Book Description
Value, Art, Politics draws together questions of value and evaluation in relation to studies of historical and contemporary art and artists, within a broad 'social history of art' conceptual framework. Topics covered include the status of aesthetic and other judgements and their relation to analytic methods in the discipline; the reformulation of feminist aesthetics and cultural politics; the impact of postcolonial theory; the status of 'traditional' media now such as paintings and sculptures; new technologies of visual representation; Marxism and culture after Postmodernism; revisionist histories of formalist criticism.
