Focusing on Rabih Mroué's play \u003ci\u003eHow Nancy Wished That Everything Was an April Fool's Joke\u003c\/i\u003e (2007), Agnes Rameder analyses how contemporary artists question and appropriate Lebanese martyr posters. By linking the posters from the \u003ci\u003eWars in Lebanon\u003c\/i\u003e (1975-1990) to contemporary posters, she shows that these images continue to the present day, that martyrs are still created and that deaths, such as those who were killed in the explosion on 4 August 2020, are still visually remembered. This study does not focus on how such pictures are perceived by a Western audience but delves into the use and abuse of martyr posters that were intended to be shown to the Lebanese.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Agnes Rameder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3837675394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837675399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.85d","brand":"Agnes Rameder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962731778303,"sku":"9783837675399","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca230217-db00-4d9a-9e66-079d66501587.jpg?v=1750652360","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/picturing-the-undead-in-beirut-agnes-rameder-9783837675399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
