"Portraying Unease: the Art and Politics of Uncomfortable Attachments" by Ellen Suneson (Doctoral thesis, #LundUniversity, 2022, #OpenAccess)
"Portraying Unease critically discusses a tendency amongst politicized scholars to endow artworks with traits of subversion and political productivity. Artworks that address structural discrimination, such as heterosexism, racism, or ableism, are often described as possessing qualities that can challenge unjust systems or initiate political change. This thesis considers hope and belief in the political utility of visual art in terms of an emotional attachment: an anticipatory emotional bond to a set of promises concerning art’s abilities".
