The collection diagnoses the challenge of achieving an enlarged historical and artistic perspective, and then goes on to meet it. Themes that are universal (exile, loss, trauma, survival, memory) and the undying subjects of art and artistic efforts at representation, here find specific expression. The case of Lithuania and its diverse populations is revealed in its full significance for a modern European history of the impact of the age of the world wars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"...Lithuania in the two world wars has been studied extensively by military, political, and social historians but has been given little attention by researchers of culture and art. With this selection of modern Lithuanian scholarship from an impressive array of disciplines, Jankevičiūtė and Žukienė have taken a welcome step toward correcting that omission. They have composed a collection of interest to a readership beyond that of students of modern Baltic history; the articles engage equally with film and music theory, memory studies, and narrative theory.\"\u003c\/i\u003e — Slavic Review, 77.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cp\u003e Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Foreword\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Giedrė Jankevičiūtė and Rasutė Žukienė\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapter 1: The Art of Walking in Wartime Wilna\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Laimonas Briedis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapter 2: Jewish Vilnius in the Works of German Artists\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Laima Laučkaitė-Surgailienė\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapter 3: The Diaries of Death\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Agnė Narušytė\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapter 4: Art as a Narrative of Everyday Life in Lithuania during World War II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Giedrė Jankevičiūtė\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapter 5: Trying to Survive: The Activity of Exiled Baltic Artists in Germany in 1945–1950\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Rasa Žukienė\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapter 6: The Memory and Representation of World War I in Lithuania\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Rasa Antanavičiūtė\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapter 7: The Limits of the Blockade Archive\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Natalija Arlauskaitė\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapter 8: Constructing Blocks of Memory: Post-Holocaust Narratives of Jewish Vilna\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Larisa Lempertienė\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapter 9: World War II Memory and Narratives in the Music of the Lithuanian Diaspora and Soviet Lithuania\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Rūta Stanevičiūtė\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Authors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e List of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359751209303,"sku":"9781618115072","price":72.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781618115072.jpg?v=1754125602","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-art-of-identity-and-memory-toward-a-cultural-history-of-the-two-world-wars-in-lithuania-9781618115072","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
