Standing by the Ruins: Elegiac Humanism in Wartime and Postwar Lebanon
Ken Seigneurie
Since the mid-1970s, Lebanon has been at the center of the worldwide rise in sectarian extremism. Its cultural output has both mediated and resisted this rise. This book reviews the role of culture in supporting sectarianism, yet argues for the emergence of a distinctive aesthetic of resistance to it.
