Audiovisual Healing and Reparation gathers a collection of scholarly and creative voices that explore how audiovisual media can serve as a catalyst for healing, reparation, resilience, care and hope.

The contributors critically engage with the audiovisual mediations of harsh histories and experiences of violence, discrimination, racism, sexism, colonialism, displacement, illness and death, all situated within diverse historical, geographical, social, and political contexts. Through a reparative approach to films, documentaries, digital and social media, and art, they examine how audiovisuality intervenes in and transforms trauma, rupture, loss and silence. This book examines audiovisual media as a rich aesthetic, social and political site for acknowledging wounds, seeking healing, and reparatively reimagining a broken world during troubling times. It argues for the recuperative affect of audiovisuality, which can unlock silenced or suppressed (personal) histories by integrating them into the fabric of mundane daily life. It analyses two major questions: What kind of recuperative potentials can emerge from audiovisual mediations of troubling times? How can we (re)imagine audiovisual mediums, narratives, aesthetics, and practices as reparative possibilities?

This book will be of interest to scholars working in film and media studies, cultural studies, memory studies, performance studies, and affect studies and will also inspire practitioners of audiovisual media.
