The Art of Civilization

Více o knize

Exploring the interplay between art and civilization, Didier Maleuvre presents a compelling argument that art has historically rationalized engagement with bourgeois society from Ancient Greece to the Digital Age. He posits that the evolution of art mirrors the evolution of civilization, shaping aesthetics and critical perspectives. By examining the dynamics of culture, power, and subjectivity, Maleuvre reveals how art not only reflects but actively constructs social authority, proposing a transformative role for art in the cultivation of cultural identity and social reproduction.
