Artful Practices of Resistance

Abstract

With the focus on artfulness we invite contributions, which ponder the political meaning and relevance of art both in its more conventional forms, and where it is not expected to emerge or be sensed. “Unexpected art” includes various forms of insinuation and indirect and subtle forms of engagement or movement, which however can be interpreted politically and understood to shed light on resistance as a corporeal and sensuous political practice. What are the possibilities that sense and the body bear for alternative imaginings of resistance and politics? How is it possible to move from theoretical and methodological debates to grounding the potential that the emerging (global) political landscapes carry with them? We hope to receive contributions which are not only theoretical but empirically informed.
