Cultural politics in the age of austerity / edited by David Berry. - 208 pages ; 24 cm

This book traces the development of cultural politics in relation to the latest economic crisis in capitalism. Focusing on themes of 'class', 'power', 'resistance' and what Marcuse termed 'affirmative culture' - or the safe management of the status quo - it provides a number of case studies exploring the various effects of 'austerity' on cultural politics. Of central importance is the question of whether austerity creates radical developments in cultural politics that resist capital and if so, whether cultural politics might be of central importance in defining of the tensions that are central to dialectics.
