Arts, Pedagogy and Cultural Resistance brings cultural studies' perspectives to bear on Arts practices.
Each contribution synthesizes creative approaches to philosophy and new materialist understanding of practice to show how human-nonhuman interaction at the core of Arts practice is a critical post human pedagogy.
Across fine art, dance, gallery education, film and philosophy, the book contends that certain kinds of Arts practice can be a critical pedagogy in which tactical engagements with community, space, place and materiality become means of not only disrupting dominant discourse but also of making new discourses come to matter.
It demonstrates how embodied, located acts of making can materially disrupt cultural hegemony and suggest different ways the world might materialize.
It argues that the practice of Arts making is a post human cultural pedagogy in which people become part of a broader assemblage of matter, and all aspects of this network are solidified in objects or processes that are themselves pedagogical.
In doing so the book offers a fresh and theoretically engaged perspective on arts as pedagogy.
