Angela Dimitrakaki, "Feminism. Art. Capitalism" (Pluto Press, 2026)
About this episode
Angela Dimitrakaki discusses her book 'Feminism, Art, Capitalism' and its Marxist Feminist perspective on contemporary issues in society and the cultural sector.
Can art change the contemporary world? In Feminism, Art, Capitalism Angela Dimitrakaki, a Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory at the university of Edinburgh, offers a Marxist Feminist perspective on a variety of issues in both society and the cultural sector. Engaging with a huge range of examples, as well as theorising key issues such as work and labour, the long modern, communing practices and technology, the book offers a global perspective on the contradictions that feminism faces under capitalist culture. A rich examination of the book will be of interest across the humanities, as well as for anyone interested in the importance of art today. Learn more about your ad choices.
