Neoliberal Aesthetics: Fried, Rancière and the Form of the Photograph
A compelling article by the literary theorist, Walter Benn Michaels, that persuasively discusses how photographic form can serve as a strategy for working through both the aesthetics and politics of neoliberalism.
"So the idea instead is the more modest — almost tautological — one that the assertion of form embodies an alternative to neoliberal aesthetics and, in that alternative, the possibility and, for some, the desirability of an alternative to neoliberalism itself."
