Rebellion and Resistance

More about the book

Mainstream culture contributes to ensuring social cohesion, control and consent. By the same token groups, movements and individuals use culture - including art, architecture, literature and drama - to comment, contest, resist and rebel against what they perceive to be unacceptable in the established view. In Rebellion and Resistance, edited by Henrik Jensen, an international research group explores these themes in novel contexts. The volume is published by the Thematic Work Group on "Power and Culture", part of CLIOHRES.net, a Network of Excellence supported by the European Commission through the Sixth Framework Programme of its Directorate General for Research.
