The Art of Post-Dictatorship - Vikki Bell - Bog

In 2013, Argentina celebrates thirty years of democracy since the end of the last dictatorship (1976-83). In that period, visual artists and art-activists have been central both to campaigns that have sought to initiate the criminal prosecutions of those initially granted amnesty and to a variety of commemorative projects. In The Art of Post-Dictatorship: Ethics and Aesthetics in Contemporary Argentina Vikki Bell provides an assessment of these interventions, examining them as important moments in how the horrors of the last dictatorship period are recalled.
