What is The Sociology of Art : a Reader about?
Introducing the fundamental theories and debates in the sociology of art, this broad ranging book, the only edited reader of the sociology of art available, uses extracts from the core foundational and most influential contemporary writers in the field. As such it is essential reading both for students of the sociology of art, and of art history. Divided into five sections, it explores the following key themes: \* classical sociological theory and the sociology of art \* the social production of art \* the sociology of the artist \* museums and the social construction of high culture \* sociology aesthetic form and the specificity of art. With the addition of an introductory essay that contextualizes the readings within the traditions of sociology and art history, and draws fascinating parallels between the origins and development of these two disciplines, this book opens up a productive interdisciplinary dialogue between sociology and art history as well as providing a fascinating introduction to the subject.;Book Cover -- Title -- Copyright -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgements -- 1 Karl Marx -- 2 Max Weber -- 3 Georg Simmel -- 4 Emile Durkheim -- 5 Raymond Williams -- 6 How
