology$zEurope 606 $aCulture 606 $aCultural Heritage 606 $aArts 606 $aVisual Culture 606 $aEuropean Culture 615 0$aCultural property. 615 0$aArts. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aCultural Heritage. 615 24$aArts. 615 24$aVisual Culture. 615 24$aEuropean Culture. 676 $a363.69 700 $aKumelowski$b Ewa Anna$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01822567 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911007492303321 996 $aArtists at War$94388837 997 $aUNINA
