Description
This interdisciplinary course examines the intersection of popular culture, art, and revolutionary praxis in the 20th and 21st centuries. Traversing theatre, film, literature, visual art, dance, and music, we will examine debates about revolutionary art¿s form and content within Left-political movements, anticolonial struggles, and movements against patriarchy, racism, and caste supremacy in contexts that include China¿s Cultural Revolution, FRELIMO songs in Mozambique, Brecht¿s epic theatre, Soviet montage techniques, and the graffiti art of the Arab Spring.
