The Aesthetic Exception theorises anew the relation between art and politics. It challenges critical trends that discount the role of aesthetic autonomy, to impulsively reassert art as an effective form of social engagement. But it equally challenges those on the flipside of the efficacy debate, who insist that art’s politics is limited to a recondite space of ‘autonomous resistance’. The book shows how each side of the efficacy debate overlooks art’s exceptional status and its social mediations. Mobilising philosophy and cultural theory, and employing examples from visual art, performance, and theatre, it proposes four alternative tests to ‘effect’ to offer a nuanced account of art’s political character. Those tests examine how art relates to politics as a practice that articulates its historical conjuncture, and how it prefigures the ‘new’ through simulations capable of activating the political life of the spectator.

The Aesthetic Exception critically re-evaluates the relation between art and politics by challenging longstanding assumptions surrounding political ‘effect’ in art and the problem of art’s autonomous status. Drawing on examples from visual art and theatre, it offers a new approach based on a conjunctural understanding of how art becomes political.

Recenzijas

'Fisher is meticulous in discussing and describing the categories that constitute political art in the twentieth century: state, government, revolution, and power.' The European Journal of Theatre and Performance

'Starting with a seemingly simple question Can art be political?, this book opens a Pandoras box that reveals the paradoxical nature of the relationship between art and life, the impossibility of taxonomy of political theatre, on the one hand, and its potential as a hermeneutical tool, on the other, and when it comes to postdramatic theatre and theory nothing is anymore as it seemed before The depth of analysis is impressive, whenever we feel we have reached a conceptual stable ground, Fisher probes further and invites us to question deeper!' Silvija Jestrovic, University of Warwick

'Fisher is a joy to read! He writes with clarity and urgency but without oversimplification and gratuitous polemic. He draws on the whole toolkit of interdisciplinary thought and covers a vast terrain in contemporary theatre, but he never relies on jargon and avoids any form of superficiality with cautious optimism, [ he] takes the lead of key artists and heads out towards new horizons of possibility, en route, he has revitalized our understanding of both politics and aesthetics.' Nikos Papastergiadis, University of Melbourne -- .
