Gabriel Rockhill opens new space for rethinking the relationship
between art and politics. Rather than understanding the two spheres
as separated by an insurmountable divide or linked by a privileged
bridge, Rockhill demonstrates that art and politics are not fixed
entities with a singular relation but rather dynamically
negotiated, sociohistorical practices with shifting and imprecise
borders.
"Radical History and the Politics of Art" proposes a
significant departure from extant debates on what is commonly
called "art" and "politics," and the result is an impressive foray
into the force field of history, in which cultural practices are
meticulously analyzed in their social and temporal dynamism without
assuming a conceptual unity behind them. Rockhill thereby develops
an alternative logic of history and historical change, as well as a
novel account of social practices and a multidimensional theory of
agency. Engaging with a diverse array of intellectual, artistic,
and political constellations, this tour de force diligently maps
the various interactions between different dimensions of aesthetic
and political practices as they intertwine and sometimes merge in
precise fields of struggle.
