 Art and Identity at the Water's Edge 




This collection shows how the marginal territory of the water’s edge
has been represented in art in different places at various times and
how such art contributed to the formation of cultural and national
identities. Essays explore visual cultures of the Jordan and Vltava
Rivers; the South African seaside resort of Durban; post-Hurricane
Katrina New Orleans; and the French Riviera, among other margins of
river and sea.
