The relationship between art and politics has been contested throughout the modern period. In recent times, in tandem with developments in contemporary art, it has moved to the centre of debates in art and cultural theory. In Europe, these debates tend to focus on the writings of certain pivotal thinkers, around whom distinctive schools of thought have developed, crossing national boundaries in new and provocative ways. For the first time, this volume brings together these thinkers from France, Italy, and Germany to offer a wide-ranging overview of the major themes in this challenging and provocative area. It will be invaluable for anyone seeking an up-to-date understanding of the topic. With an insightful introduction by the editors, the volume features contributions from some of the world's leading philosophers, theorists, and critics: Éric Alliez, Franco Berardi, Georges Didi-Huberman, Boris Groys, Maurizio Lazzarato, Elisabeth Lebovici, Antonio Negri, Jacques Rancière, Judith Revel, Peter Sloterdijk, and Peter Weibel.
