Disruption in the Arts: Textual, Visual, and Performative Strategies for Analyzing Societal Self-Descriptions

In: Culture & Conflict

Abstract

The volume examines aesthetic disruptions within the various arts in contemporary culture. It assumes that the political potential of art is not solely derived from presenting its audiences with openly political content. Rather, it creates a space of perception and interaction using formal means, thus problematizing the self-evidence of hegemonic structures of communication.
