Abstract:
Focuses on the changes of the 1920s to 1960s, when polemical discourse and artistic practice against the entrenched and co-opted conservitism of elite and state culture developed. The radical forms of cultural criticism and dissonance that emerged continue to resonate through contemporary activism and dissent
