When we dead awaken: Art and activism in the works of Nadja Tesich and Adrienne Rich

Summary/Abstract: When we dead awaken: Art and activism in the works of Nadja Tesich and Adrienne Rich Summary: In this paper we will try to show how deculturalization, exploitation, globalization and the loss of faith in democracy mobilised Nadja Tesich and Adrienne Rich to become engaged writers. Their art and activizam are concerted efforts to ‘awaken the dead’ and arrouse the sleeping conscience of America. Special attention will be paid to the refusal of the engaged works by the above mentioned writers to exist in the hallucinating hologram of the trivial post-truth world of nigerization and denigerization, wimps and the mediocre. In such a world their art is a voice of hunger, of desire, of dissatisfaction. In the midst of historical and ideologica perversions it celebrates the creative, healing power of the human imagination and of art.
