{"product_id":"9783837675399","title":"Picturing the (Un)Dead in Beirut","description":"\u003cp\u003eMartyr posters are more than obituary images – they can act as visual politics. Focusing on Rabih Mroué's play \u003ci\u003eHow Nancy Wished That Everything Was an April Fool's Joke\u003c\/i\u003e (2007), Agnes Rameder analyses how contemporary artists question and appropriate Lebanese martyr posters. By linking the posters from the \u003ci\u003eWars in Lebanon\u003c\/i\u003e (1975-1990) to contemporary posters, she shows that these images continue to the present day, that martyrs are still created and that deaths, such as those who were killed in the explosion on 4 August 2020, are still visually remembered. This study does not focus on how such pictures are perceived by a Western audience but delves into the use and abuse of martyr posters that were intended to be shown to the Lebanese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"transcript","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65530373046621,"sku":null,"price":41.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9783837675399_fd0ab3bb-17bf-498f-ab5b-b9d9e131f8fc.jpg?v=1789000209","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9783837675399","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
