Art and Autonomy: A Critical Reader

In November 2023 Sven Lütticken emailed me to say that, after several years of hard work the ‘Art and Autonomy Reader’ had finally been published by Afterall

My article ‘Social Autonomy and the Use Value of Art’, originally published in ‘Afterall’, Autumn/Winter 2016 (and available as a pdf on the Writing tab of this website) is reprinted in Part Two of the book ‘Useful Art’, alongside articles and writings by John Ruskin, Karl Marx, William Morris, Oscar Wilde, Upton Sinclair, Nul Group, Gustav Metzger, Gullaume Bijl and Jean Baudrillard.

As well as this republication I also have a credit for drafting portions of part two (many thanks Sven).
