In this seminar, we focus on global and local oppositional media and crafts practices that seek to prevent, stop, and undermine the death-making of war, offering ways to sustain life for civilians, heal the survivors, and commemorate the dead: From memoirs and photographs to zines and social media, from carpets and cooking recipes to apps and video games. By Interrogating warfare through anti-war media, we closely engage with the ethics of witnessing, limits of representation, and militarization of everyday life. Simultaneously, by studying media through anti-war frameworks we consider less-discussed aspects, kinds, and practices of media such as failure and repair, handmade and low-tech, and tactical and communal.
