More DescriptionToday, the idea of a comprehensive re-orientation of our world is claimed to be less and less possible, and the notion that there is a visible concentration of power that might be called dominant has been eviscerated by neo-liberal global capital as much as by the disaggregating mechanics of critical theory, which has preferred to speak about horizontal forms of power as opposed to verticality.In this collection of essays and responses, we address the history of resistance, revolution and power, and the methods of critique that this has manifested in culture and society. If we invest in themes of revolution, we risk trivializing resistance and freedom for the revolution defines our alienation, but without the thought of radical change, are there any hopes for reorientations of our future and how we act upon it? This collection of essays and responses documents the Aesthetics and Politics Lecture Series. Each semester a new theme is developed with a series of invited speakers to tackle contemporary issues across art, politics and society.
