Art and Politics Specialist Group

Purpose:

To foster interdisciplinary and critical research that connects art, culture, politics and international relations. we conceive of both ‘art’ and ‘politics’ in the broadest terms, and are keen to facilitate intellectual work that examines all aspects of the cultural landscape.

Organization:

‘Art and Politics’ has been running since 2004, and is currently increasing its scope, ambition and membership. the group is based in the UK but is open to scholars, students and practitioners from around the world. ‘art and politics’ has organised a number of panels at both BISA (british international studies association) and the PSA (political studies association), and will do so again in 2006. in addition, the group will host an interdisciplinary workshop in 2006 broadly examining the contemporary relationship between politics and aesthetics.
