[ebooks] Theatre and the City by Professor Jen Harvie at Arts-Photography

Description

Art Is Not What You Think It Is utilizes original research to present a series of critical incursions into the current state of debate on the idea of art; making manifest what has been largely missing or unsaid in those discussions. Links museology; history; theory; and criticism to the realities of contemporary social conditions and shows how they have structurally functioned in a variety of contexts Deals with divisive and controversial problems such as blasphemy and idolatry; and the problem of artistic truth Addresses relations between European notions about art and artifice and those developed in other and especially indigenous cultural traditions
