Taking its point of departure in this trend, this article will analyse and discuss the performanceHow Nancy Wished That Everything Was an April Fool's Jokeby Lebanese artist Rabih Mroué. Positioning the performance within the specific context of post-war Lebanon, the article will explore the ways in which the twisted documentary strategy employed by Mroué, that is, an approach entailing the blending of fact and fiction, might be said to work as a critical strategy, ultimately inviting the audience to question the existing, competing renderings of the Lebanese Civil War. Based on these findings, the article will conclude by suggesting why the quasi-documentary format has developed such evident appeal for artists wrestling with the topic of war in the contemporary era of visual warfare. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of War & Culture Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
