{"product_id":"understanding-displacement-aesthetics","title":"Understanding Displacement Aesthetics","description":"Since the Second World War and the formalisation of the international refugee regime, forced displacement has been marked by a set of aesthetic, practical, and institutional concerns. \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Displacement Aesthetics\u003c\/i\u003e examines how visual culture and art practice constructs and  challenges ideas about forced displacement and refugees. The novel framework for ‘displacement aesthetics’ moves beyond conventional understandings of aesthetics as merely representational, demonstrating the entanglement of visual culture, art practices, and forced displacement in postmigrant contexts. Bringing together the fields of cultural history, art history, and curatorial studies, \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Displacement Aesthetics\u003c\/i\u003e identifies four areas for consideration: visual tropes of refugeedom; language and identity; institutional and artistic responses to displacement; and lived experiences of artists with backgrounds of displacement. Through archival research, visual culture and art, interviews, and collaborative curatorship, \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Displacement Aesthetics\u003c\/i\u003e offers new insight into overcoming the limitations that contexts of displacement can present for artists, art galleries and institutions addressing refugeedom and its legacies.","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55287719067992,"sku":"9781526181480","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781526181480.jpg?v=1777972548","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/understanding-displacement-aesthetics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
