Liban. M moires fragment es d'une guerre obs dante examine les oeuvres d'artistes, d' crivains et de cin astes francophones qui tentent d'initier un travail d'anamn se de la guerre civile qui a ravag le Liban entre 1975 et 1990. Calarg postule que la production culturelle des ann es 2000-2015 tente de combler le vide g n r par l'absence d'un r cit national qui raconte l'histoire contemporaine du pays. L'ouvrage explore des questionnements en rapport avec la n cessit de l'anamn se mais aussi de ses limites dans une situation marqu e la fois par des traumatismes collectifs, par une comp tition de m moires partisanes en conflit et par une volont officielle d' touffer le pass r cent et d'en gommer les traces.
In Liban. M moires fragment es d'une guerre obs dante, Calarg focuses attention on the ways in which Francophone artists, writers, and filmmakers have revived the collective memory of the (un)civil war that ravaged Lebanon between 1975 and 1990. Their works both defy and critique the politics of forgetting that was actively pursued by the post-war leadership and attempt to fill a gaping void in the country's national historical narrative. Nonetheless, such efforts are necessarily limited. They are limited by both the persistent feeling that the war is not (yet) over and by the limits of personal narratives in the absence of a national project that ensures and facilitates a collective memorialization of the war.
