But never before have these two great authors been brought together and their works refunctioned to produce an aesthetics of resistance for our times. Astutely deploying Walter Benjamin's concept of now time, this is precisely what Keith O'Regan achieves in this vital study. The result is a thoroughly original intervention in radical social theory and cultural studies. - David McNally A powerful interrogation of oppositional aesthetics in the work of two of the most inventive writers of the last few centuries. O'Regan's striking juxtaposition of Brecht and Blake features a welcome emphasis on the dynamics of production and the forces that shape it, illuminating at every turn-from big ideas to local tactics-what was to be done. - Ian Balfour, York University Author InformationKeith O'Regan, PhD (2017), teaches in the Writing and Humanities Departments of York University. His recent publications centre on comparative analyses of historical and contemporary film, and writing and graduate education. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
