Their films, videos, and photographic series address the history of failed Utopian experiments and counter-hegemonic social practices. This study illustrates the political significance of these artistic practices and offers a crucial contribution to the debate on the conditions of Utopian thinking in late capitalist society, arguing that contemporary artists' interest in the past is the result of a shift within the temporal organization of the Utopian imagination from its futuristic pole toward the pole of remembrance. This book therefore provides one of the first critical examinations of the recent turn towards documentary in the field of contemporary art." -- Back cover.Bibliography: Bibliogr. p. 165-178, index; Includes bibliographical references (pages 165-178) and index..Subject - Topical Name: 210377Films expérimentaux, Histoire et critique | Films documentaires Histoire et critique
