The Resurgence of the Politics of Everyday Life in the Long 1960s

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book shows that artists and the discussions they revived - on the role of culture in democracy; the role of the artist in society; and the position of the work of art within late capitalism - directly contributed to larger discussions on democracy within the context of the Cold War.
