Voicing Dissent presents a unique and original series of
interviews with American artists (including Guerrilla Girls on
Tour, Tony Shalhoub, Shepard Fairey, Sean Astin, and many others)
who have voiced their opposition to the war in Iraq. Following
Pierre Bourdieu's example, these discussions are approached
sociologically and provide a thorough analysis of the relationships
between arts and politics as well as the limits and conditions of
political speech and action. These painters and graphic artists,
musicians, actors, playwrights, theatre directors and filmmakers
reveal their perceptions of politics, war, security and terrorism
issues, the Middle East, their experiences with activism, as well
as their definition of the artist's role and their practice of
citizenship. Addressing the crucial questions for contemporary
democracies - such as artists' function in society, the crisis of
political legitimacy and representation, the rise of new modes of
contestation, and the limits to free public speech - this book will
be of interest to scholars in sociology, politics, and the
arts.
