Art, Religion and Resistance in (Post-)Communist Romania: Nostalgia for Paradise Lost de Maria Alina Asavei

Art, Religion and Resistance in (Post-)Communist Romania: Nostalgia for Paradise Lost: Modernity, Memory and Identity in South-East Europe

Autor Maria Alina Asavei
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 oct 2021
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.
