Synopsis
Can one visualize peace? Are there signs, symbols, and images that present a positive image of peace as opposed to receiving their meanings in opposition to war? Over several years of research, the Design2context Institute has intensively examined the representation and representability of peace and has compiled a comprehensive collection of images. In order to include a number of historical, cultural, and political perspectives, the archival aspect is supplemented by workshops in crisis regions. The encyclopedia - which, as new sociopolitical situations continue to arise and call for new pictures, must inevitably remain incomplete - provides a broad overview of the iconography of peace, and is also intended to assist in gaining an understanding of the concept. This book represents a significant contribution to future discussions on the need and desire for peace in political and social life.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Eindrucksvollee visuelle Enzyklopädie der Ikonografie des Friedens Umfangreiche Auswahl an unterschiedlichen Visualisierungen von Frieden. -Lässt sich 'Frieden' bildlich darstellen Gibt es Zeichen, Symbole und Bilder, die ihre Bedeutung nicht in Negation zum Krieg generieren, sondern eine positive Visualisierung für Frieden finden Das Institut Design2context hat sich in mehrjähriger Forschung intensiv mit der Darstellung und Darstellbarkeit von Frieden auseinandergesetzt und eine umfangreiche Bildersammlung zusammengetragen. Um unterschiedliche historische, kulturelle und politische Perspektiven einzubeziehen, wurde die Archivarbeit durch Workshops in Krisenregionen ergänzt. Die Enzyklopädie, die zwangsläufig unabgeschlossen bleiben muss, da neue soziopolitische Situationenandere Bilder fordern, bietet nicht nur einen breiten Überblick über die Ikonografie des Friedens, sondern versteht sich auch als Zugang zur Fähigkeit, sich diesen vorzustellen.Sie leistet einen Beitrag zu künftigen Diskussionen, in denen die Notwendigkeit von und der Wunsch nach Frieden thematisiert werden.
