The artistic work, understood as a concept and a tangible object in any of its multiple technical and aesthetic categories, stands as an invaluable source of information, not only because of its intrinsic values, such as its formal characteristics, style or by whom it was created, among others. , but also for its ability to represent and make visible aspects of daily life, symbols of civil and religious power, beliefs, devotions and rites, historical events, social elements, feelings or connections between various plastic manifestations, transcending the limits of the merely artistic. until it becomes an object or artifact that encapsulates and preserves the culture, thought and concerns of a given time and a specific geographical space. This volume is made up of twenty-two papers by specialists participating in the Visual History and Culture Symposium, as well as others who have kindly accepted our invitation to share their studies. In the same way that the contributions collected are bidirectional between the New World and the Old Continent, their authors come from academic, cultural institutions and research centers located in the American and European space, making the relevance of these topics visible today through international level.

This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by the European Research Council. Asking what does foreign occupation look like and how does occupation shape visual expression and cultures, this edited collection explores how the occupied and occupiers have responded to their circumstances through visual culture. Contributors study specific cases of foreign occupation from around the world and across the 20th century, discussing the similarities, links and points of contact which bring disparate examples of occupation into dialogue with one another. The intention is to illustrate how an emphasis on ‘the visual’ can help inform our understanding of occupation more broadly. Comprised of 12 core chapters and structured around 4 methodological and conceptual themes, this book adopts a consciously transcultural approach through which contributors examine the influence of specific cases, memories and legacies of occupation. Spanning Europe, Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere, the chapters also engage in a wider dialogue to reveal commonalities and points of comparison across political and temporal boundaries.
