The Cultural Resistance Reader by Stephen Duncombe

According to Stephen Duncombe 's statement in the reader of cultural resistance, the cultural boycott is "a safe haven in a world without fever" and is also the world of escape from politics and problems. (123) The increase in public space privatization was the main form of cultural resistance in 1998. When observing other forms of cultural resistance, I noticed family education and the resistance it produced. In the early 1980s American home education increased due to speculation about non - traditional ethics in public schools.

Stephen Duncombe teaches the history and politics of the media at New York University. He is the author or editor of 6 books including dreams: to rethink progressive politics and culture to resist readers of fantasy era. Duncombe is a lifelong political activist who co-founded a community advocacy group on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and is the organizer of the chapter on "Recovering the Streets of New York", an international direct action organization. He co-founded School of Creative Activity in 2011 and is now a co-director of the Art Event Center. www.artisticactivism.org

At the time, I began to reexamine the book "Steven Duncom's" Dreams: re-imagining progressive politics in the era of illusion ". Duncombe formed the concept of "Dreampolitik": Even though it is irrelevant to social or political topics, the entire Western culture has opposed the possible dreams of better expression by chance. For example, how the simulated game world expresses utopia / utopia, the real world can try to imitate itself under correct guidance. I found an artist who inspired me in this field. Among them are The Yes Men, Molleindustria, Joseph DeLappe and others.

According to Duncombe (2002), the cultural strategy here is from survival to revolution. "Survival is a view that cultural resistance is the only way to deal with everyday life and unfair life while maintaining the dignity appearance.The rebellion leads to cultural resistance to political activity against power It is a place "(page 7-8). The consequences of such resistance may include suppressing, forcing meaningful reform. The revolution is to overthrow the system of control and control, to resist culture and to become a culture. Therefore, today's cultural boycott may become a product culture tomorrow. Commercialization of culture is the most important chapter in the story of contemporary cultural resistance. Adorno (2002) and Hoggart (1958/1970) argue that commoditization reduces our cultural passion and rebellion and may easily incorporate "pseudo-activities" into the system.
