"How have images of the face been used to document and distort the phenomenon of war? Such is the question that drives this book, with the face forming a recurring motif throughout visual depictions of military conflict. At once interdisciplinary, transnational, and transhistorical, War Faces on Screen is organised into three sections: one based on photography, one based on the cinematic close-up, and one based on colonisation, decolonisation and defacement. Foregrounding the work of artists and practitioners, alongside theoretical frameworks, War Faces on Screen ultimately forms a radically innovative contribution to the study of image-making and war-making"-- Provided by publisher.
