How can we understand the arise of a new form of
resistance, operating through the production of imageries to create alternative knowledges? Are
they actually able to dissolve the concentrations of
power to a state of balance? Or do they
unintentionally reproduce the very forms of power
that they oppose to?
With the adoption of a Foucauldian understanding of
power and discourse production, this work presents
and analyzes the creative dissent expressed by
three groups based in Istanbul. Callon & Latour's
concept of black boxes are employed as mediums
through which power can translate and reproduce, in
an age defined by constant proliferation of images
and spectacles. This book will draw attention to
the ways in which creative dissent could be used as a
form of resistance, underlining its potential challenges.
