Produktbeschreibung

Art matters. It affects us in our daily lives, and is full of meanings which are valuable to all of us. A catalyst for social interactions, art may either cause public conflict and create dissensions, or facilitate mutual understanding and strengthen collective bonds. This collection of original contributions from international, interdisciplinary experts explores particular case studies to deeply analyse artistic practices. Comprising eleven chapters relating to different art forms, each chapter in this volume offers an original perspective conveying a deep understanding of artistic practices as arrays of specific activities in contemporary art worlds.
