{"product_id":"art-against-empire-samuel-alexander-9780994160690","title":"Art Against Empire: Toward an Aesthetics of Degrowth","description":"What role might art need to play in the transition beyond consumer capitalism? Can 'culture jamming' contribute to the necessary revolution in consciousness? And might art be able to provoke social change in ways that rational argument and scientific evidence cannot? In this stimulating new book, \"Art Against Empire: Toward an Aesthetics of Degrowth\", degrowth scholar Samuel Alexander explores these questions, both in theory and practice. He begins with a novel theoretical defence of art and aesthetic interventions as activity that is necessary to effective social and political activism, and concludes by presenting over one hundred 'culture jamming' artworks from a range of contributors that challenge the status quo and expand the horizons of what alternatives are possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Alexander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0994160690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780994160690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simplicity Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Samuel Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120597627135,"sku":"9780994160690","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18ccddfb-9f37-49b2-abef-1152eb0946a7.jpg?v=1687415202","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-against-empire-samuel-alexander-9780994160690","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
