{"product_id":"passage-works-patricia-allmer-9781526172501","title":"Passage Works: Ruth Beckermann's Art","description":"Passage Works is the first book-length English language critical analysis of the transdisciplinary work of the Austrian film-maker, writer, and artist Ruth Beckermann (b. 1952, Vienna). Beckermann's works interrogate identity and geography as formations of the intersections between the past and the contemporary. Taking as her central topics Austria and its history and politics, her own identity as a Jewish woman, and the contemporary global geopolitics of migration and displacement, Beckermann develops wider meditations in film, art, and writing on the persistence of European memory, and the meanings of Europe itself; on borders, migrations, and identities; on memories, traumas, and traditions; on the image as marker of presence and absence, repository of the traces of historical violence; and on the passage as metaphor for a range of physical, psychological, and ideological movements defining the complexities of contemporary cosmopolitan identities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Allmer, John Sears\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 152617250X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526172501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Patricia Allmer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46451199639807,"sku":"9781526172501","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd8ac56d-5487-4a80-9df4-c664ad5a4877.jpg?v=1735876753","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/passage-works-patricia-allmer-9781526172501","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
