Recenzii
In just over a hundred sparkling and witty pages, [Borenstein] takes readers inside the remarkable evolution of Pussy Riot... Along the way, Pussy Riot offers crisp insights into Russian feminism, performance art in the media age and the problem of anonymity in a world in thrall to celebrity.
This is recommended reading for anyone interested in history, feminism, politics and art movements.
Eliot Borenstein takes readers trough the fascinating discussion triggered by the Pussy Riot in and after their famous 'punk prayer'. Does contemporary protest have to be spectacular? What happens when protesters become celebrities? How feminist Pussy Riot eventually are? And what lessons can we learn from 'speaking punk to power'? A must read for everyone interested in art and politics.
Eliot Borenstein succinctly explains what made Pussy Riot a global phenomenon. He uncovers the complex context of the affair which builds off the interplay between political protest, prank and parody, language taboos, post-modernist art activism, performance, dissidence, punk, the subversive politics of the female body, religion, and church.
Borenstein shows the need to understand Pussy Riot not just as activists, but transgressive actionists, who played with meaning, context, and syntax to say no to the Putin regime's authoritarian performance. Unmasking the layers of meaning, the book takes the analysis through their improvisational, multivocal, and sometimes problematic transformation and ends with its own radical claim that Masha and Nadya continue to speak punk to power.
Unlike other accounts that have tried to unmask Pussy Riot, Eliot Borenstein sets a radically different agenda. Comfortable with the complexities and inconsistencies of the Pussy Riot phenomenon, he evaluates what it takes to fight the oppressive political regime in Russia. Borenstein's unique blend of wit, compassion and critical analysis makes this a highly engaging and enjoyable read.
