"Signs of War and Peace" focuses on the role of public display in the conflict in Northern Ireland. Jack Santino explores the nature of public display, its relationships to class-based aesthetics, tradition, and popular style.

The work is interdisciplinary, combining ethnographic, anthropological, folkloristic, and performance study approaches.
