Abstract

The section Artists and Political Movements concentrates especially on the role of art and artists in social and political movements. We invite panels that increase an understanding of the contribution that different forms of arts and artistic practices bring to politics. The section intends to focus on the relationship between politics and the arts, in which different ‘creative practices' are considered as forms of political action and political thought. For instance, what kind of roles do different visual, textual or audio-visual narratives have in supporting, criticising or producing political (counter)movements? How do narrative practices establish truths about politics? How to reflect on ethical dimensions of artistic practices in society, or, in which forms has artistic resistance acted in oppressive regimes? Furthermore, the panels might discuss issues, in which the political cause has been the major inspirational source for artistic action. Panels might also highlight aspects of art as power/critique of political power in certain political and historical context. The general core of the section is to investigate ways in which politics and the arts can be combined from the perspective of political theory and analysis. The panelists should raise questions of method and praxis, and explore ways in which the combination between political and artistic action advance our understanding of the political.
