Lutter contre l’effacement et pour la reconstitution de traces : « penser entre les disciplines »

Abstract

Living outside Lebanon, Lebanese artists like Rabih Mroué and Lina Majdalanie have contributed in many ways to the evolution and reconstruction of the cultural and artistic scene in Lebanon as well as to its history. They took the making of Civil War memory. This article will analyze the way in which these artists put on stage the absence, disappearance and erasure of traces while transforming contemporary artistic practice in Lebanon. Rethinking creation as a field of resistance and change, the artist on stage becomes with Majdalanie and Mroué an actor, a dancer, and a visual artist.
