L'agitation sociale et la contestation politique ont trouvé depuis toujours des formes d'expressions visuelles aussi bien que verbales. Les graffitis sur les murs, les tracts distribués lors des manifestations, les affiches placardées dans les rues ont apporté leur contribution à l'expression de la contestation. Cette iconographie contestataire reflète des luttes de pouvoir, exprime une révolte contre l'ordre établi, appelle aux armes ou pousse un cri passionné en faveur d'une cause.Du XVIe siècle à nos jours, de la Réforme aux LGBT, cet ouvrage nous fait voyager à travers des siècles de graphismes qui dénoncent les atrocités de la guerre, raillent les ridicules de la royauté, des hommes d'État, des religions et de la société tout entière, appellent à la fin de la discrimination raciale ou de l'apartheid, revendiquent la liberté contre la tyrannie ou la dictature, se mobilisent pour les droits des femmes.Couvrant une gamme étonnante d'émotions, de la satire à l'horreur pure, Rébellion ! célèbre le droit durement acquis à la liberté d'expression, toujours agissant, toujours disputé.

This volume addresses contemporary activist practices that aim to interrupt and reorient politics as well as culture. The specific tactics analyzed here are diverse, ranging from culture jamming, sousveillance, media hoaxing, adbusting, subvertising, street art, to hacktivism, billboard liberation, and urban guerilla, to name but a few. Though indebted to the artistic and political movements of the past, this form of activism brings a novel dimension to public protest with its insistence on humor, playfulness, and confusion. This book attempts to grasp both the old and new aspects of contemporary activist practices, as well as their common characteristics and internal varieties. It attempts to open up space for the acknowledgement of the ways in which contemporary capitalism affects all our lives, and for the reflection on possible modes of struggling with it. It focuses on the possibilities that different activist tactics enable, the ways in which those may be innovative or destructive, as well as on their complications and dilemmas. The encounter between the insights of political, social and critical theory on the one hand and activist visions and struggles on the other is urgent and appealing. The essays collected here all explore such a confrontational collaboration, testing its limits and productiveness, in theory as well as in practice. In a mutually beneficial relationship, theoretical concepts are rethought through activist practices, while those activist practices are developed with the help of the insights of critical theory. This volume brings scholars and activists together in the hope of establishing a productive dialogue between the theorizations of the intricacies of our times and the subversive practices that deal with them.

Les manifestations publiques de lutte contre le racisme, les féminicides, les disparitions, les emprisonnements, les discriminations, mais aussi de résistance aux gouvernements corrompus et autoritaires, s’appuient toutes sur une esthétique dont le principe est de montrer plus que de dire. Perturbant l’ordre du théâtre politique, ces mouvements sociaux investissent les lieux mêmes où s’affiche le pouvoir pour mieux en contester la suprématie. Cet ouvrage montre comment, à l’échelle internationale — en Europe, en Argentine, au Venezuela, au Mexique, en Tunisie, en Palestine, aux Comores ou encore aux États-Unis —, les manifestations et revendications politiques de citoyens ordinaires font de l’esthétique un vecteur des instances contestataires à travers des artefacts ou des performances dans l’espace public et médiatique. Leur puissance expressive spatialise et théâtralise les manifestations, les mouvements de foule et les occupations. L’artivisme s’intègre alors à la dynamique de la lutte, et participe d’un système commun qui incite à questionner le rôle de l’art dans l’esthétique des luttes.

Reexamining the Chicano civil rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s, In the Spirit of a New People brings to light new insights about social activism in the twentieth-century and new lessons for progressive politics in the twenty-first. Randy J. Ontiveros explores the ways in which Chicano/a artists and activists used fiction, poetry, visual arts, theater, and other expressive forms to forge a common purpose and to challenge inequality in America.Focusing on cultural politics, Ontiveros reveals neglected stories about the Chicano movement and its impact: how writers used the street press to push back against the network news; how visual artists such as Santa Barraza used painting, installations, and mixed media to challenge racism in mainstream environmentalism; how El Teatro Campesino’s innovative “actos,” or short skits,sought to embody new, more inclusive forms of citizenship; and how Sandra Cisneros and other Chicana novelists broadened the narrative of the Chicano movement. In the Spirit of a New People articulates a fresh understanding of how the Chicano movement contributed to the social and political currents of postwar America, and how the movement remains meaningful today.
