In the 1960s, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) activists engaged with people of color working in poor communities to experiment with creative approaches to liberation through theater, media, storytelling, and craftmaking. With a dearth of resources and an abundance of urgency, SNCC activists improvised new methods of engaging with communities that created possibilities for unexpected encounters through programs such as The Free Southern Theater, El Teatro Campesino, and the Poor People's Corporation. Reading the output of these programs, Elizabeth Rodriguez Fielder argues that intimacy-making became an extension of participatory democracy. In doing so, Fielder supplants the success-failure binary for understanding social movements, focusing instead on how care work aligns with creative production. The Revolution Will Be Improvised returns to improvisation's roots in economic and social necessity and locates it as a core tenet of the aesthetics of obligation, where a commitment to others drives the production and result of creative work thus, this book puts forward a methodology to explore further the improvised, often ephemeral, works of art activism.ActivismSocial aspectsCivil rights workersSocial aspectsProtest movementsSocial aspectsSocial changePolitical aspectsPolitics and cultureSocial aspectsMinoritiesCivil rightsSocial aspectsIntimacy (Psychology)Political aspectsActivismSocial aspects.Civil rights workersSocial aspects.Protest movementsSocial aspects.Social changePolitical aspects.Politics and cultureSocial aspects.MinoritiesCivil rightsSocial aspects.Intimacy (Psychology)Political aspects.303.48/4PER011000SOC000000SOC001000bisacshFielder Elizabeth Rodriguez1768130EYMEYMBOOK9910889699803321The revolution will be improvised4287816UNINA
