This book is a collection of essays developed from the meetings of
the 'Poetics of Resistance' network in Leeds (2008) and Santiago de
Compostela (2009). The volume contains contributions from an
international group of researchers and cultural producers, who are
committed to the activation, promotion and analysis of
counter-hegemonic practices both in the development and
transmission of knowledge and in the emancipatory tools of cultural
production. The essays in the collection are written by scholars,
activists and artists from around the world and concern subjects as
diverse as poetry, film, philosophy, literary theory, plastic arts
and television. The relationship between cultural production and
resistance lies at the heart of the book's concerns. Creativity and
its manifestations in art, cultural production and knowledge
production are a vital resource for a type of resistance that draws
upon the resolve and contribution of the individual to the same
degree that it emphasizes the importance of collective reflection
and action. The interaction between artistic production,
emancipation and resistance therefore cannot be reduced to a
commitment to particular ideologies as expressed in art or writing.
Rather, the poetics of resistance and emancipation are produced
through the negotiation of the subjective and the collective, of
reflection and action, and of cultural practices and ideologies.
The volume contains contributions in English and in Spanish.
