Social engagement in art between individual work and collective practices: Feminist principle
Jelena Petrović
Sažetak
The article analyses individual and collective practices in politically engaged art, as viewed from a feminist perspective. By highlighting the need for feminist principles of action and organisation, the text also stresses the necessity of political articulation and a new social utopia through which the relation revolution-art/art-revolution can be continually changed, provoked and shaped in accordance with the everyday life needs and practices, human relations and emotions. The author theorizes the social and political engagement of art (pointing to feminism as an example of politics that establishes a field of thought and action) and brings us back to fundamental and universal questions of political economic and wider social emancipation. Through (falsely) antagonised ideological binary oppositions – individual vs. collective, aesthetic vs. political (equalized with ethical), material vs. discursive, rational vs. affective – the author indicates different turns that have occurred in art since the 1990s, paying particular attention to “difficulties” in regard to the festivalisation of feminism and art engagement. Finally, the article introduces the politics of affect as a possible strategy through which (new) revolutionary and artistic practices could interconnect and operate.
