This book is a comprehensive introduction to the relationship
between communism (understood as an ideological, political, and
social project) and culture, broadly defined as the field of
aesthetic production. Communism was a global phenomenon, and the
global civil war of the 20th century was, in more than one respect,
a cultural war, which involved some of the most influential figures
of the last century. The book highlights and explains the impact of
political mythologies in the effiorts to transcend the "bourgeois"
legacies and engage in a social, cultural, and anthropological
revolution. The authors examine the interplay between utopian goals
and cultural practices in fields such as literature, visual arts,
film, and humanities in general.
