In this volume Wodiczko, winner of the Hiroshima Art Prize in 1998, offers a detailed examination of his proposal for \u003ci\u003eThe World Institute for the Abolition of War\u003c\/i\u003e, a projected \"Un-War Memorial\" constructed as a structure encapsulating the existing Arc de Triomphe in Paris. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWodiczko is joined by anthropologist Douglas Fry to shed light on the silent but deeply rooted ideologies of war, which permeate our contemporary societies, fuelling current acts of aggression and threatening to erupt into further warfare. Fry's essay \"Abolition of War: An Agenda for Survival\" contradicts the generally held assumption that war is an inevitable aspect of human life, and posits new models of global interdependency as the necessary step towards viable peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Dog Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907317668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Krzysztof Wodiczko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52604420817077,"sku":"9781907317668","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-abolition-of-war-9781907317668","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
