Text and Image

Exploring the interplay between text and image, this collection examines how various expressive forms convey ideas across cultural history. Contributions from diverse fields, including art, film, and performance studies, analyze the visual and performing arts' impact on understanding historical contexts. Topics range from artists' reactions to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission to representations of violence in Colombia and Mexico, as well as contemporary themes of memory and desire in urban landscapes, family photographs, and hip hop culture.
