Art, Religion and Resistance in (Post-)Communist Romania : Nostalgia for Paradise Lost Hardback
by Maria Alina Asavei
Part of the Modernity, Memory and Identity in South-East Europe series
Hardback
Description
This book illuminates the interconnections between politics and religion through the lens of artistic production, exploring how art inspired by religion functioned as a form of resistance, directed against both Romanian national communism (1960-1989) and, latterly, consumerist society and its global market.
It investigates the critical, tactical and subversive employments of religious motifs and themes in contemporary art pieces that confront the religious ‘affair’ in post-communist Romania.
In doing so, it addresses a key gap in previous scholarship, which has paid little attention to the relationship between religious art and political resistance in communist Central and South-East Europe.
