Welcome to the Poetics of Resistance website.

“Poetics of Resistance” is a network of researchers and cultural producers in Europe, Latin America and the U.S. The network is built around different meetings and discussions on the "poetics of resistance", an enquiry into why we create the way we do, how creativity is related to and engages with the social, political and economic conditions in which it develops, the nature of resistance and how creativity can contribute to projects of resistance against what we would briefly call a neoliberalist political and economic agenda.

On these pages you will find resources, documents, links and information about the network and its activities. The bibliography contains a list of works that are important to the development of the project's thinking. The links take you to other websites related to the project. The forums include papers, abstracts, and discussion threads from events so far.
