ISBN: 9781849040877 / Angielski / Twarda / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book explores a burgeoning body of West African artistic production that draws upon photography, advertising, graphic design, European art history and Ghanaian history and culture. As such it constitutes an envisioning of a local modernity centred upon Kumasi, a vibrant trading...

What is worse, the "bad" culture is seen as driving out the "good. " Commer- cialization is assumed to destroy traditional arts and crafts, replacing them with junk. The process is seen as demeaning to artists in the traditional societies, who are seduced into a type of whoredom: unfeeling production of false beauty for money. The arts remain problematic for the social sciences. Sociology textbooks treat the arts as subordinate reflections of social forces, norms, or groups. An- thropology textbooks...
