Helene Strauss, "Wayward Feeling: Audio-Visual Culture and Aesthetic Activism in Post-Rainbow South Africa "
English | ISBN: 1487540582 | 2022 | 280 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Inventive new methods of audio-visual mediation and aesthetic activism have been giving shape, since at least the mid-2000s, to feelings of despair, disappointment, and rage at the injustice that South Africa's colonial and apartheid histories continue to trail in their wake. Wayward Feeling reveals how racism, sexism, and other forms of structural disenfranchisement have continued to assert themselves in affective terms, and how these terms have been recast in spaces both public and intimate in "post-rainbow" times.
