Each chapter explores a different ‘current’ within the broad range of alternative aesthetics, covering an Aesthetic of the Commons; the Carnivalesque and Festive-revolutionary Practices; Political Modernism and post-Brechtian Performance; the Transmogrification of the Negative, the Hybridization of Documentary and fiction; and the Fractured Chronotope, and the Musicalization of Cinema.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An invaluable text for anyone interested in contemporary politics, aesthetics, and the media, \u003ci\u003eKeywords\u003c\/i\u003e offers a cornucopia of old and new strategies available for use by critics as well as by artists. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Keywords\u003c\/i\u003e is no list of PC jargon, but rather an almost Borgesian carnival of concepts that inspires something akin to hope.
