The Nature of Revolution provides the first account of art and
politics under the brutal Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. James A.
Tyner repositions Khmer Rouge artworks within their proper
political and economic context: the materialization of a political
organization in an era of anticolonial and decolonization
movements. Consequently, both the organization's policies and
practices?including the production of poetry, music, and
photography?were incontrovertibly shaped by and created to further
the Khmer Rouge's agenda.Theoretically informed and empirically
grounded, Tyner's work examines the social dimensions of the Khmer
Rouge, while contributing broadly to a growing literature on the
intersection of art and politics. Building on the foundational
works of theorists such as Jacques Ranciere, Theodor Adorno, and
Walter Benjamin, Tyner explores the insights of Leon Trotsky and
his descriptions of the politics of aesthetics specific to
socialist revolutions. Ultimately, Tyner reveals a fundamental
tension between individuality and bureaucratic control and its
impact on artistic creativity and freedom.
