Voicing Dissent: American Artists and the War on Iraq by Violaine Roussel,Bleuwenn Lechaux

By Violaine Roussel,Bleuwenn Lechaux

Voicing Dissent offers a unique and unique sequence of interviews with American artists (including Guerrilla women on travel, Tony Shalhoub, Shepard Fairey, Sean Astin, and so forth) who've voiced their competition to the conflict in Iraq. Following Pierre Bourdieu's instance, those discussions are approached sociologically and supply a radical research of the relationships among arts and politics in addition to the limits and conditions of political speech and motion. those painters and image artists, musicians, actors, playwrights, theatre administrators and filmmakers show their perceptions of politics, warfare, safety and terrorism concerns, the center East, their reviews with activism, in addition to their definition of the artist's function and their perform of citizenship. Addressing the crucial questions for modern democracies - akin to artists' functionality in society, the challenge of political legitimacy and illustration, the increase of latest modes of contestation, and the bounds to loose public speech - this publication should be of curiosity to students in sociology, politics, and the humanities.
