Art in the Age of Terrorism ackles one of the most difficult topics imaginable-a war that is quintessentially postmodern in its decentralized identity, globalized character and confused conflict of cultures. In this publication both artists and academics explore the various ways in which art can help articulate the grey zone that lies behind the black and white term "terrorism." A significant number of the texts deal with the theme of the unspeakable. A plurality of voices is offered in this book, addressing key works by artists from New York, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Lebanon, and Israel. A number of contributors address the problems facing refugees from terror in the post-9/11 era, exploring the cruel logic by which the contemporary refugee from terror is often perceived as a terrorist himself and treated accordingly. Other essays address the topic of terrorism more directly and in so doing demonstrate that this "unspeakable" topic can, and indeed must, be openly discussed.
