NO Rhetoric(s) - Versions and Subversions of Resistance in Contemporary Global Art

Sara Alonso Gomez, Isabel J. Piniella Grille, Nadia Radwan, Elena Rosauro

An incisive examination of the intersection of global art and political resistance.

NO Rhetoric(s) examines a subject intensely debated during the last three decades but rarely a topic of its own: art as an agent of resistance, whether as a rhetorical stance or critical strategy. In the face of today's discourse on revolt and insurrection, it is necessary to ask whether the gesture of "negation" still has an emancipatory potential. NO Rhetoric(s) contributes a deeper understanding of the different logics of resistance at play between art and politics. Showcasing a diverse array of voices, this volume presents contributions on topics as varied as sexual dissidence, ecology, and geopolitics in the digital age. Through this interdisciplinary show of force, the collected authors, artists, and scholars shed light on how art approaches the most urgent issues facing today's society.
