Post-Dictatorship Art in Argentina; Young Jazz Musicians in London

BBC Radio 4 - Thinking Allowed, Post-Dictatorship Art in Argentina; Young Jazz Musicians in London

Post-dictatorship art and culture, and the lives of jazz musicians in London.

Post-dictatorship art in Argentina and beyond - Laurie Taylor explores culture's role in marking the past and moving to the future. Plus the lives of jazz musicians in London.

Post dictatorship art in Argentina and beyond. Laurie Taylor talks to Vikki Bell, Professor of Sociology at Goldsmiths College, about the role of the arts in a society's journey to democracy. Whilst scholars of transitional justice tend to focus on the courts and the streets; this study asks how culture enables a country marked by state oppression to both mark, as well as transcend, its past. They're joined by Professor Sanja Bahun from the Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies at the University of Essex. Also, Charles Umney, Senior Lecturer in Human Resources and Organisational Behaviour at the University Of Greenwich, talks about the 'creative labour' of jazz musicians in London.
Producer: Jayne Egerton.
