Vision and Society (eBook, ePUB)

Towards a Sociology and Anthropology from Art

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Vision and Society is an attempt to show that it is possible to go beyond a sociology of art to the more ambitious possibility of a sociology from art. This book develops a theory of the relationship of the visual and the social and illustrates these with comparative examples from around the world.
