SynopsisResistance: aesthetic tactics from the suffragettes to 1968 to our tumultuous present "Make Love Not War," "Soyez réalistes, demandez l'impossible," "Keine Macht für Niemanden," "We are the 99%" the history of the last 50 years has been accompanied by a constant flow of statements, practices and declarations of dissatisfaction with regard to the prevailing order. These slogans mark moments when dissent has been able to reach from the margins of society into its very center--beginning as something mostly unorganized and unruly in real or virtual space, sometimes violent, rarely controllable and suddenly erupting into the mainstream. Masterfully and creatively drawing on contemporary signs and symbols, subverting and transforming them to engender new aesthetics and meanings, the legendary moments of 20th-century protest opened up spaces that eluded control. Irony, subversion and provocation pricked small but palpable pinholes in the controlling systems of rule. Protest takes a wide-ranging approach to the practice of protest, bringing together contributors from different disciplines and from around the globe. Social, historical, sociological and political-scientific perspectives play as much of a role in this publication as approaches that draw on image theory, popular culture, cultural studies and the arts. Simultaneously historical and contemporary, the book also explores such present-day developments as the virtualization of activism, the relationship of the virtual and the fictional, and the exploitation of these trends in politics by power-holders of all shades. A timely publication, Protest: The Aesthetics of Resistance explores marginalized communities' practices of resistance and reflects on the past, present and future of protest., Resistance: aesthetic tactics from the suffragettes to 1968 to our tumultuous present "Make Love Not War," "Soyez r alistes, demandez l'impossible," "Keine Macht f r Niemanden," "We are the 99%": the history of the last 50 years has been accompanied by a constant flow of statements, practices and declarations of dissatisfaction with regard to the prevailing order.

A timely publication, Protest: The Aesthetics of Resistance explores marginalized communities' practices of resistance and reflects on the past, present and future of protest., '"Make Love Not War", "Soyez realistes, demandez l'impossible," "Keine Macht fur Niemanden," "We are the 99%": The history of the last fifty (or 100 or 150) years has been accompanied by a constant flow of statements, of practices, of declarations of dissatisfaction with regard to prevailing conditions. When something is able to reach from the margins of society into its very center - something mostly unorganized and unruly, sometimes violent, rarely controllable - it forges ahead in the form of a protest. This takes place in (real or virtual) spaces and is accomplished by (likewise real or virtual) bodies. The spaces and the bodies to which the protest relates are the spaces of politics and society. It masterfully and creatively draws on contemporary signs and symbols, subverting and transforming them to engender new aesthetics and meanings, thereby opening up a space that eludes control. From a position of powerlessness, irony, subversion, and provocation are its tools for pricking small but palpable pinholes into the controlling system of rule. The publication "Protest" presents and reflects on present and past forms of protest and looks at marginalized communities' practices of resistance from a wide variety of perspectives. Social, culture-historical, sociological, and political-scientific perspectives. Social, culture-historical, sociological, and political-scientific perspectives play as much of a role here as approaches that draw on image theory, popular culture, cultural studies or contemporary positions from the arts. In the process, the books takes into account in particular such present-day developments as the virtualization of protest, how it has been turned into the fictional, and its exploitation in politics by power-holders of all shades.
