Description: Politicizing Creative Economy : Activism and a Hunger Called Theater, Paperback by Da Costa, Dia, ISBN 0252082109, ISBN-13 9780252082108, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The author explores the relationship between the creative economy discourse and activism in India through two activist performers: the communist-affiliated Jana Natya Manch (Janam) and Bhutan Theatre, a community-based group of the indigenous Chhara people. She examines the structural violence of creative economy discourses through analysis of how creativity has come under attack within development planning discourses and spaces of activist performance. She illustrates how the performance practices and ideology of these groups foster dominant discourses of creativity while exceeding the capture of creativity as a mode of capitalist reproduction and masculinist Hindu hegemony. She describes how Janam memorializes industrial working-class labor heritage and struggle within Delhi's creative economy discourses and how Bhutan Theatre in Ahmedabad enables creative economy opportunities for constructing alternative community histories, nondiscriminatory education, clean livelihoods, and mainstream belonging.
