Radical VisualsCritical thinking Author: Radu Stochita
Radical Visuals is a platform that aims at providing a Marxist, Anarchist understanding of video games, films, graphic novels and media as such. - We believe that critical theory should be applied in the realm of everyday life, not left in the academic books only. - We will see Marxist, Anarchist and other theories solely as critical mediums to offer a deeper understanding of society. We will not advocate for an overthrown of a system in favour of an other, since we do not posses that much knowledge yet. - We believe that understanding those mediums without a Marxist analysis, leaves behind issues of class exploitation, class-based relations and alienation. - We want to offer a visual analysis and understanding of those mediums.
