Description
This chapter examines the scope of anomalous recontextualizations by situating the past controversies within the present day and its blend of nostalgic reversioning of past actions. The recontextualizations are also considered in light of contemporary creative works offered by each of the respective artists, thereby adding further significations to the reversioning process as a whole.
