IndigePop: A Companion - Paperback

by Simon Bacon (Editor), Svetlana Seibel (Volume Editor), Kati Dlaske (Volume Editor)

Contemporary Indigenous popular culture is a dynamic and expansive cultural field that has been gaining increasing momentum since the turn of the twenty-first century. This edited collection brings together contributions by scholars, artists and practitioners who work with and in the field of Indigenous popular culture in various capacities, from different standpoints and in a range of geopolitical contexts. This approach aims at promoting a dialogue between diverse sites of knowledge production of and on the Indigenous popular at the same time as it reflects the multivocal, multimedial and multisited landscape of contemporary Indigenous popular culture. The contributions in the volume engage both the poetics and the politics of IndigePop, showcasing the creative and celebratory energies of Indigenous popular culture and Indigenerdity as well as their societal significance vis-?-vis Indigenous resistance, resurgence and political struggles.
