Description
Experience a profound exploration of contemporary art and political activism with our latest offering, a brand new book from Manchester University Press, ISB9781526134899, published in 2019. In 'Vanguardia', readers are invited to challenge the notion that the avant-garde is a relic of the past. This thought-provoking text rejects the prevailing idea of the 'end of ideology' amidst rampant neoliberal austerity, neocolonial militarism, and the pressing ecological crisis. 'Vanguardia' scrutinizes the evolution of socially engaged art and theoretical practice during the tumultuous era of the Capitalocene. Covering pivotal events from the last decade such as the anti-globalization protests, Occupy Wall Street, the Maple Spring, Strike Debt, the Anthropocene movements, Black Lives Matter, and MeToo campaigns, this compelling narrative advocates for a revolutionary consciousness embedded within avant-garde art and politics. Whether you are an art enthusiast, activist, or scholar of contemporary culture, this insightful book will enrich your understanding of the intersection between radical leftist ideology and modern societal movements.

Description:
The avant garde is dead, or so the story goes for many leftists and capitalists alike. But in an era of neoliberal austerity, neocolonial militarism and ecological crisis, this postmodern view seems increasingly outmoded. Rejecting 'end of ideology' post-politics, Vanguardia delves into the changing praxis of socially engaged art and theory in the age of the Capitalocene. Covering the major events of the last decade, from anti-globalisation protests, Occupy Wall Street, the Maple Spring, Strike Debt and the Anthropocene, to the Black Lives Matter and MeToo campaigns, Vanguardia puts forward a radical leftist commitment to the revolutionary consciousness of avant-garde art and politics. -- .
