Review of "The Composition of Movements to Come: Aesthetics and Cultural Labor After the Avant-Garde" by Stevphen Shukaitis (Rowman : Littlefield International)

Abstract

Stevphen Shukaitis has produced an interesting text by situating a strategic conversation between artistic avant-gardes and autonomist political movements. He begins with a plea for rethinking strategy, and not just questions of tactics, in seeking radical aesthetic and socio-political change.
