Summary:	"After Bloody Sunday examines the portrayals of the day and its devastating repercussions in photography, film, theatre, poetry, television documentary, art installations, murals, commemorative events and legal discourse. The authors consider these representations' veridicity, their mechanisms of authenticity and their assumption that a particular medium - be it film, language, or visual art - can somehow articulate the 'truth' of Bloody Sunday." "The authors place special emphasis on the commemorative events held each year in Derry in which the families of the victims have - over many years - remembered their dead and injured, while at the same time building a highly-effective campaign that resulted, finally, in the new Inquiry." "Drawing on their expertise in the fields of literature, cultural theory, media studies and visual art, the authors have produced a thoroughly interdisciplinary approach towards the many representations that claim, with varying degrees of confidence, to tell the story of 'what really happened' on the streets of the Bogside on the afternoon of 30 January 1972."--BOOK JACKET.
