4.9/5 (11832 ratings)

Description:Edited by Elspeth Tilley, with a foreword by Silas Harrebye, Creative Activism Research, Pedagogy and Practice offers a colossal 29 chapters from 42 contributors. This timely collection explores the growing global recognition of creativity and the arts as vital to social movements and change. Bringing together diverse perspectives from leading academics and practitioners who investigate how creative activism is deployed, taught, and critically analysed, it delineates the key parameters of this emerging field.The book’s five sections traverse: defining and theorising creative activism and key issues in the field; innovative modes and methods for teaching the next generation of creative activists; visual activism examples including art, photography, post-it-note walls, and digital tools; embodied creative activism through dance, flash mobs, and movement; and performative creative activism via theatre, performance art, and puppetry.The chapters span Europe, The Americas, Oceania, and Asia. The forms of activism scrutinised are diverse—from aural installations, Shakespeare in prisons, and the pageantry of Extinction Rebellion, to digital scrapbooks, schools without walls, and printmaking. The issues tackled are similarly wide-ranging, from baby loss to rape culture to climate change to the ethical problems with actor-training methodologies. The authors are also varied, including People of Colour, Indigenous authors, trans authors, disabled authors, people writing from within and outside the academy, and more.The result is a multidisciplinary set of evidence-based cases offering broad, deep, theoretically informed, and frontline-tested insights into creative activism. The chapters reconceptualise creative activism in inventive ways, and unpack the affects, aesthetics, promises, and limitations of real-world creative activism examples. Many of the cases demonstrate positive impacts but this is not a naïve or ‘cheerleading’ collection. Instead, the book offers a knowing take from critical thinkers and creative activists in the field, using scholarly tools to analyse, critique, and acknowledge the multi-layered challenges of driving social, cultural, and political change using creativity and the arts. "I think this will become the definitive textbook!" (Colette F. Keen)"I continue to be blown away by the scale and energy of this collection." (Theron Schmidt)"a magnificent testament to what can be achieved by global creative activist research collaboration” (Silas Harrebye)Published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing, April 2, 2022.
