| Description: |
Explores the tension between the theory and practice of art. It examines theories from the point of view of the art world and through a consideration of work by Rorty, Bauman, Gadamer and others. A new set of connections between ethical, social and art theory is developed, emphasising reflexivity as a concept. |
| Synopsis: |
This elegantly written book explores the tension between the theory and practice of art, taking issue with the approaches of the New Art History and its deconstructionist critics. It critically examines influential social theories of art from the viewpoint of the artworlds they target and, through a consideration of work by Rorty, Bauman, Gadamer and others, develops a new and fruitful set of connections between ethical, social and art theory that gives central importance to reflexivity as a living and problematic, as well as a theoretical, concept. |
