Art and Politics

In Nikos Papastergiadis ‘Aesthetics and politics – in the age of ambient spectacles’, Ranciere’s and Raunig’s perspectives are compared and contrasted. I found that the way these two perspectives were analysed and evaluated gave me an improved understanding of how art and politics can work together.

Although I think it important to note that Raunig does not think that they are one and the same, they may integrate and affect each other but do not necessarily need each other to exist. Which I guess means that although they can connect on a certain levels forming new possibilities and opportunities they will eventually return to their own individual avenues.

“The shuttling between rather than the blurring of the fields of art and politics”
