Aesthetics of Resistance is a three volume work, but unfortunately for the Angloworld only Volume One has been translated into English. This is a travesty for political, socio-historical, ethical and aesthetic/cultural reasons. What he offers is not only an "historical novel" centered around the aesthetic education of 3 working class students coming of age in the tumultuous and politically volatile onset of WWII, it also provides a granular view of the populist clash between Communism, Socialism and Fascism, both political and psychological. It may as well serve as a syllabus for a master class on the History of Underdog Art, with incisive aesthetic criticism/commentary of the same.
My dudes, it bowled me over. While this volume provides more content than I could chew over in a lifetime, I am seriously considering shooting Joachim Neugroschel a personal email requesting galleys of Volumes 2 and 3.
I am convinced that now, more than ever, we need a nuanced understanding of the rise of Fascism that pays especial attention to its greatest victims and most (un)likely allies--the un and underemployed laborers, i.e. the poor and disenfranchised. Peter Weiss has an enormous amount to tell us about where we are and, I suspect, where we might be if the lessons of aesthetic resistance are learned. ( )
