Beyond Aesthetics

Art and the Technologies of Enchantment

Herausgeber: Pinney, Christopher; Thomas, Nicholas

Beschreibung

The anthropology of art is currently at a crossroads. Although well versed in the meaning of art in small-scale tribal societies, anthropologists are still wrestling with the question of how to interpret art in a complex, post-colonial environment. Alfred Gell recently confronted this problem in his posthumous book Art and Agency.
