Reviews

This is a novel and original work of political theory by two exciting and emerging scholars in the field. -- Dr. Robert Porter, University of Ulster Using four artists working in different art forms - filmmakers The Dardenne Brothers, writer Arundhati Roy, visual artist Ai Weiwei and musician Burial - the book explores the formation of creative work within a thick web of political relationships and spheres ... Unlike most books about art, usually written from an art or art historical perspective, this publication is written from a political/philosophical standpoint. Dillet and Puri analogise in the introduction that, just as Deleuze and Guattari argue for a non-philosophical approach to philosophy to see the different facets of how it really operates, a non-art approach to art is required to open up insights into its effect.
