Political Aesthetics highlights the complex and ambiguous
connections of aesthetics with social, cultural and political
experiences in contemporary societies. If today aesthetics seems a
rather overused term, mixing a variety of historical realities and
complex personal states of being, its relevance as a connecting
agent between individual, state and society is stronger than ever.
The actual context of political and economic crisis generates new
relations between official imposed aesthetics and the resistance
and critiques they trigger. Considered beyond the poles of power
and protest, the book examines how traditional or innovative
artistic practices may acquire unexpected capacities of subversion.
It nourishes the current debate around the new political stakes of
aesthetics as an inviolable right of ordinary citizens, an
essential element of empowerment and agency in a democratic every
day. It will be of interest to students and scholars of
international relations, political culture and political
aesthetics, as well as critical sociology and history. It will also
be useful for some broad courses in media studies, cultural
studies, and sociology.
