Description
Many on the left lament an apathy or amnesia toward recent acts of war. Particularly during the George W. Bush administration's invasion of Iraq, opposition to war seemed to lack the heat and potency of the 1960s and 1970s, giving the impression that passionate dissent was all but dead. Through an analysis of three politically-engaged works of art, Rosalyn Deutsche efficiently debunks this theory, confirming the ability of contemporary art to criticize subjectivity as well as war. Deutsche selects three videos centered on the deployment of the atomic bomb. Krzysztof Wodiczko's Hiroshima Projection (1999), made after the first Gulf War; Silvia Kolbowski's After Hiroshima mon amour (2005-2008); and Leslie Thornton's Let Me Count the Ways (2004-2008), which followed the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Each confronts the ethical task of addressing historical disaster, and each explores the intersection of past and present war. These artworks contribute deeply to the discourse of war resistance. They also illuminate the complex dynamics of viewing and interpretation. Deutsche employs feminist and psychoanalytic techniques in her study, questioning both the role of totalizing images in the production of warlike subjects and the fantasies that perpetuate, especially among the left, traditional notions of political dissent. Her study ultimately reveals the passive collusion between leftist critique and a dominant discourse that denies the personal dimensions of war.
