The photographer and reformer Jacob Riis once wrote, I have seen an armful of daisies keep the peace of a block better than a policeman and his club. Riis was not alone in his belief that beauty could tame urban chaos, but are aesthetic experiences always a social good? Could aesthetics also inspire violent crime, working-class unrest, and racial murder? To answer these questions, Russ Castronovo turns to those who debated claims that art could democratize culture civic reformers, anarchists, novelists, civil rights activists, and college professors to reveal that beauty provides unexpected...

High Art Down Home: An Economic Ethnography of a Local Art Market
ISBN: 9780226670843 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How do artists, collectors, dealers, and curators whose lives and livelihoods are so intimately affected by the valuation of art manage to cope with such an intangible market?
To answer this question, Stuart Plattner eschews the spotlights and media-hype of glitzy New York galleries, and focuses instead upon the more localized, and much more typical, world of the St. Louis art scene. What emerges is the most comprehensive description ever published of a contemporary regional avant-garde center, where noble aesthetic ambitions compete with the exigencies of economic survival. Plattner's... How do artists, collectors, dealers, and curators whose lives and livelihoods are so intimately affected by the valuation of art manage to cope with s...

Canvases and Careers: Institutional Change in the French Painting World
ISBN: 9780226894874 / Angielski / Miękka / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the nineteenth century, the Academie des Beaux Arts, and institution of central importance to the artistic life of France for over two hundred years, yielded much of its power to the present system of art distribution, which is dependent upon critics, dealers, and small exhibitions. In Canvases and Careers, Harrison and Cynthia White examine in scrupulous and fascinating detail how and why this shift occurred. Assimilating a wide range of historical and sociological data, the authors argue convincingly that the Academy, by neglecting to address the social and economic conditions of...

Cultural Democracy explores the crisis of our national cultural vitality, as access to the arts becomes increasingly mediated by a handful of corporations and the narrow tastes of wealthy elites.

Literary Into Cultural Studies
ISBN: 9780415066419 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern literary study was founded on an opposition between the canon and its other, popular culture. The theory wars of the 1970s and the 1980s and, in particular, the advent of structuralist and post-structuralist theory, transformed this relationship. With the death of literature, the distinction between high and popular culture was no longer tenable, and the field of inquiry shifted from literary into cultural studies.
