It addresses a diverse range of topics, including the state and revolution, Communist and post-Communist aesthetics, Situationist thought and the avant-garde, subjectivity and commodification, and the politics and problems of contemporary artistic practice. The contributions also consider several other pressing questions in the visual arts, from the practice of digital culture to appropriations of critical theory, from the relations of art and the spectacle to architecture in the age of global modernity. This book on Marxism and art is not offered in a spirit of nostalgia: on the contrary, it testifies to the continuing vitality and confidence of historical materialist thought in the field of cultural theory and practice in the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Editors: Matthew Beaumont is Lecturer in English Literature at University College London.\u003cbr\u003e Andrew Hemingway is Professor of Art History at University College London. \u003cbr\u003e Esther Leslie is Professor of Political Aesthetics at Birkbeck College, University of London. \u003cbr\u003e John Roberts is Senior Research Fellow in Fine Art at the University of Wolverhampton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 476\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.96 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 29, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44424776056967,"sku":"9783039109388","price":196.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/RlgBqjGHXa9783039109388.webp?v=1775656006","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/as-radical-as-reality-itself-essays-on-marxism-and-art-for-the-21st-century-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
