Imaging the Great Irish Famine

Více o knize

Focusing on the role of visual culture in representing humanitarian disasters, the book examines how art, monuments, and media frame the experiences of displacement. Niamh Ann Kelly analyzes commemorative visual artifacts from the Great Irish Famine to the present, highlighting how these representations shape perceptions of enforced migration as a form of ongoing political violence. This work is particularly relevant for students and researchers in museum studies, material culture, Irish history, and contemporary visual culture related to dispossession.
