The Aesthetic Exception. Essays on Art, Theatre, and Politics, Hardback/Tony Fisher

The aesthetic exception critically re-evaluates the relation between art and politics by challenging longstanding assumptions surrounding political 'effect' in art and the problem of art's autonomous status. Drawing on examples from visual art and theatre, it offers a new approach based on a conjunctural understanding of how art becomes political. -- .
