Author: Roberts,John
ISBN: 9781781689134
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Year first published: 26 Aug 2015
Pages: 240 Format: Paperback / softback
Since the decidedly bleak beginning of the 21st century, art practice has become increasingly politicized. Yet, few sustained defenses of the avant-garde have been put forward. Revolutionary Time and the Avant-Garde is the first book of its kind to look at the legacy of the avant-garde in relation to the deepening crisis of capitalist non-reproduction. An invigorating revitalization of the Frankfurt School legacy, Roberts' book is unique in its penetrating definition and defense of the avant-garde idea, providing a refined conceptual set of tools that critically engages with the most advanced art theorists of our day, such as Hal Foster, Andrew Benjamin, Alain Badiou, Jacques Ranci re, Paolo Virno, Claire Bishop or Michael Hardt and Toni Negri.
