Feminism. Art. Capitalism.

'At this moment of real and perceived impasses, techno-anxieties, and collective exhaustion, Dimitrakaki offers an unflinching and salutary critique of feminist art history and theory and their role in the concealment of labour in the work of art' -- Alexandra Kokoli, Associate Professor, Middlesex University and Senior Research Associate, University of Johannesburg 'Angela Dimitrakaki stands among the foremost Marxist-Feminist art historians of our time. With extraordinary scope and ambition, this book maps the terrain on which contemporary feminist art discourse is being shaped. Conceptually bold, historically grounded and politically incisive, it is essential reading for anyone engaged with art, feminism and anticapitalism. A landmark contribution to a twenty-first century social history of art' -- Dave Beech, author of <i>Art and Labour</i> 'As 'feminist art' has become yet another art historical category with high market value, Dimitrakaki's book offers essential tools to disentangle feminist artistic practices from capitalism's capture. A much-needed analysis of feminism’s transformative potential, in and beyond art' -- Giovanna Zapperi, Professor of Contemporary Art History, University of Geneva 'Applying personal reflection and rigorous investigation, Dimiktrakaki unflinchingly examines the contradictory intersection of contemporary art, politics, and ideology in bold, inspired analysis that positions her as a leading intellectual while delivering a much-needed critical work to facilitate insight and resistance' -- Gregory Sholette, author of <i>The Art of Activism and the Activism of Art</i> 'This book sets out its arguments with shattering clarity. By offering complications instead of banalities, questions rather than endings, it cuts through the bullshit and cracks open the field of feminist art history to new possibilities' -- Victoria Horne, art historian, Northumbria University
