| Sommario/riassunto: | This book offers a sustained demonstration of the way in which works of art can help us to explore the most difficult ethical and political issues of our time: war terror extermination torture and abuse. Author blurb: The book combines art and politics in an original way. It uses art of various kinds (paintings poems novels photographs films) to explore war; it demonstrates how art can do this. It ranges across the wars of the last century from the Great War to the Global War on Terror. It is alive to the idea of moral life even amid depravity and destruction. It is written in a distinctive style which is said to have some affinities with the work of John Berger. It has one foot in scholarship the other in magic arts. |
