Throughout the world, the historical legacies of war, colonialism, genocide and oppression return again and again to dominate contemporary life. This volume assembles artists, curators and academics in order to explore how such legacies can inspire critical and creative approaches to remembering as well as challenging and 'disturbing' the past. Contributors take the premise that any meaningful encounter with the past has to be felt at a personal level, no matter how difficult an event may be to recall or represent. Recollecting stories of this kind is complex and sensitive, and the book demonstrates the benefits of people forging joint efforts from different fields, including art practice, art history and visual culture studies, social anthropology, literary studies, history, museology and cultural policy studies. The result is a detailed global picture that presents a variety of new approaches to confronting dominant historical narratives and shaping alternative visions and interpretations. Based on a major project of international collaboration supported by the European Science Foundation, Disturbing pasts gathers voices, histories and images from diverse contexts, including South Africa, Germany, Namibia, the United Kingdom, Nigeria, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Poland, Norway, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Australia.
