Vered Maimon argues that current artistic and activist practices are no longer concerned with the âœpolitics of representationâ and the critique of the spectacle, but with a âœpolitics of rightsâ and the performative formation of shared yet highly contested public domains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book thus offers a critical framework in which to rethink the artistic, the activist, and the political under globalization. The primary focus is on the ways contemporary artists and activists examine political citizenship as a paradox where subjects are struggling to acquire rights whose formulation rests on attributes they allegedly don't have; while the universal political validity of these rights presupposes precisely the abstraction of every form of difference, rights for all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to scholars working in art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction 1.
