Revolts in Cultural Critique

Research output: Book/ReportBookAcademic

Abstract

This book is centered around the relationship between art and political transformation. From Charlotte Brontë and Virginia Woolf, to Marlene van Niekerk and William Kentridge, artists and intellectuals have tried to address the question: How to deal with the legacy of exclusion and oppression? Via substantive works of art, this book examines some of the answers that have emerged to this question, to show how art can put into motion something new and how it can transform social and cultural relations in a sustainable way. In this way, art can function as an effective form of cultural critique. The book is the augmented edition of 'Revoltes in de Cultuurkritiek' (AUP 2017).
