{"product_id":"as-radical-as-reality-itself-matthew-beaumont-9783039109388","title":"As Radical as Reality Itself: Essays on Marxism and Art for the 21st Century","description":"This collection of essays, by a number of established scholars and artists, proposes new directions for Marxist cultural theory and the criticism of modern visual culture. It addresses a diverse range of topics, including the state and revolution, Communist and post-Communist aesthetics, Situationist thought and the avant-garde, subjectivity and commodification, and the politics and problems of contemporary artistic practice. The contributions also consider several other pressing questions in the visual arts, from the practice of digital culture to appropriations of critical theory, from the relations of art and the spectacle to architecture in the age of global modernity. This book on Marxism and art is not offered in a spirit of nostalgia: on the contrary, it testifies to the continuing vitality and confidence of historical materialist thought in the field of cultural theory and practice in the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Beaumont\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3039109383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783039109388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Ltd, International Academic Publis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.96d","brand":"Matthew Beaumont","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446077534463,"sku":"9783039109388","price":109.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29308215-2a81-4cd0-8852-ec0a94363aac.jpg?v=1777222473","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/as-radical-as-reality-itself-matthew-beaumont-9783039109388","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
