Aprašymas

Art and Emancipation addresses the philosophical, political, and cultural vicissitudes facing art and emancipatory practice. In this, across a powerfully wide-ranging set of themes, theoretical registers and historical examples, John Roberts, analyses the key problems that art after conceptual art continues to confront, given art's longstanding relationship to market and institution, the commodity form and mass culture, problems that, in a substantive sense, remain constitutive of art's relations to the antinomies of technological and social 'progress', modernity and the concept of the 'new' namely, artistic labour and machinic labour, art and negation, identity and subjectivity, agency and audience, and history and value. As such, the book provides a rigorous and ambitious engagement with the limits and possibilities of art's fundamental contribution to emancipatory practice and discourse.
